Risk Assess - Legal Issue with signing
Posted: 18 May 2016, 14:23
A teacher brought to our attention that when we all sign the RiskAssess documents - teachers and Laboratory personnel - we are signing and committing ourselves legally to this statement:
I have assessed the risks associated with performing this experiment in the classroom on the basis of likelihood and
consequences using the School's risk matrix, according to International Organization for Standardization Standard ISO
31000:2009 and the Risk Management Guidelines, HB 436:2013.
Have any of you ever sighted and read the two standards in this statement?
ISO 31000:2009 AND HB 436:2013 ?
How do we know when we sign it that the experiment actually is compliant to both of those standards?
Where do we stand - legally - if we have signed for something that is not compliant and there is an issue.?
Our school does not have a copy - neither does head office.
Personal copies of each are $118.12,and 214.81 respectively
Network/cut/paste copies are 220.63, and 408.14 respectively.
I have alerted HOD and it is HIS problem, but until this is resolved, I do not intend signing any more RiskAssess documents.
