Question Title

* 4. Which of the following statements best describes the status of WHS in your organisation? (Select one)

a) We have high WHS engagement throughout all levels of the organisation, safety is how we do business at all times and we are always seeking improvements. Failure is an opportunity to improve, not to blame. Management knows what’s going on because the workforce keeps them informed.

b) We are moving away from what happened in the past and are trying to proactively prevent what may go wrong in the future. Our WHS personnel provide advice and the workforce are instrumental in establishing good safety practices. Workers help fix hazards when identified.

c) We have systems to manage all hazards. We collect, analyse and report safety data. Safety is very much a management function or responsibility. Workers report hazards for managers to fix.

d) Safety is taken seriously but this tends to be only after something has gone wrong. Managers may feel frustrated that the workforce won’t do as they’re instructed. Some hazards get reported.

e) Workers cause most of our safety problems. Our objective is to ensure the business operates well and we don’t get prosecuted by the regulator. Do what we have to, to be compliant.
