This consultation and communication policy aims to promote effective communication and collaboration among employees, stakeholders and consultants.
The policy outlines the business’s nature of consultation and communication, which can include:
- identifying hazards
- holding regular toolbox meetings
- consultation with a health and safety representative, and
- election of workgroups or H&S staff.
A consultation and communication policy is important for businesses as it helps to build trust and strengthen relationships by facilitating and identifying emerging issues and opportunities. It can also improve decision making, innovation and performance.
