WHS update and safety systems in the face of natural disasters – does yours hold up?
If the past few years have taught us anything, it is that our businesses need to have robust systems in place to allow us to respond and adapt to the unexpected.
Aside from the extended impacts of the pandemic, organisations have faced floods, cyclones and fires that have caused significant negative impacts for their operations as well as for the safety of their teams.
In particular, the recent floods in Queensland have highlighted some gaps in safety systems, risk management and disaster recovery plans.
In this complimentary webinar from our workplace relations and safety team, Gemma Sharp will share recent learnings from her work assisting organisations in their safety response to natural disasters.
Gemma will discuss:
- the types of work health and safety issues that can arise in natural disasters
- the key elements of a safety and risk management plan that enable organisations to respond quickly to a natural disaster, ensuring the safety of their teams
- common gaps in safety systems that can lead to issues when disaster strikes
- how to mitigate the risks posed in the return to full operations after a natural disaster
- practical steps you can take to ensure your organisation is prepared.
Julia Braddick will also take the opportunity to provide an update on recent amendments to the Model WHS Act and Regulations.
This webinar is designed for safety managers and officers, as well as other senior executives involved in the response to safety incidents.
We hope you can join us for this practical and insightful session.
