OH&S Needs Expert Knowledge
All businesses need specialist expertise to ensure they have robust systems in place that meet Australia’s occupational health and safety (OH&S) laws. Developments such as the proposed national harmonisation of OH&S laws will put even more pressure on organisations to fulfill their moral and financial responsibilities to employees. As you know, OH&S can be managed by staff within your organisation or by outsourcing. Companies that outsource OH&S bring in the expertise but can struggle to retain the learnings and knowledge gained. Employing permanent or contract OH&S specialists may be the best of both worlds: allowing you to manage injury prevention and limit financial risk while retaining the hard-earned knowledge and experience within your organisation.
