IXP3's Occupational Health & Safety Statement
All IxP3 staff are encouraged to achieve extraordinary outcomes. This is accomplished through a variety of means and OH&S plays a key role in our delivery. We strive to provide an office environment which minimizes hazardous conditions such as chemicals, heavy machinery or power sources. Our pro active approach to the prevention of staff injury and illness ensures our continued success and therefore the success of our valued clients. Therefore, we urge our staff to suggest ways of improving their workplace safety.
IxP3 is pro active in ensuring that any injury or illness related threat is immediately managed by the officers of the company. Studies have shown that recuperating employees who are given a light workload and allowed to interact with their workmates often have a far quicker and better recovery than otherwise. During recuperation, IxP3 provides office computer connectivity to the homes of staff. Those staff who might have some temporary illness or injury but are willing to work are able to continue to be employed and fulfilled in their work rather than being bored at home or losing touch with their workmates and clients. We make a great effort to return staff to work as soon as practicable even if a full recovery has not been completed. This strategy invariably leads to greater cooperation, better morale, and greater productivity.
At IxP3 health and safety management is the province not just of the officers of IxP3 but also that of every single staff member. We ensure that individuals, teams and organisations within IxP3 maintain OH&S standards and make an effort to support the health and safety of all of our staff. The layout and structure of our office environment is a key element of our OH&S policy and appropriate office design values are constantly being incorporated into our workplace.
IxP3 is aware of its compliance requirements under the Victorian Occupational Health and Safety Act 1985, its subordinate regulations and codes of practice, including the regulations for:
- Manual handling
- Plant safety
- Confined spaces
- The new Occupational Health and Safety Incident Notifications Regulations 1997
We continue to work closely with clients who have special OH&S requirements at particular sites. In conjunction with our clients, IxP3 ensures that specific client OH&S processes and procedures are adhered to through co-developed induction courses and documentation. In addition, project specific OH&S risks are considered and our policies and procedures are adopted as the situation requires.
