This paper outlines the experience of the establishment of an Occupational Health and Safety Committee at the Canterbury Hospital and Area Health Service and its achievements over the past two years. As a priority the committee members reviewed and refined safety reporting systems. The committee also considered the need to complement retrospective reporting with a proactive hazard prevention program. A system of departmental inspections was introduced in order to meet this perceived need. Following identification of hazards, education programmes and control strategies were developed to minimise risks. These strategies included some very innovative approaches to perennial problems.
本文概述了坎特伯雷医院及地区卫生服务中心设立职业健康与安全委员会的经历及其在过去两年取得的成就。委员会成员首先审查并完善了安全报告系统。委员会还考虑需要通过积极的危害预防计划来补充回顾性报告。为满足这一已认识到的需求，引入了部门检查制度。在识别出危害后，制定了教育计划和控制策略以将风险降至最低。这些策略包括针对长期存在问题的一些非常创新的方法。
