OHS Risk Management
Before a conversation on facility design and elevations in both worker and user experience can even start, the foundation for viable facility management begins over risk management in building construction, making sure that operations and tasks can be pursued in the first place without their threat to tenant or worker wellbeing.
What are the components that typically form OHS Risk Management?
Prone to societal and environmental adaptations to health across industries, making sure that your construction process - and its maintenance in building use afterwards - appropriately considers occupational health and safety is critical for safe productivity to ever be the modus operandi of a given facility.
Forming the backbone of safe practice and ethical work in legislature, the Occupational Health and Safety Act of 2004 - extended by its succeeding rulings and Regulations in 2017 - covers the legal groundwork of appropriate oversight and supervision of safety in work environments, and the compliance of risk management in building construction to adhere to these legislations as a moral compass for safe use.
