Compliance is an integral part of all business operations, regardless of the industry. Ensuring effective compliance within your business means that your organisation is and remains compliant with relevant legislation, regulations and guidelines. Compliance is important as it will ensure your business continues to operate safely, and that you and your workers don't receive any nasty fines or penalties.
Compliance is an ongoing process that needs to be monitored and regularly reviewed to ensure your business remains compliant with ever changing laws.
Implementing an effective compliance system can not only help your business remain compliant with relevant legislation and regulations, it can also bolster your company’s reputation and help attract new business opportunities.
No matter the systems that are in place, all organisations have the risk of receiving compliance violations, these can result in fines, penalties, lawsuits and more. However, having an effective compliance system can demonstrate that your organisation is trying to do the right thing. Implemented systems can help with any investigations undertaken, reduce the time and resources spent responding to the regulators’ inquiries and may lead to lesser fines or penalties.
Organisations with effective compliance systems in place also have a higher chance of winning contracts and securing work. Companies look to establish contracts with businesses that have a good safety record and have the procedures in place to ensure the safety and well being of all employees and other persons on their worksites. An effective compliance system helps to create safety culture and awareness within your organisation, this in turn can help reduce hazards and risks, resulting in a workplace that is less likely to have incidents and accidents on site.
