•

Incident Audits:

– All injury and medication error reports, as well as Workers’ Compensation claims, are reviewed quarterly to identify recurring issues and systemic concerns. – Detailed audit reports are presented to executive leadership and shared with relevant departments for targeted remedial action.

Feedback and Corrective Action • Employee Feedback:

– An anonymous digital feedback platform allows staff to report concerns and suggest improvements related to health and safety practices. – Regular surveys assess staff satisfaction with health and safety measures, and the results inform ongoing policy adjustments. • Corrective Action Plans: – For any identified shortcomings during audits or feedback sessions, corrective action plans are developed, with specific timelines and accountability for resolution. – Follow-up audits verify that the corrective measures are implemented effectively.
