By placing our staffs safety first, we not only meet legal obligations but also empower our team to deliver exceptional care to our clients.
At hello! Mr Thompson, we take great care to understand and comply with the NSW government's Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017. We diligently uphold the standards outlined by the government and continuously strive to surpass them, ensuring the highest level of safety for our staff.
We have developed a comprehensive safety management system that serves as the foundation of our workplace safety practices. This system encompasses well-defined policies, procedures, and protocols tailored specifically to our disability support services. It covers critical areas such as risk assessment, incident reporting, emergency response, and ongoing staff training. Regular reviews and updates of the system ensure its relevance and effectiveness.
The safety of our staff is our top priority, which is why we conduct thorough risk assessments for each in-home support environment they encounter. We meticulously identify potential hazards related to individual disabilities, home environments, and the specific tasks involved. By addressing risks associated with manual handling, personal safety, and environmental factors, we can effectively minimize potential dangers and ensure the well-being of our staff.
We actively engage in open communication with our clients and their families, valuing their insights and concerns regarding safety. By fostering a collaborative approach, we work together to develop personalized care plans that address specific safety requirements. We encourage ongoing feedback from clients and their families, allowing us to continuously enhance the quality and safety of the support we provide.
We have established a robust incident reporting system that encourages our staff to promptly report any safety incidents or near misses. Our commitment to maintaining a non-punitive environment ensures open and honest communication. By diligently analyzing incident reports, we can identify trends, implement preventive measures, and continuously improve our safety practices.
Regular reviews and audits of our safety management system are an integral part of our commitment to workplace safety. We actively involve our staff in these processes, seeking their input on potential hazards and safety enhancements. By actively engaging in safety audits, conducting staff surveys, and holding regular safety meetings, we proactively seek to enhance workplace safety.
