A detailed explanation of the key aspects of effective health and safety management systems
within the organization:
The company’s health & safety management program is fundamentally based on four
pillars they are:
PLAN DO
ACT CHECK
Planning: Hazard identification and risk assessment occur during this phase,
and the significant hazards may be included in the policy statement. The
whole process of hazard identification, risk determination, and the selection of
risk reduction or control measures is termed ‘risk assessment.’. Realistic
targets should be agreed upon within the organization and published as part
of the Policy.
DO: Will only be successful if there is good communication at and between all
levels of the organization. So, the organization always giving more importance
to ensure the good communication at and between all levels of the
organization. Effective communication should also be with other stakeholders,
such as regulators, contractors, customers, and trade unions. The
performance phase must be monitored regularly for bringing a good health
and safety culture within the organization.
CHECK: This phase includes active & reactive assessments,
Active assessment includes:
• Work-based inspections and audits.
• Regular health and safety committee meetings.
• Feedback from training sessions and a constant review of risk
assessments.
Reactive assessment relies on records of accidents, work-related injuries, ill
health and near misses, and any enforcement notices. Following an
investigation, any recommended remedial or preventative actions must be
implemented immediately and monitored regularly
ACT: This phase reviews the effectiveness of the health and safety
management system and the identification of any weaknesses. will assess
whether targets have been met and the reasons for any underperformance
Issues such as available resources, supervisors’ vigilance, and workforce
cooperation should be considered at the review stage When
recommendations are made, the review process must define a timescale by
which any improvements are implemented, and this part of the process must
also be monitored.
