Directions:
1. Using the Hazard Identification Checklist on the next page (Appendix2), conduct a safety audit/inspection of
an Australian workplace and identify and record a minimum of three hazards. If you cannot access an
Australian workplace, conduct a safety audit/inspection of your classroom.

2. Consult with at least two (2) colleagues to seek feedback and further information as to how you can improve
on your identified risks and recommended solutions /improvements. You must record this consultation in a
short video (maximum 5 minutes’ duration) and upload the video into Moodle as part of your assessment.
3. Develop presentation slides based on the audit you conducted your consultation. Ensure you include:
 the hazard you observed
 specific examples or causes of the hazard
 potential risks associated with the hazard
 the consultation undertaken and its outcome
 solutions/improvements for the hazard
 the importance of consultation in managing hazards and risks
 organisational procedures for consultation
4. Provide options for safety training to be conducted to manage the hazards you identified; consider the costs
to the enterprise. Include your training options in your slides including your cost estimates for the training
you recommend. Note: You will not be required to deliver the presentation for this assessment task.
