Hospitality Industry Insurance

In the fast-paced world of workplace safety and injury management, it's important to remember that mental health matters too. As part of our commitment to WHS, we encourage our policyholders to regularly check in with their staff and ask the simple, yet powerful question: R U OK? Our dedicated case managers practice this every day—engaging with injured workers not just about their physical recovery but their mental well-being too. We know the value of those early conversations, and we’re here to support businesses in creating a workplace culture where asking "R U OK?" becomes a norm. For those who don’t ask often or haven’t asked yet, we can help. Together, we can foster healthier, safer workplaces where everyone feels supported and ask “R U OK Any day”. #RUOKDay #MentalHealthMatters #WorkplaceWellbeing #WHS #SafetyFirst #SupportiveWorkplaces #HospitalityIndustryInsurance

It is crucial that Employers implement comprehensive safety systems and comply with the relevant WHS laws. The importance of safety and the duty to be proactive in ensuring compliance with WHS duties should be emphasised to officers within the organisation, as well as the personal repercussions the industrial manslaughter offence may have on them in the case of a worker’s death. To read more on the update for NSW’s Industrial Manslaughter law please view the HII Safety Blast here: https://lnkd.in/gBshXBVP As always, our people are here to help.

Electricity is a powerful force that can be both beneficial and hazardous. Electrical safety hazards can cause serious injuries, burns and death which can have a devastating effect on your venue and individuals. These hazards can impact your staff, contractors and guests. In the event you have an electrical safety incident (electric shock, electrical fire, electrocution) the PCBU is required to notify SafeWork NSW as soon as possible.

Congratulations to the 2024 NSW Accommodation Awards for Excellence - Metropolitan Deluxe Hotel of the Year Finalists.

No matter your industry or business size, all employers are required by law to have a Return to Work (RTW) program. This program outlines your procedures for handling work related injuries or illnesses. Now is a good time to review your RTW program to ensure it still meets the needs of your business. Or if you need help getting started, you can view our customisable RTW program here. https://lnkd.in/gNX2mQJN #RTW #HII #HospitalityIndustryInsurance #ReturntoWork

When a medical emergency or injury takes place, whether it is an employee or patron, knowing what to do and being able to react quickly can limit the severity of the health scare or injury. Your workplace must provide first aid equipment, first aid facilities and a trained first aid officer to respond rapidly and appropriately in the event a person/s requires first aid intervention. What this would look like for your workplace will vary according to the size of your workplace, location, proximity to hospitals and other health services. For more information on key things to consider and where to start please read more in our latest Safety Blast located here: https://lnkd.in/gxn9rqBX As always the HII team are available to answer any questions or concerns. #HospitalityIndustryInsurance #FirstAid #SafetyBlast #HII
