Background - How to Measure and Evaluate WHS Management Systems?

The 3-step Work Health and Safety compliance check is applicable to all Australian businesses, regardless of size, industry or organizational structure.

These three steps include:

1 - A general evaluation

2 - Documentation evaluation

3 - Worksite evaluation

1 - General evaluation - Conducting a general assessment is the first step in measuring and evaluating your current WHS management system. This will give you a good idea of the current WHS provision, and help you decide what improvements or changes you would like to make.

This step is also known as safety self-audit. Although it won't provide a complete picture of your organization's WHS compliance, it will give you an indication of where your organization is at this point. 

2 – Documentation evaluation - The second step will allow you to examine the documentation that your company or organization has. Although it won't provide a complete or comprehensive picture, it will highlight potential problems and give suggestions on how to address them.

3 – Worksite evaluation – The final step of your WHS management software self-audit, will examine the conditions at your workplace and ask if you can improve or maintain them. If so, what should you do?
