The organization's approach to assessing health and safety risks is
outlined below:
The newly appointed facility managers were nominated by the MD
and directors to examine health and safety responsibilities also, which is a fine idea, but he was unqualified and inexperienced and not trained for the above-mentioned task. Workers were put in a stressful situation by being asked to complete additional targets in less time by the line managers, which is a health and safety concern in and of itself, and the organization's response was inadequate. Workers/salespeople’s were not educated regarding reporting system to notify any workplace hazards or accidents, which shows there was no culture of reporting of any problem within the organization. The director did not participate in the audit, which does not shows appreciative attitude on their part towards workers health and safety. No induction training provided to the newly appointed young trainees. The organization didn't even provide health and safety training to their employees. The risk assessment was not out dated but also general in nature, indicating that the organization took a poor strategy. The organization's senior level staff (directors) did not consider health and safety risk assessment to be one of their responsibilities. The directors questioned the need for risk assessment, claiming that the firm does not require it because employees are simply seated at desks which indicate that directors were not having enough knowledge of risks associated with the work activities within the organization. There was no suitable documentation mechanism in place to record any incident. Even filing a compensation claim was not a problem for them indicating that the organization took a poor strategy towards health and safety.
