Team 4: OSH Monitoring Records for SHC Meeting Input #
This team will work on compiling a system for monitoring OSH performance indicators and records that can be used as inputs for SHC meetings. This includes tracking accident rates, safety training attendance, incident investigations, and risk assessment updates. The team will develop a standardized reporting format for use during SHC meetings.
Key records to include:
- Accident and near-miss records.
- Safety training attendance and outcomes.
- Updates on ongoing risk assessments and hazard controls.
- Corrective actions and their completion status.
Reference link:
- Accident/Incident Records
- Occupational Disease Records
- Safety Inspection Records
- Investigation Reports
- Stakeholder or Interested Parties Feedback
Expected Output:
A standardized OSH monitoring report template to be presented during SHC meetings, highlighting key safety and health performance indicators.
Presentation of Output: #
After completing the discussion and development of these checklists, each team will present their documented checklists and templates, ensuring that all aspects of safety and health compliance are covered. The checklists will be reviewed for practicality, regulatory compliance, and completeness, with the final version ready for use in SHC operations.
Each team will provide their completed checklists and monitoring templates for final review and integration into the organization’s SHC documentation system.
