When to use Tell Full Story

When a Story requires more detail to be gathered so the Organisation can really understand what happened, you need to use Tell Full Story in the PeopleSafe Web Application.  This process asks the User a series of questions that help get a full picture of the Safety Story.   All Full Stories go through a Review process so that you can make decisions on what needs to be done to make work safer  

It means your Organisation supports workers rights by making it easy to:   

• Have their say about the risks of the work and how you make work safer
• Speak up when things are risky 
• Bring up and Stop or refuse dangerous work

It also helps workers understand:

• They are the eyes and ears of your business. Telling your business about your ideas, experiences or concerns and those of your fellow workers helps keep you and others safe.  
• Their employment or contract can’t be terminated if you report or act on a health and safety concern. It’s against the law for anyone to discriminate or take other negative steps against you because you’ve spoken up about health and safety at work. 
• They have the right to stop work, or refuse to carry out work, if you believe that doing the work would expose you, or anyone else, to a serious health or safety risk. If you have stopped work, you need to let your manager know as soon as possible. 

It provides the Organisation with simple ways to demonstrate it has given reasonable opportunities for workers to express their views and contribute to decision making on health and safety at work. This includes the processes and communication used when making decisions about: 

• Health monitoring 
• General conditions at your workplace 
• Information and training for workers.
