Objectives
Objectives should be set at the first meeting proceeding or during the Annual review to set objectives for the following 12 months. Further objectives may be added during the year and progress is to be reviewed during safety meetings.
Refer to pages 1.2 & 1.3.
Annual Reviews
Top or senior management (this includes PCBU, directors, senior or general managers etc.) will review the organisation’s OH&S management system at least yearly, to ensure its continuing suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness.
This must be documented. Use the pages on 2.5 and 2.6 to document the Annual Review process.
Management & Health and Safety Representative (HSR) Reviews
The management and HSR reviews will consider:
- the status of actions from previous reviews
- changes in external and internal issues that are relevant to the OH&S management system including
- legal requirements and other requirements
- the organisation’s OH&S risks and opportunities
- the extent to which the OH&S policy and the OH&S objectives have been met
- information on the OH&S performance, including trends in:
- incidents, nonconformities, corrective actions, and continual improvement
- worker participation and outputs
- monitoring and measurement results
- audit results
- results of evaluation of compliance
- OH&S risks and opportunities
- relevant communication(s) with interested parties
- opportunities for continual improvement
- adequacy of resources for maintaining an effective OH&S management system
The outputs of the reviews will include decisions related to:
- conclusions on the continuing suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness of the OH&S management system
- continual improvement opportunities
- any need for changes to the OH&S management system, including resources required
- actions required, when objectives have not been met.
Elements of management will be changed/updated when appropriate to promote continual improvement. Updating the OH&S and policy following the management review ensures continual improvement of the OH&SMS.
The organisation will communicate the relevant outputs of the review to its relevant workers, and if applicable, workers’ representatives. The organisation will retain documented information as evidence of the results of reviews.
Key Performance Indicators (KPI) – Safety-related
These should be identified and set at the first meeting proceeding or during the Annual review to set targets specifically for safety. These set KPIs/targets will be quantifiable. They will be reassessed at every Annual Review. Should %The_Company% note that they are not meeting these targets during the year, they will reassess them at the next safety meeting or earlier, depending on what the target relates to.
KPIs for %The_Company% – sign off as assessed and discussed at each safety meeting:
| 1st Quarter | 2nd Quarter | 2nd Quarter | 3rd Quarter | 4th Quarter |
| Total Recordable Incident Rate | ||||
| Lost Time Incident Frequency Rate <1.0 |
