Purpose

To describe how National Aquatic Industry Safety Objectives are determined and how action is planned and taken to meet these objectives.

Setting Objectives

During the last quarter of a financial year the National Manager - Aquatics will meet with RLSSA Risk Assessment Auditors, State and Territory member organisations, the National Aquatic Industry Committee and subject matter experts to arrange for National Aquatic Industry Strategy (NAIS) planning sessions.

The National Aquatic Industry objectives and strategies will be reviewed as well as the annual operational plans will be determined for the following financial year and will arise from consideration of;

  • Drowning Research
  • Work, Health and Safety Industry Research
  • Strategic Planning requests
  • Member / customers comments
  • Staff comments
  • Industry activities
  • Improvement Logs & Requests
  • Audit results (Internal and External)
  • Information gathered regarding conformance levels
  • Perceptions of where improvements are necessary / desired

Improvement Objectives will be set for various parts of the NAIS and will apply to the industry as a whole. They can be set in relation to RLSSA compliance, efficiency of operations, process improvement, system improvement etc. Improvement Objectives will be set in terms that can be measured and each objective is recorded in an annual operational plan and endorsed by the National Aquatic Industry Committee.

Action Plans

Each objective recorded on the annual operational Plan has a responsible person nominated.  The nominated person completes the objectives as required, and reports progress to the Australian Government, State and Territory member organisations and the National Aquatic Industry Committee via the executive officer.
