Monitoring Health and Safety performance - Information from active and reactive monitoring is used to identify situations that create risks. Any management control system tends to weaken with time, particularly as people and activities change. There is therefore a clear need to review the health and safety management system periodically. This is best carried out by senior managers who are in a position to set future policies, can make judgements about the adequacy of health and safety performance and decide about the nature and timing of any actions needed. They also need to consider audit reports, where these are available, and reports from inspections and investigations. They need to assess whether performance standards and objectives have been met. Close involvement of safety committees can help this process. Good health and safety performance should be recognised. Bad performance needs to be discussed with the people concerned and plans made to improve performance. Successful health and safety management systems ensure that serious problems are put right quickly and do not wait until a formal review. Where problems have been left to the review stage, the review team should find out why, and ensure that in future such matters are dealt with properly.
-
Active monitoring (Audits) - Active monitoring is carried out before things go wrong, involves regular inspection and checking to ensure that your standards are being implemented and management controls are working. Health and safety auditing is a formalised technique for assessing the efficiency, effectiveness and reliability of the health and safety management system. It supports monitoring and gives employers information about the health and safety management system to allow review and planning for corrective action.
-
Reactive monitoring (Accident Investigation) - Reactive monitoring is carried out after things go wrong, involves learning from your mistakes, whether they have resulted in injuries, illness, property damage or near misses. Accident investigation is used to determine the route cause of an accident and any failure of the health and safety management system. It allows measures to be put into place and management procedures to be amended preventing re-occurrences.
