Job Connect has a duty of care to see that all candidates obtain a safe job role where OH&S requirements are priority. We assist to ensure our employers’ businesses are OH&S compliant with regularly assessment throughout the candidate’s placement.
If the workplace is high-risk we will identify any hazards (for example plant, equipment, machinery, manual handling loads, etc). We will also make sure that personal protective equipment (PPE) is used where required. Working with the employer, Job Connect will identify the risks/hazards and make recommendations on actions to be taken to minimise them before the candidate commences their work on site.
Job Connect will work though work conditions for the candidate to manage risks. For example, if the employer is unable to provide health and safety policies, the recruiter will suggest to the employer that they provide these prior to starting the candidate or possibly decide not to place the prospective candidate for the job. Current documentation, such as a Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS), Job Safety Analysis (JSA), Take 5’s or a Hazard Register, provides evidence of the employer’s commitment to safety.
At Job Connect we pride ourselves on our commitment to safety and quality. This is for both our employers and candidates. We ensure that our professional staff perform a site walk through for every new employer.
Before commencement of a new employer we dedicate time to performing a site inspection and walk through. This is important as we get the opportunity to understand the role requirements, the workplace environment, safety protocols and team culture. We get to see first-hand the tasks required to perform the role so that we can identify the best possible candidate fit for your business. This also helps us attract a higher quality of candidate to reduce staff turnover and help boost business performance and productivity.
