Gary’s Safety Tips 
G’day everyone, it’s Gary, and today I wanna talk about something that’s close to my heart: safety in the workplace. You see, whether you’re a business owner, a manager, or an employee, safety should always be your number one priority. And one of the best ways to ensure safety in the workplace is by following a safe work method statement (SWMS). But what are the risks of not following a SWMS? Let’s dive in.
First and foremost, not following a SWMS can put people’s lives in danger. Whether you’re working with heavy machinery, hazardous chemicals, or even just working at heights, there are inherent risks involved. And if you don’t have a SWMS in place, you’re essentially rolling the dice on whether or not someone will get hurt. And let me tell you, that’s not a game you wanna play.
Aside from the obvious risk of injury or death, not following a SWMS can also lead to legal repercussions. Workplace health and safety laws exist for a reason, and if you’re not abiding by them, you could be facing some serious fines or even criminal charges. And trust me, I’ve seen it happen. It’s not pretty.
Another risk of not following a SWMS is the potential for damage to equipment or property. If you’re not following the proper procedures, you could easily damage expensive machinery, tools, or even the building itself. And that can lead to some serious financial consequences. Not to mention the fact that it could lead to downtime, which means lost productivity and revenue.
But perhaps one of the biggest risks of not following a SWMS is the impact it can have on your reputation. If you’re known for being unsafe or not following proper procedures, people will start to take notice. And that can lead to lost business, lost opportunities, and even lost partnerships. On the other hand, if you’re known for prioritising safety and following a SWMS, people will take notice of that too. And that can lead to a reputation as a reliable, trustworthy business.
So, what can you do to ensure that you’re following a SWMS? Well, the first step is to actually create one. A SWMS outlines the steps that need to be taken to ensure safety in the workplace. It should be specific to your business and the types of work that you’re doing. And it should be regularly reviewed and updated as needed.
Once you have a SWMS in place, it’s important to make sure that everyone in the workplace is trained on it. This means not only reading it, but also understanding it and knowing how to implement it. This should be done on an ongoing basis, as new employees come on board or as new procedures are put in place.
And perhaps most importantly, you need to lead by example. If you’re not following the SWMS, why would anyone else? As a business owner or manager, it’s up to you to set the tone for safety in the workplace. Make it clear that safety is a top priority, and hold people accountable when they’re not following the SWMS.
In conclusion, not following a SWMS can have serious consequences. It can put people’s lives in danger, lead to legal repercussions, cause damage to equipment or property, and damage your reputation. But by following a SWMS, you can ensure that you’re doing everything in your power to keep people safe, avoid legal trouble, protect your assets, and build a positive reputation. So, make sure you take the time to create a SWMS, train your employees on it, and lead by example. Trust me, it’s worth it.
