A Systematic Approach to Managing Risks. Risk Management is not a recent phenomena but has been part of financial and insurance thinking for many years. Application of risk management principles to the management of workplace health and safety is a sound investment for companies seeking to improve their overall competitiveness. Health and Safety systems ensure that workplace injuries or illnesses can be controlled and kept at negligible levels through the implementation of safe work practices. This allows employers to maintain control over this area of potential loss. A strategic risk management system is one designed to ensure a planned and coordinated approach to managing health and safety risks in the workplace. Ergo Fit is aware that in busy working environments health and safety systems should not be cumbersome and difficult to implement. A key objective for Ergo Fit in developing OHS management systems is for the system to become a seamless part of the organisation’s business where OHS is accepted as part of the culture of the organisation.
