WHS-Linking Quality & Safety

Overview

Every organisation has some form of quality management/assurance system to manage its customer needs. Customer needs may range from government funding requirements, to fee-paying client demands. A quality system ensures products and services remain consistent and relevant.

Why is quality often linked to safety?

Both require procedures and systems. The same procedures that ensure you meet your customers’ needs can incorporate safety requirements to protect your workers. Linking safety and quality can cement your internal processes and procedures, and engage your workforce to take safety seriously.
