The requirements for OHSA (Occupational Health and Safety Act,1993) compliance is a challenge for many organisations as it involves ongoing attention and time by the appointed safety team which can impact on productivity. Compliance requires a comprehensive administrative process whereby all safety policies, assessments and corrective actions need to be documented and recorded for a minimum of three years. More often or not, the time needed to do this accurately proves far too much. At minimum, an organization needs to appointment a couple of staff members tasked with OHS and hold at least one monthly safety meeting in order to the approved standard of safety management. This situation can be potentially hazardous to an organizations safety.
