Occupational Health and Safety

TABS is based in Ballarat and has provided advice and assistance on Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) to rural and city based companies throughout Australia since 1991.

 TABS will come to your business to provide a free review of your OHS systems and practices or advice on any current OHS problems you may have.

 To this point you are under no obligation.  You have a choice to address the issues yourself or you can request a quote from TABS to provide assistance. 

Working with small businesses

TABS specializes in working with small business with two to 100 employees to recognize OHS problems and develop simple, tailor made solutions that fit your budget.  Policy and procedural development are the key to a functioning workplace regardless of size or industry. 

If work instructions and directions are clear to all employees the following outcomes are achievable;

1. Everybody understands their role and obligations to the business.

2. Health and Safety requirements are spelt out.

3. Legislative obligations are met, and potential WorkSafe penalties can be avoided.

4. All work operations are completed with safety built in to the process.

5. Discipline options are clear and enforceable.

OHS compliance

TABS is happy to talk with any business who has any doubts about their OHS compliance.  If you are unsure, then the following issues may get you thinking:

• Do you have job descriptions for your employees?
• Do you have a documented Induction program?
• Do you have worker’s compensation claims (or near miss accidents on the job)?
• Would some clear work procedures reduce mistakes, rework or unhappy customers?
• Do different employees do the same job differently with impacts on quality, machinery malfunction and poor work output?

Take advantage of our offer.  Remember, the appointment and advice is free.  If we reckon you are doing OK then we will tell you so.  If we offer some suggestions, it is up to you to decide if there is a next step.
