Synergy Online Due diligence Questionnaire
Due diligence is demonstrated by your actions in the workplace before an incident occurs
Consider the following situation:
You are awakened at 4 a.m. by a call from the Operations Manager at your workplace. A piece of machinery has collapsed, killing a worker. As Maintenance Manager you are required to answer a few questions from the investigating Occupational Health and Safety Officer. Sometime later the investigating officer issues her report, saying the equipment collapsed because it was poorly maintained. You and the company are charged under the Occupational Health and Safety Act with failing to do everything reasonably practicable to protect the health and safety of workers.
There is no general 12-step program that will convert a poor health and safety performer into a star. Due diligence is as much a culture and way of doing business as it is a legal defense.
Companies with managers and workers that always ask themselves "Have I done everything reasonably practicable to make my workplace safe?" before they do their work will always outperform those that do not.
