    The document outlines barriers to healthy and safe work across three categories: working environment and equipment, managing systems, and people. Some key barriers include lack of proper tools, resources, training, supervision, accountability and incentives. Other barriers are poor communication, lack of leadership, non-compliance with procedures, productivity focus over safety, and group pressures. The document then provides suggestions to address these barriers, such as ensuring the right tools and skills training, positive safety culture and leadership, integrated safety systems, clear roles and responsibilities, and promotion of reporting culture.

    ADDRESSING
    WHS BARRIERS

    WORKING ENVIRONMENT AND EQUIPMENT


    People and tools that support me working safely.
    It’s also about having some control over how I work and the way I use tools (the safety choices I make).

    > Having the tools and resources that are right for the job
    > Having an adequate level of supervision for worker skill level
    > Having the necessary skills, information and training on equipment and processes
    > Awareness of risks in the workplace
    > Create a positive and just culture and climate (including psychosocial environment, team focus, and
    consultation)
    > Work design supports healthy work (also consider removing work pressure, deadlines, and KPI’s that
    encourage poor safety outcomes)
    > Use group pressure to support a positive safety culture

    MANAGING SYSTEMS
    PCBU responsible for providing the structure within which I work.
    It’s also about how I support what is provided for my health and safety.

    > Design safety messages to be simple and easily understood


    > Leadership supports and models expected behaviours
    > Safety systems that are integral to the work processes are fully costed, checked and tested
    > Active collection of data and analysis (Remove paper based systems of data collection)
    > Assigned responsibility and accountability at all levels
    > Job design aligned to health and safety not just KPI outcomes
    > Management of change is undertaken in consultation with workers
    > KPI outcomes linked to safe work environment

    PEOPLE
    People need to know “what’s in it for me?” in order to effect change.
    It’s also about how I influence others through my behaviour, actions and leadership.

    > Safety culture supports consultation and a no blame culture


    > Social influences/ personal connections can sabotage efforts
    > Awareness and reasons for action
    > Acceptable behaviour needs defining and reinforcing
    > Understand values, beliefs and attitudes impact on good WHS
    > Regularly share good news outcomes/achievements
    > Promote a reporting culture
