Workplace Health and Safety Newsletter - March 2010
At Dove Personnel we are committed to offering a safe workplace and healthy environment for all of our candidates. Our fully qualified WHS Officer conducts regular assessments to ensure your business complies with relevant legislation, advisory standards and industry codes of practice.
Our service assists our clients in ensuring suitable company policies and procedures are in place as well as offering constructive advice on how to comply with the current legislations and maintain WHS obligations.
Recommendations for amendments to existing hazards, unsafe or unsatisfactory WH&S practices with a fresh set of eyes are part of our service and with that we can suggest appropriate implementation plans.
Our aim is to work with organisations to identify, develop and implement effective and sustainable improvement strategies for optimal WH&S performance and all of this is of no extra cost.
