A Situation Analysis
Conclusions Of The Longford
Royal Commission (1999)
Headed by former High Court judge Daryl Dawson
1. The ultimate cause was the failure of Esso to
equip its employees with appropriate knowledge to
deal with the events that occurred.
- Not only did Esso fail to impart its knowledge
to its employees, but it failed to make the necessary
information in the form of appropriate operating
procedures.
- Lack of knowledge of operators and supervisors
was directly attributable to a deficiency in their
initial or subsequent training.
2. Esso breached the Occupational Health and Safety
Act by failing to maintain a working environment safe
and without risks to health.
3. The reduction of supervision at Longford, including
the transfer of engineers to Melbourne, necessarily
meant a reduction in the amount and quality of the
supervision of operations.
- The Longford Royal Commission (1999)
The success of an OHSMS depends on commitment from
all levels and functions within an organisation, especially
from senior management.
An effective OHSMS can assist an organisation to:
- Set out OHS Policy and Objectives.
- Establish, assess and review the effectiveness
of procedures
- Achieve conformance with OHS Policy and Objectives
- Demonstrate such conformance to others
- The aim is to achieve the highest levels of OHS
performance through systematic elimination and reduction
of workplace risks.
