Good Practice
The
National Strategy
The
National OHS Strategy 2002-2012 (National Strategy) provides a basis for
developing sustainable, safe and healthy work environments and for reducing the
number of people hurt or killed at work.
The
National Strategy sets the following targets:
·
to sustain a
significant, continual reduction in the incidents of work-related fatalities
with a reduction of at least 20 per cent by 30 June 2012 (with a reduction of 10
per cent being achieved by 30 June 2007), and
·
to reduce the
incidence of workplace injury by at least 40 per cent by 30 June 2012 (with a
reduction of 20 per cent being achieved by 30 June 2007).
The National Strategy identifies five priority areas requiring national action.
They are:
·
reduce the impact
of risks at work
·
improve the
capacity of business operators and workers to manage OHS effectively
·
prevent
occupational disease more effectively
·
eliminate hazards
at the design stage, and
·
strengthen the
capacity of government to influence OHS outcomes.
