Safety Resolution Procedure Clause Samples

Safety Resolution Procedure. The purpose of a separate Safety Resolution Procedure is to provide an alternative remedy for resolving “genuine” safety disputes without unnecessarily disrupting work in other areas. This procedure recognises that no employee is required to work in areas or perform unsafe acts where there is imminent risk to their health and safety. It is also recognised that work should continue normally in areas that are safe and that the culture of “one out all out” is prohibited and unlawful. The employer will develop its own safety dispute settlement procedure for each project to ensure genuine safety disputes are either prevented or managed as effectively as possible. Such a procedure shall include but not be limited to provisions based on the following principles. • Nominated principal contractors representative/s • Agreed procedures for the appointment of the safety committee and distribution of minutes or outcomes of meetings. • Nomination and distribution of persons names appointed to the safety committee. • A shared understanding and commitment to a graduated consultation and resolution process whereby alleged safety issues are raised and resolved at the workplace. Such a process should enable workers to bring safety issues to the site supervisor/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in the first instance. If unresolved elected OH&S representatives shall be entitled to bring the matter to the attention of the site safety representative for resolution. If the matter is still unresolved the most senior site representative shall be consulted for a determination and resolution. Work shall continue normally while this process is being followed unless there is an imminent risk to workers health and safety or imminent risk of damage to property or harm to others. Where work ceases, all workers must make themselves available for safe and alternate duties as directed by the employer until the matters are resolved. • The company reserves the right to contact Workplace Health and Safety New South Wales inspectors to determine whether there are genuine safety breaches that require rectification.
