This module is to assist Officers to lead in work health and safety by working proactively and doing all that is reasonably practicable to ensure the safety of all in the workplace.
‘The due diligence requirements relate to functions that officers have control over that affect decisions and behaviour on work health and safety. These duties may therefore influence the workplace culture.
The organisational culture that can improve safety is supported by awareness or “mindfulness" and encourages engagement throughout the organisation arising from sharing information, promoting flexibility and innovation and supporting honesty and transparency through a “no blame” approach.’
