Mandatory workplace inspections are now due for completion
Workplace inspections are critical to making sure we provide a safe working environment. They are also a mandatory component of our health and safety responsibility and assist in identifying and controlling any workplace hazards.
Workplace inspections are due to be completed by Thursday 30 June 2022. We encourage you to download the department workplace inspection forms, which are available via Protect, and allocate time to complete any outstanding inspection tasks.
All unit, area, and department managers are accountable for:
- Assigning the task of completing a Quarterly Workplace Inspection report to an employee
- Ensuring the Health and Safety Representative/s are given the opportunity to be consulted throughout this inspection process
- Ensuring that the results of the workplace inspections are entered into the online Workplace Inspections form and are submitted
- Ensuring corrective actions are implemented to address documented hazards.
- Updating and closing out any outstanding open actions identified in previous inspections. ‘Fixing’ the things that you have identified is essential to help us protect our colleagues from injury and harm at work.
For more information on completing your workplace inspections tasks, visit the resources section of safety intranet page for Quick Use Guides, FAQs and tips on how to address common actions.
If you require further assistance, contact our OHS Advice Line (9594 6140), your Safety Advisor or email safety@monashhealth.org.
