What a health and safety landscape should look like in the transport industry
The ideal WHS landscape in the transport sector should include:
- workplace leaders who show commitment to health and safety through participation in safety meetings in the workplace and elsewhere
- safe systems of work implemented through consultation with workers
- clear and relevant communication in safety messages to aid workers from diverse backgrounds, including young and non-English speaking workers
- worker input into new safety practices. A safe environment takes into consideration the physical and psychological (mental health) aspects of work practices
- both formal and ‘on the job’ developmental opportunities are used to develop worker capability
- adequate supervision provided for workers while they are developing capability in the workplace.
