I AM WAITING FOR THIS WEDNESDAY WHETHER THE CHEF WILL GIVE US THE ANSWER

FOR THIS UNIT OR NOT OTHERWISE I’M GONNA STICK WITH THIS ANSWER. 😉

ACTIVITY 1

I AM UNSURE OF ANSWER NUMBER 3 , 4 & 8 ☹.

1.

Ø Self-designed tools 
Ø Tools and templates developed: 
- by external consultancy services 
- by industry associations for use by member businesses 
- for public use and found within business management publications, including those developed by work health
and safety government regulators

2.

Ø Physical environment – these types of hazards have the potential to cause harm without the need for direct
physical contact. They include radiation, extreme temperature, and exposure to high levels of noise

Ø Plant – these types of hazards are associated with the use of machinery, equipment and appliances in the
workplace. There will be a risk of injury if such items aren’t used responsibly, in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions

Ø Work practice – these types of hazards are associated with the tasks that employees perform in your
workplace. Risks may involve the irresponsible use of machinery, failing to use the appropriate PPE, and lifting
heavy objects 

Ø Security issue – these hazards are associated with the personal security of employees and others in the
workplace. Site security breaches, workplace violence, and abuse represent risk

ACTIVITY 2

I AM UNSURE OF NUMBER 2, 3?? , 4, 5 (VERY CONFUSING?), 6??

1.

A risk assessment should be completed when:

Ø There is uncertainty about how a hazard may result in injury or illness 
Ø The work activity involves a number of different hazards and there is a lack of understanding about how the
hazards may interact with each other to produce new or greater risks
 Ø Changes at the workplace occur that may impact on the effectiveness of control measures.

2.
Ø Codes of practice 
Ø Standards 
Ø Guidelines
Ø Checklists

3.

You have an important point to  Say something like ‘I’d like to

make but the others are not add something here’ or ‘may I say
involving you something please?’ – this will get
people’s attention and make it
clear that you are eager to
contribute
You keep trying to make Have reasons or evidence to
suggestions, but one person in the support the points you are
group just talks over you all the making. Make sure that you are
time clear about the points that you
want to make and make sure that
they are relevant to the discussion
Whenever you say something, the  wait till they have finished
conversation just moves on as if speaking and then carry on with
you hadn’t spoken at all what you were saying (e.g. ‘ as I
was saying before,.....)
You are never allowed to finish  politely ask them to wait until
making your point as someone you have finished making your
always interrupts you point (e.g. please may I finish
what I was saying?’

4.

-First identify the risks related to the situation

-Then discuss the situation with the colleague

-Taking the final decision which most suits the situation to solve the risk

6.

Ø  Drawers on a filing cabinet being left open

Clean and organize the things inside , then close it.
Ø  Wet floor in the hotel foyer  after cleaning
Put the Wet floor sign.
Ø  Hot drinks dispenser discharges steam when empty
Put the 'Do not touch' sign.
Ø  Food debris on the floor in kitchen
Clean it with dust pan and chuck it in the bin.
Ø  Flies accessing food preparation areas
Clean the areas and sanitize it.

7.

It is essential to record workplace hazards, whether you have identified them individually or with others. It is a
legal requirement to document all risk management activity. The recording of such activity also makes it easier
to escalate to the next stage of risk management because all hazards have the potential to cause different types
and severities of harm, ranging from minor discomfort, to a serious injury or death.
ACTIVITY 3

I AM UNSURE OF NUMBER 3, 5

1.

The involvement of others is particularly important when planning the change of working practices. You might
have identified the need to change the way that a specific procedure is carried out. It would be wise to invite the
people who usually follow this procedure comment on any potential changes. They are most qualified to
forecast any possible pitfalls or suggest improvements to ways of working. If their input is not sought then there
is a danger that they will not fully comply with any subsequent changes. It is advisable to encourage the sharing
ideas and commitment at an early stage.

2.

The way to do this is to:

·       Outline the problem (i.e. the risks and the need for management)
·       Ask individuals to generate as many ideas as possible for eliminating or controlling the risk
·       Write every contribution down
·       Avoid judging the contributions at this stage – the important thing is to get as many ideas as possible
(seemingly ridiculous ideas have a habit of triggering more practical ideas)
·       Prompt others’ thinking if necessary (e.g. ‘let’s look at this from the point of view of X...’)
·       When the ideas have been exhausted, review the list and highlight ideas which merit further discussion.
Rule out any that are not workable/too costly/etc.
·       Focus on the short list and discuss how each might work in practice, until workable solutions can be agreed

3.

They'll become disengaged, even finding their way to your competitors. That's not going to help anyone and it
can affect the team work and the business.

4.

Ways of eliminating or controlling risk include: 

Ø Substituting a system of work or equipment with something safer 
Ø Isolating the hazard 
Ø Introducing engineering controls 
Ø Adopting administrative controls 
Ø Using personal protective equipment 
Ø Implementing combined control methods to minimise risk.

5.

The scenario of the wet kitchen floor and propose the following actions: 

Ø Cleaning the floor only when there are no other personnel using the kitchen until the floor is dry 
Ø Cleaning the kitchen floor in zones, allowing each area to dry before use 
Ø Putting cones/warning signs in the areas which have been recently cleaned 
Ø Using floor cleaning equipment which ensures that the floor dries in minimal time 
Ø Replacing the floor with a quick-drying surface, etc.
