A health and safety management system's planning (PLAN) entails creating and putting into place acceptable management structures to control risks by adopting workplace preventative actions. These precautions must be commensurate to the risks and hazards present in the organisation. Any management system must be flexible enough to adapt to adjustments in an organization's operations, employees, or regulatory needs.
During the planning process, three important questions must be addressed:
- Where is the organization in terms of the management of health and safety?
- Where does it want to be?
- How does it get there?
These questions will have different responses at the site level than they would have at the corporate level of a major multisite firm. As a result, it should be demanded of them at all levels that they fully comprehend the efficiency of health and safety management throughout the entire firm.
There are three sections in the process of planning for health and safety:
- correct information about the existing situation;
- suitable benchmarks against which to make comparisons
- competent people to carry out the analysis and make judgments.
The key requirements of this framework are as follows:
Evidence suggests that a well-thought-out policy helps businesses operate efficiently and continuously improve. It helps to reduce monetary losses brought on by avoidable accidents and shows the workforce that accidents are not always the fault of any specific employee. This managerial style may boost productivity, job happiness, and employee cooperation. All stakeholders can see from this example of senior management involvement that the firm takes its obligations to people and the environment seriously.
A strong health and safety culture at all organisational levels depends on everyone having a common knowledge of the company's values and principles. An organisation must have clearly defined health and safety duties in order to establish a healthy safety culture. Health and safety are always under management responsibility in the workplace. The official organisational structure should be set up such that managers, employees, and safety representatives work together to promote health and safety. The DO level of the management system requires a strong organisational structure.
This entails putting performance guidelines and protocols into use while utilising a reliable occupational health and safety management system. The strategy relies on risk assessment techniques to establish priorities and goals for limiting or getting rid of risks and hazards. Setting performance standards against which accomplishments can be measured is necessary for success measurement.
This implies utilising a trustworthy occupational health and safety management system together with performance guidelines and protocols. Priorities and goals for limiting or eliminating risks and hazards are established using risk assessment methodologies. For success measurement, performance standards must be established against which accomplishments can be evaluated.
The evaluation process is strengthened by an independent and organised audit of every component of the health and safety management system. These audits could be internal or outside. The audit evaluates adherence to the policies and practises for health and safety management. If the audit is to be successful, it must evaluate both workplace performance and adherence to set protocols. It will reveal holes in the health and safety policy and practises and point out standards and goals that are either low or too high.
positive health and safety culture;- The involvement of all stakeholders;
- An effective audit; and
- Continual improvement.
