Council Solution
Quick Issues Check
“It’s not my fault – I didn’t even know there was a risk!”
A common reaction… but also a clear sign that communication, training, or oversight has failed.
Yes, most Councils have their HIGH and MEDIUM risks clearly understood and documented, with procedures in place to manage them effectively.
However, in many cases, the risks that actually lead to accidents are minor hazards that can suddenly appear for a variety of reasons – such as faulty floor coverings, overheated cables, or cracked windows.
A simple 5-minute monthly check by Managers can easily identify these issues and help eliminate them before they escalate.
It is the Managers responsibility to ensure all their staff and the Public are safe.
In reality, it's not feasible to monitor everything continuously through expensive, detailed audits.
A simple check for Managers to identify any Risks
Health & Safety Is a Shared Responsibility
Your Health & Safety department has limited resources – so it’s unrealistic to expect them to identify every risk across the Council.
They don’t have their feet on the ground in every office, refuse area, library, depot, or community centre. That’s why local managers play a critical role.
A simple 5-minute check by each manager – with findings reported directly to the H&S team – can make a huge difference.
No, this won’t eliminate the risk.
But it does identify potential risks early, allowing the H&S department to assess and act on them promptly.
Even conducting this check once a month or quarterly can provide invaluable insight to a stretched H&S team – helping prevent incidents before they happen.
Your Health & Safety team can’t do everything – but they can ensure that managers and employees are more aware, more engaged, and more involved.
Health and safety is everyone’s responsibility. The role of the H&S team is to enable, educate, and empower – not to carry the burden alone.
Encourage Managers or Supervisors to undertake a 5-minute Monthly check in their Area
Monthly Risk Check
- Are there any Risks in your Department YES / NO
- If YES – What is the Risk – Description of Risk
- How many employees could be harmed?
- Can you eliminate the Risk YES / NO
- If YES – What did you do to eliminate it.
- What is your perceived remaining Risk Level, High / Medium / Low
- Are there any More Risks YES / N
If a manager has a smart phone, reporting issues while walking around their area is now easier than ever.
Instead of making a phone call or sending an email, they can simply log in to the system and report an issue directly, assigning a priority level.
This automatically:
- Sends an email alert to the Health & Safety department
- Updates the Risk Management system with the report date and details of the issue
This streamlined process helps ensure that risks are identified and addressed quickly, with minimal effort.
