in Profile - OH&S Checklist Sent to Host Employers: | Last
year the Victorian OH&S Act (2004) was clarified to stipulate a shared, non-delegable
duty between the labour hire firm and host employer to the on-hired employee.
This change, combined with an increase in the rate of OH&S-related compensation
claims, has resulted in an increased necessity for labour hire firms to proactively
monitor, check and record OH&S-related information. PeoplePulse can help in
the data collection and reporting components of this effort. Some
of the key benefits of utilising OH&S surveys are: - Permanent
and easily accessible record of all OH&S questionnaire results;
- Results
can be sorted by criteria such as completed date, name, and region;
- Ability
to set the survey up as a 'test' and issue automated pass/fail results to respondents;
- Reduces
your overall OH&S risk.
An example
of one of the types of OH&S surveys that can be run using PeoplePulse is the
First contact checklist, which would be sent to the host employer to obtain
preliminary information about the job, work environment, historical OH&S record,
etc. To view a demo of this survey, please click the link below. These questions
are based on questionnaires developed by Worksafe Victoria.
