Participants can establish permit-to-work controls for high-risk and non-routine activities.

• Permit-to-work scope defined for hazardous and non-routine activities
• Isolation and lockout-tagout requirements verified before work authorisation
• Confined-space permits address atmosphere testing, rescue, and standby duties
• Hot-work permits control ignition sources, fire watch, and post-work checks
• Work-at-height permits specify access methods, anchors, and rescue arrangements
• Permit closure confirms area reinstatement, isolation removal, and handover

Participants can manage contractor selection, mobilisation, supervision and performance assurance.

• Prequalification criteria assess competence, incident history, systems, and insurance
• Contract OSH clauses define responsibilities, reporting, and audit rights
• Mobilisation checks verify inductions, risk assessments, permits, and equipment
• Interface risks controlled through coordination meetings and shared plans
• Supervisor monitoring records contractor compliance, observations, and corrective actions
• Contractor performance reviews use leading indicators and closeout evidence

Participants can establish competence and consultation arrangements that support compliance.

• Competence matrices link roles with training, certification, and experience
• Training needs analysis identifies knowledge, skill, and authorisation gaps
• Induction programmes cover site rules, hazards, emergency procedures, reporting
• Toolbox talks reinforce task-specific controls and recent safety learning
• Safety committees use worker input, action logs, and escalation routes
• Training records track attendance, assessment, expiry, and refresher dates

Participants can integrate occupational health risks, surveillance and wellbeing controls into compliance plans.

• Health-risk assessments cover noise, chemicals, ergonomics, and biological agents
• Exposure monitoring plans define sampling methods, frequency, and action levels
• Health surveillance matched to exposure profiles and legal requirements
• Ergonomic assessments address workstation design, manual handling, and repetition
• Psychosocial risk factors assessed through workload, control, support, and conflict
• Confidential medical information managed with defined access and retention controls

Participants can plan, test and review emergency arrangements for credible workplace scenarios.

• Emergency scenarios selected through hazard analysis and credible consequence assessment
• Response plans define incident command, communication, evacuation, and accountability
• First-aid provision determined by workforce profile, hazards, and response times
• Emergency equipment inspections cover alarms, extinguishers, spill kits, and eyewash
• Drill evaluations record timings, observations, improvement actions, and responsible owners
• Business continuity interfaces address recovery priorities after safety incidents

Participants can investigate incidents systematically and produce actions that address underlying causes.

• Reporting thresholds distinguish injuries, near misses, dangerous occurrences, and illnesses
• Immediate response preserves life, scene evidence, notifications, and records
• Five Whys and causal-factor analysis identify underlying control failures
• Witness interviews obtain factual accounts without blame or leading questions
• Corrective actions address systems, supervision, competence, and physical controls
• Investigation reports document findings, legal notifications, and action ownership

Participants can operate inspection and corrective-action processes that produce verified compliance evidence.

• Inspection schedules prioritise legal requirements, critical controls, and incident trends
• Checklists distinguish observable conditions, documents, behaviours, and equipment status
• Nonconformities graded by risk, legal exposure, and recurrence potential
• Corrective-action registers assign owners, due dates, evidence, and verification
• Root-cause recurrence checks test whether actions prevent repeated failures
• Escalation thresholds address overdue actions and unresolved critical risks

Participants can select performance indicators and produce reports for operational and executive decisions.

• Leading indicators measure inspections, training, action closure, and worker participation
• Lagging indicators classify injuries, illness, lost time, and severity
• TRIR and LTIFR calculations interpreted with workforce-hours data
• Dashboards distinguish trends, targets, exceptions, and management actions
• Data quality checks identify missing records, duplicate events, and misclassification
