Key reasons to implement myosh for your local governement safety management system today

Deepen behavioural safety, awareness, and competence

Ensure that every council employee is equipped with the knowledge necessary for safe operations. Address this by:

  • Utilising a comprehensive training matrix to track qualifications across diverse council roles.
  • Streamlining inductions with Online Learning—ensuring staff, volunteers, and contractors are fit for work and fully compliant.

Streamline contractor and volunteer management

Local governments rely heavily on contractors and volunteers to serve the community. Enhance compliance by:

  • Streamlining your contractor pre-qualification, SWMS approvals, and insurance tracking.
  • Ensuring that every third-party worker operating on council property meets your stringent safety standards before they step on site.

Tailor your safety management framework across diverse departments

  • Develop a safety management framework that aligns with your council's wide-ranging operational needs, from indoor administration to heavy public works.
  • Integrate sustainability and community safety practices into daily operations.
  • Codify corporate policies into actionable protocols and bin the physical paperwork.

Advance planning and performance monitoring

Setting tangible health and safety objectives across an entire municipality can be challenging to quantify. Rectify this with tools that:

  • Set clear, measurable goals tailored to your council.
  • Facilitate real-time performance tracking and review for your executive team and elected officials.
  • Ensure continuous improvement in safety outcomes across the municipality.

Elevate systems of work and emergency preparedness

  • Streamline the development and application of SOPs and SWMSs, ensuring clear guidelines are in place for all high-risk council operations like roadworks or waste collection.
  • Enhance incident reporting to not only respond to staff and public incidents but prevent their recurrence through effective corrective action management.

Strengthen leadership and ensure accountability

Keeping up with complex WHS laws is critical for public entities. Achieve this with user-friendly tools that:

  • Clarify roles and accountabilities through a digital platform.
  • Ensure each team member—whether a depot manager, librarian, or outdoor worker—knows their safety responsibilities and only sees what's relevant to their department.

Optimise operational risk management

Adjusting to changes in community infrastructure and effectively managing associated risks is crucial. Support this with:

  • Comprehensive risk assessment tools and workplace inspection capabilities.
  • Real-time dashboard visualisations that improve the oversight of public spaces, leisure centres, and worksites.
  • Proactive risk mitigation strategies built into daily council operations.
