s on the hazards identified and the outcomes of risk assessment. Regular reports should be maintained by the relevant staff on any hazards, identified risks, incident reports and outcomes relating to these findings. Some of these reports can be used to meet legislative requirements and others can be used for continuous improvement purposes that can assist an organisation to further develop their processes. An OHS Plan could be used to track and keep information on hand as required. There are a number of different ways in which an OHS Plan can be implemented into an organisation, and each individual manager can take responsibility for how this can be done. OHS Plans ensure monitoring and evaluating procedures are in place to accurately identify and keep records. This is a good way to ensure activities set by an organisation are achieving their intended outcomes. Any safety issues and considerations should be addressed well before they become an issue in the workplace. OHS Plans can help in the early detection and identification of issues and situations to assist in the control and regulation of safety in the workplace. Managers need to be aware of the role they are required to play in the communication of relevant information to their work group. Managers should be responsible for; Ensuring systems and policies are adhered to at all times Ensuring safety of all staff and team members Checking for compliance of safety issues Maintaining reports as required
