AJ2025 Commitment
AJ2025 is committed to ensuring health and safety is seen as the presence of positives rather than the absence of negatives. In this capacity, AJ2025 has implemented a management plan to support team leaders and volunteers in delivering safe and productive work and activities.
We understand that people create success far more often than they are involved in failure. So, it is paramount that we recognise the difference between work as done and work as planned to identify areas for improvement.
We will further commit to:
- Understanding and complying with our legal and client requirements,
- Knowing, understanding and mitigating our health and safety risks,
- Use workplace experiences as a source of learning,
- Ensuring that our people are integral to health and safety management decisions.
AJ2025 understands that an essential part of ensuring the success of health and safety management is providing a culture of trust and empowering our people to raise concerns or ideas that may continue to improve our practices.
Risk Management
AJ2025 has identified and documented the risks that could impact the ongoing health and safety of all aspects of the event. Processes have been developed to achieve the values of Scouting while minimising exposure to the risks.
Processes to manage risks should:
- Give assurance that health and safety systems and processes can achieve their intended outcomes.
- Prevent or reduce undesired effects.
- Achieve continual improvement.
AJ2025 will adopt the Risk Management process based on ISO 31000 – Risk Management and How to Manage Work Health and Safety Risks Code of Practice (Qld) 2021.
Assurance
AJ2025 will have processes to seek assurance that AJ2025 Health and Safety requirements are in place and may include:
- Observing activities being undertaken.
- Checking activity plans.
- Reviewing activities against identified risks in risk assessments.
- Assessing procedures for alignment to the way things are done.
- In-field testing of activities.
Findings from assurance activities need to be documented so that any required improvements may be developed, communicated to all affected parties, and monitored until the improvement is successfully implemented.
