BY THE INDUSTRY, FOR THE INDUSTRY PAGE | 4
BACKGROUND
The Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills
Development (MLITSD) introduced the integrated risk
management methodology in 2013 to prevent injuries and illnesses
and enhance workplace safety.
The methodology is designed to bring experts together, including
equal representation from workers and management, to gain a
comprehensive understanding of health and safety concerns and
to determine effective solutions for the industry. There are two
steps to this process:
i. a risk assessment workshop to identify the top occupational
health and safety risks to workers in the industry
ii. a root cause analysis workshop to determine the underlying
causal factors of the top identified risk
The goal of these workshops is to identify, evaluate, and address
potential hazards and their underlying causes. This proactive
approach gives subject matter experts in the industry a voice and
opportunity to improve health and safety for the industry.
