Workplace Health and Safety Blog Introduction

Greetings to all employees of Navitas Professional Services,

As you all know health and safety concern is a big deal in every industry now and that includes us. So here we are, taking the proactive approach to ensure that Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) is a real thing in our organisation.

The blog will have daily posts about news or information on WHS, changes to WHS policies within our organisation or anything that related to WHS. We encourage all of our employees to participate in this blog by any method that you are comfortable with either by posting (just shoot us an email including the post you want to make) or commenting. 

So, what is Workplace Health and Safety? If you are working with us then we expect you to know the answer.

"Workplace Health and Safety (WHS), often referred to as Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) involves the assessment and mitigation of risks that may impact the health, safety or welfare of those in your workplace. This may include the health and safety of your customers, employees, visitors, contractors, volunteers and suppliers." - Australian Government for Business 


This means as part of our responsibilities, we need to ensure that everyone involved in our workplace stay safe without any harm to their physical or psychological health. We, however, need you to take part in ensuring your own as well as everyone's safety and participating in this blog is one of the ways. What you can do include but not limited to:
  • work safely to ensure your own health and safety
  • make sure your work or actions do not cause any harm or injury to others
  • follow our safety instructions for each and every task
  • take care of your provided PPE as instructed, report any unsual signs of the equipment
  • report any hazards or injuries to your managers or supervisors
  • participate in this blog by posting or commenting strictly related to WHS, feel free to mention or discuss on the posted matters.
We hope this blog can serve as a reminder and a place for you to find resources about things related to WHS. Have fun and stay safe!
