All
PeopleStreme staff are encouraged to achieve extraordinary outcomes.
This is accomplished through a variety of means and OH&S plays a key
role in our delivery. We strive to provide an office environment which
minimizes hazardous conditions such as chemicals, heavy machinery or power
sources. Our pro active approach to the prevention of staff injury and
illness ensures our continued success and therefore the success of our
valued clients. Therefore, we urge our staff to suggest ways of improving
their workplace safety.
PeopleStreme
is pro active in ensuring that any injury or illness related threat is
immediately managed by the officers of the company. Studies have shown
that recuperating employees who are given a light workload and allowed
to interact with their workmates often have a far quicker and better recovery
than otherwise. During recuperation, PeopleStreme provides office computer
connectivity to the homes of staff. Those staff who might have some temporary
illness or injury but are willing to work are able to continue to be employed
and fulfilled in their work rather than being bored at home or losing
touch with their workmates and clients. We make a great effort to return
staff to work as soon as practicable even if a full recovery has not been
completed. This strategy invariably leads to greater cooperation, better
morale, and greater productivity.
At PeopleStreme
health and safety management is the province not just of the officers
of PeopleStreme but also that of every single staff member. We ensure
that individuals and teams within PeopleStreme maintain
OH&S standards and make an effort to support the health and safety
of all of our staff. The layout and structure of our office environment
is a key element of our OH&S policy and appropriate office design
values are constantly being incorporated into our workplace.
PeopleStreme
is aware of its compliance requirements under the Victorian Occupational
Health and Safety Act 1985, its subordinate regulations and codes of practice,
including the regulations for:
- Manual
handling
- Plant
safety
- Confined
spaces
- The new
Occupational Health and Safety Incident Notifications Regulations 1997
We continue
to work closely with clients who have special OH&S requirements at
particular sites. In conjunction with our clients, PeopleStreme ensures
that specific client OH&S processes and procedures are adhered to
through co-developed induction courses and documentation. In addition,
project specific OH&S risks are considered and our policies and procedures
are adopted as the situation requires.
