What is Due Diligence?
Due diligence is a critical concept that helps safeguard the well-being of all. It involves a proactive commitment to:
Staying informed about work health and safety matters.
Gaining insights into the unique risks and hazards associated with various operations.
Ensuring the availability and effective use of resources and processes to minimise health and safety risks.
Establishing robust incident and risk management procedures.
Implementing measures to meet all legal obligations under relevant regulations.
Due diligence, as defined in the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Qld), consists of four key elements: data, response, implementation, and monitoring. These elements are crucial for creating a comprehensive safety framework and are the pillars of a proactive commitment to:
Collect Data: Staying informed about work health and safety matters by continuously acquiring and updating knowledge. This involves gathering information and insights about the potential risks and hazards associated with various operations.
Respond to Data: Developing a deep understanding of the unique risks and hazards revealed through data collection. Responding to data means taking prompt and appropriate actions to address safety concerns.
Implement Changes: Ensuring the availability and effective use of resources and processes to minimize health and safety risks. Implementing changes is about taking steps to improve safety based on the information gathered and the responses made.
Monitor Changes: Establishing robust incident and risk management procedures and continuously verifying the provision and use of essential resources and processes. Monitoring changes is essential to ensure that the safety measures put in place are effective and sustainable.
At Overwatch Safety Solutions, we provide information and resources that guide you on how to integrate these elements into your safety culture. We will help you understand and fulfill specific duties and obligations from work place safety management systems, transport compliance, incident investigation, site audits and more.
