[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_class=”container”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]When was the last time you checked out your SSSP? With everything that\u2019s happened this year, you\u2019ve probably had a lot of different safety protocols thrown together. So now that things have *hopefully* calmed down, here are some tips to get your site safety back up to scratch in time for 2021.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Put your SSSP in an obvious place<\/strong><\/p>\n

If anyone from WorkSafe turns up, you\u2019ll want to make sure your site-specific safety plan is in a place where everyone can see it. If you\u2019ve got one but it\u2019s lost in amongst the rubble, it\u2019s time to fish it out and make sure it\u2019s clearly visible. Stick it up by the front door, and if it needs to be moved at any point, make sure this is noted somewhere and everyone knows where its new home is.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Update your Hazard Board<\/strong><\/p>\n

How often do you use your Hazard Board? You should be using it regularly, and not just when the auditors come through. Not only will it make sure everyone who\u2019s on site is safe, it\u2019ll also fulfil your legal obligations to communicate hazards to every person who enters the site. Keep a marker pen handy in your safety kit, or next to the sign-in register to remind you to make sure it\u2019s always updated.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Pick a person to induct visitors<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important that everyone who enters your site knows the drill about safety. They need to be aware of what hazards are present on that day and how they can keep themselves safe. The last thing you need is the client tripping over some wiring and ending up in the hospital – not ideal for you or for them. Pick one person who will be responsible for inducting any newcomers to the site to make sure you\u2019re covered.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Listen to the team<\/strong><\/p>\n

You might think your SSSP is all sorted and you\u2019ve got the right methods in place. But sometimes a fresh pair of eyes is exactly what you need. Your team are the ones who are working in the trenches so to speak, so you should be getting their input too. Get their feedback on any improvements they would make. If they feel as though their input matters, they\u2019ll be more likely to follow the plan too.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”related-post”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Related articles” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center|color:%2313143e” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”title my-5″][vc_basic_grid post_type=”post” max_items=”4″ element_width=”3″ orderby=”rand” item=”918″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1605130638087-5d0dd471-1f93-7″ el_class=”related-posts mx-auto mt-3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
