Occupational Health Safety & Welfare
+ Risk Management

 

PREAMBLE

EnviroCorp Group Pty Ltd (“Envirocorp”) Trading as Enviropoles (EnviroPoles) has from commencement, maintained a stringent commitment to Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare (OHS&W) within the workplace. This commitment is applied and maintained on all Envirocorp Manufacturing, head office sites and client sites serviced by Envirocorp Group Pty Ltd.

 

In order to ensure compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004, its regulations and other OHS&W codes of practice, Envirocorp has employed a dedicated Emergency response and Risk Management plan consisting of “Emergency Response Personnel” (ERP), risk management practices and procedures and continuous training for both personnel and management.

 

In addition to OHS&W, Envirocorp is also committed to the assessment, minimization and ultimately, avoidance of workplace risk. Accordingly, Envirocorp has developed a comprehensive Risk Management protocol involving the strategic planning of responses to emergency situations. This includes a methodical assessment, reporting and contingency response plan for all sites serviced by Envirocorp.

 

 

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY OVERVIEW (OH&S)

 

Consistent with and pursuant to section 4 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (Victoria) (referred hereafter as the “OH&S ACT”), Envirocorp Group Pty Ltd agree that

 

“The importance of health and safety requires that employees, other persons at work and members of the public be given the highest level of protection against risk to their health and safety that is reasonably practicable in the circumstances [within the workplace]”

 

In order to achieve both compliance with OH&S rules and regulations and an effective harm / risk minimization policy, Envirocorp recognizes that is important to maintain strong and open lines of communication with all employee’s and / or subcontractor’s concerning any measures which ,may need to be taken in order to avoid risks within the workplace.

 

As further stated in ss.4(3) of the OH&S Act, Envirocorp accepts that as an employer and principal contractor it is also important to ensure that a proactive stance is given to matters concerning health and safety and hence the implementation of various documents, reporting mechanisms and evaluation processes by Envirocorp. The following therefore aims to provide some insight into the procedural protocol of Envirocorp OH&S and Risk Management plan.
