OHS Student FAQ's

The 3 C's for success with OHS implementation in the Workplace.

There are 3 very important factors to consider when implementing anything new or making changes within an organisation.  This is particularly important when it comes to OHS.  These 3 factors are the 3C's and they all go hand-in-hand.

• Commitment
• Consultation
• Communication

Commitment needs to come from Senior Management to ensure there is a culture of importance throughout the organisation. Senior Management need to demonstrate a commitment to its OHS policies.  A very valuable way of ensuring there is full commitment at a senior level is to communicate and consult Duty of Care with the Senior Management members.

It is imperative to consult with all key stakeholders to identify hazards, determine causes of incidents and to determine the best course of action to minimise and or control risk.  This is particularly performed in organisations via Committees, toolbox meetings, inspections and investigations and general walk-arounds!

Communicating processes, controls and policies is necessary to ensure that all key stakeholders understand the policies, procedures and controls.  Many organisations may do this via toolbox meetings, inductions or training, noticeboards, etc.
