INTRODUCTION

0.1 Background — The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999¹

As required by Regulation 3 of The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, employers must make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks to the health and safety of their employees to which they are exposed whilst they are at work; and the risks to the health and safety of persons not in his employment arising out of or in connection with the conduct by him of his undertaking.

Any assessment must be reviewed if:

• there is reason to suspect that it is no longer valid; or
• there has been a significant change in the matters to which it relates; and whereas a result of any such review changes to an assessment are required, the employer or self-employed person concerned shall make them

Where the employer employs five or more employees, they must record the significant² findings of the assessment; and any group of employees identified by it as being especially at risk.

0.2 Aim of the Mumbles Rugby Club (MRFC) OH&S management system³

The purpose of an OH&S management system is to provide a framework for managing OH&S risks and opportunities. The aim and intended outcomes of the OH&S management system are to prevent work-related injury and ill health to workers and to provide safe and healthy workplaces; consequently, it is critically important for Mumbles RFC to eliminate hazards and minimize OH&S risks by taking effective preventive and protective measures.

When these measures are applied through a OH&S management system, they improve its OH&S performance. An OH&S management system can be more effective and efficient when taking early action to address opportunities for improvement of OH&S performance.

 

 

 

Implementing an OH&S management system enables MRFC to:

1. manage OH&S risks and improve its OH&S performance
2. fulfil its legal requirements and other requirements.

0.3 Success factors

The implementation of an OH&S management system was a strategic and operational decision for Fairyhill. The success of the OH&S management system depends on leadership, commitment and participation from all levels and functions of the organisation.
