Waste oil will be a tricky one. The measure will mostly be around the containers. I have found a few in the bottom of skips rather than waiting for the recycling company.

This has been debated for many years. Personally backing in to the larger area seems to make sense. I have not seen any statistically significant research. The other question is do you want to make yourself a parking warden by choice?

They could make an ACC claim.

We can also cover mental injuries if you've experienced, seen or heard a traumatic event at work. — ACC.co.nz

Just a reminder: It would be completely unethical if everyone added 20K to their salaries and then we all took this to our next rem meeting.

The next question needs to be are you just using poor contractors and penalizing them rather than replacing them?

That is my thoughts also. We are not talking about watchmakers here.

Thanks

This is great. For the management hierarchy I use an angry dog running around the site. The management ranges from sending the dog to go "live on a farm" to everyone wearing padded suits and having beware of the dog signs. It helps people to realize why we don't start with signs and high vis.

I had a similar one but they decide to wait until a stock truck drove in and stood on that.

Driving down hill towards the The Terrace in Wellington. I stopped when I saw a pipe being lifted off the back of a truck by a construction site fixed crane. Had I not stopped I would have driven in to it. There were a couple of people (not in high vis stopping) people and guiding the operator.

We are going through this process at the moment.

My key requirement is integration with out systems. I have no interest in a system that requires each new person, site or delegation to be manually entered.

If we can get data in to Power BI so that it can appear on our other dashboards that would give H&S more integration.

Lastly the system needs incident reporting, observations and audits entered via an android app.

Hello Sarah,

I agree. This has been very useful for us in our planning.

Hello Jo,

Unless it is fully integrated with the business systems it will struggle. Finding a package that will integrate with the Office365/Sharepoint/Active directory environment has difficult. Providers will happy charge you thousands to load your user and site data in to their system but it means committing to ongoing tasks every-time you have a starter, mover or leaver.

We are currently looking at installing convergepoint later this year most due to the price point and intergration.

Uniforms and dress codes are a nightmare. Add to this breath-ability, high visibility and cost.

If they do extra hours they should be paid accordingly.

Hello Chris,

I agree the salvia test will be more useful. I think it may lead to companies taking a tougher look at their alcohol policies as well.

That is the one. Cheers.

Worksafe have met with the producers of "The Block" in the past.

There was a fellow who had a thriving business setting up H&S systems for golf clubs back in the glory days of WSMP. GolfNZ should have some information for you.

I agree Peter. I am not sure how ready HR around the country are for this. HRINZ will do their thing and every HR Law Firm will run presentations but for most businesses it will come down to what they do when the first issue arises.

Companies already have trouble with the concept of "random" , now they will need to improve on "reasonable cause" and "impairment".
