Annual Report 1999 - 2000
Occupational health and safety
The Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) Committee met at least four times during the year. The Committee includes a staff health and safety representative and at least four corporate support staff. The Committee surveyed staff on their awareness of OH&S issues and as a result was then able to hold relevant training sessions on specific OH&S issues for staff and supervisors. The Committee looked at reviewing the OH&S Plan and this will be finalised in the new year. There have been no accidents or dangerous occurrences reported.
The Commission continues to provide free and confidential counselling for staff and their families through its Employee Assistance Program. Ongoing assistance and support on OH&S and ergonomic issues is provided to new and existing staff.
