Ensuring workplace safety and health (WSH) is paramount in any organization, and having a Risk Management Champion is crucial to meet these goals while adhering to organizational policies and WSH regulations.
Let’s dive into the key responsibilities of this champion in establishing a robust risk management framework.
1. Defining Expectations: The Risk Management Champion plays a pivotal role in aligning organizational WSH expectations with key personnel. This involves a collaborative effort to establish clear guidelines and responsibilities for risk management.
This will be taught in the Bizsafe Level 2 course.
2. Forming a Risk Management Team: In accordance with organizational WSH policies and WSH (Risk Management) Regulations, the champion assembles a dedicated team. This team comprises individuals who are well-versed in risk assessment and control measures, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
3. Hazard Identification Methodology: One of the initial steps is developing a structured methodology to identify WSH hazards within the workplace, covering all aspects of work activities and trades. This ensures that potential risks are thoroughly scrutinized.
4. Risk Control Measures Framework: Establishing a comprehensive framework for implementing risk control measures is essential. This framework is guided by the principles of the hierarchy of control, ensuring that risks are minimized to a reasonably practicable level.
5. Crafting a Risk Management Plan: A well-structured workplace risk management plan is then developed, incorporating hazard identification, risk assessment, and the application of control measures, all in strict accordance with organizational WSH policy.
6. Stakeholder Engagement: The Risk Management Champion must present the finalized risk management plan to relevant stakeholders for their consideration. This step ensures transparency and collaboration in implementing risk management strategies.
7. Effective Communication: Lastly, the champion is responsible for effectively communicating identified hazards, assessed risks, and implemented control measures to all concerned parties. This aligns with the risk management plan’s directives and ensures that everyone is well-informed and vigilant. These are some of the important topics you will learn in the Bizsafe Level 2 course.
