Q10: What are the legislative requirements and “duty to consult requirements” on the following:
10.a. Consulting with workers (100-150 words)
When evaluating hazards, analysing risks, and agreeing on ways to eliminate or reduce those risks, consultation is
essential. We must discuss with workers who will be affected by this choice, either directly or through their health
and safety representative, before considering how to remove or minimise hazards.
10.b. Consulting with other duty holders at the same workplace (100-150 words)
The WHS Act requires a PCBU to consult, collaborate, and coordinate efforts with all other individuals who have a
work health or safety duty in respect to the same topic. Because they are involved in the same activities or share the
same workplace, many businesses or undertakings are typically responsible for the same health and safety issues. In
these cases, each responsibility holder should exchange information to determine who is doing what and work
together in a cooperative and coordinated manner to avoid or minimise risks to the extent possible. At times, the
work activities of duty bearers may overlap and intersect. When they share a responsibility, such as a responsibility
for the health and safety of the same worker or workers, or when they are doing the same work, they must consult,
cooperate, and coordinate operations as far as is practically possible.
Q11: Explain when a PCBU must consult with workers according to WHS regulations and guidelines? (50-100 words)
Workers who perform work for the business or undertaking and are or are likely to be directly affected by a health
and safety issue must be consulted, as far as is practically practicable. When workers are likely to be or are directly

undertaking (PCBU) must engage with them.

Q12: Answer the following questions:
12.a. What is the definition of “hazardous manual tasks” according to the Work Health and Safety Regulations 2011
(WHS Regulations)
As defined by the WHS Regulations, a hazardous manual task is one that requires a person to lift, lower, push, pull,
carry, or otherwise move, hold, or restrain any person, animal, or thing and involves one or more of the following:
 force that is applied repeatedly or over a long period of time

 exposure to vibration high or abrupt force repetitive movement persistent or uncomfortable position
12.b. Provide 3 (three) examples of hazardous manual tasks in a community service sector?
 Material and equipment must be lifted and carried.

 Working at unsuitable heights
 Physical space is limited
Q13: Discuss the link between infection prevention and control and compliance with WHS legislation in your own 50-
100 words.
Infection prevention and control strives to limit the risk of patients contracting healthcare-associated infections that
may be avoided. Infectious agents are spread mostly through contact with other individual’s patients, professionals,
and visitors while providing health care. A good infection prevention and control programme necessitates the early
identification of people who are infected or colonised, or who have risk factors for infection. This could be in regard
to a local, national, or global organism, in which the necessity to put in place proper precautions to prevent the
infectious agent from spreading to other people is critical.
Q14: What are the five (5) common types of safety hazards in the business service sector and how can you minimise
them? (50-100 words)
 Falls and Falling Objects.

 Chemical Exposure.
 Fire Hazards.
 Electrical Hazards.
 Repetitive Motion Injury
Turn off the electricity. When working with any electrical item, there is one thing to keep in mind. It should be
turned off. If push the off button, don't assume the power is turned off. Turn off the electricity at the source, then
check to see if it's still off.
Others should be informed. Notify everyone in the vicinity if any electrical equipment is being repaired. Proper
communication helps to reduce the chances of reenergizing the equipment at an inconvenient moment.
Lockout is a term that refers to the process of locking (LOTO). Make sure that everybody who works on electrical
equipment understands how to lock out and tag out.
Q15: Explain the importance of each of the following factors in a compliant WHS policy framework in your own 30-50
words (for each):
Factors Explanation
hazard, incident and injury

Incident reporting can serve as a "warning" to management, allowing them to
reporting spot potential flaws or issue areas that need to be addressed. Most incident
report forms identify the barriers that keep bad conditions from becoming a
catastrophic accident or disaster.
hazard identification, risk We can use hazard identification and risk assessment to recognize and
assessment and control manage potential hazards in the workplace. Make employees aware of the
issue and utilise it as a training tool. Set risk management guidelines based on
industry best practises and legal requirements.
human resources policies and Human Resources Policies and Procedures are critical in SMEs because they
procedures give structure, control, uniformity, fairness, and reasonability. They also
ensure that employment laws are followed and that employees are aware of
their responsibilities and the Company's expectations.
consultation and participation Workers who participate in health and safety consultation have a favourable
impact on management choices in the workplace because a larger pool of
ideas regarding workplace concerns is gathered. Better comprehension of
decisions leads to increased worker commitment to health and safety.
incident investigation and Information on accidents, incidents, and illness can be utilised to assist in risk
record-keeping assessment and the development of remedies to possible hazards. Any
reportable death, injury, occupational disease, or risky occurrence helps to
avoid injuries and ill health, as well as limit expenses from accidental loss.
quality system documentation The documentation of a quality system aids in the coordination and direction
of an organization's actions to meet customer and regulatory requirements
while also improving its effectiveness and efficiency.
designated person/s for raising To raise the issue with the health and safety representative.
issues
workplace support services Workers have access to a specialist who can help them deal with their anxiety
or depression, which allows them to stay at work or return to work sooner
than if they didn't have access to help. Reducing lost productivity has a direct
impact on profit margins in the workplace.
use of personal protective PPE is crucial because it protects employees from potential health and safety
equipment (PPE) hazards and provides additional protection in the case of an accident or
exposure to the elements.
emergency procedures Emergency procedure encourages people to be more mindful of their

surroundings. It also serves as a safeguard against fatalities and injuries.
Acceleration of the organization's return to normal activities, as well as the
reduction of damage to the structure, inventory, and equipment.
Q16: Describe each of the following principles of hazard and risk management and how these can be applied in the
workplace in your own 50-100 words:
16.a. risk analysis
An emergency plan also encourages people to be more mindful of their surroundings. It also serves as a safeguard
against fatalities and injuries. Acceleration of the organization's return to normal activities, as well as the reduction
of damage to the structure, inventory, and equipment.
16.b. hazard identification procedures
Identify and categorise hazards and risk factors that have the potential to damage people. Analyse and assess the
risk posed by that hazard. Determine the best solutions to eliminate the hazard or manage the risk if it can't be
avoided.
16.c. hierarchy of control and its application
The hierarchy of control is a risk management system for the workplace. The hierarchy of control is a step-by-step
technique to removing or reducing risks, ranking risk controls from the highest level of protection and reliability to
the lowest and least dependable level of protection.
16.d. principles of risk assessment
Risk identification, risk analysis, risk control, risk finance, and claims management are the five core risk management
principles that can be applied to almost any circumstance or problem. Until examples are brought to light, one does
not understand how frequently these ideas are implemented in daily life.
16.e. examples of health and safety benchmarks
Benchmarking for health and safety is a structured process in which an organisation compares its health and safety
processes and performance to that of others to learn how to reduce accidents and illness, enhance compliance with
health and safety laws, and reduce compliance costs.
16.f. principles of safe design processes
The integration of hazard detection and risk assessment approaches early in the design process to eliminate or
reduce the risks of injury throughout the life of the product being developed is defined as safe design.
Q17: What are the six (6) benefits of effective record keeping and WHS documentation procedures?
Keeping records aids in the implementation of an effective health and safety management system in the workplace.
Hazards and dangers can be identified and controlled before an incident that could result in harm or disease.
Q18: What are the four (4) common types of WHS documentation?
 WHS Policy
 Psychological Health & Wellbeing Policy
 WHS Objectives and Targets
 WHS Responsibility Statement
Q19: How would you raise a health and safety issue with designated persons in the workplace? List three (3) ways.
 Inspect workplace
 Plan for improving health and safety
 Train employees about health and safety issue

Q20: Write the name of correct safe design principle for the following explanations (Reference: Guidance of the
principles of safe design for work (May 2006), Australian Safety and Compensation Council, Canberra):
a. All products, processes and tasks must be systematically assessed for risk. This involves identifying hazards,
assessing risk and putting in place risk controls to eliminate or control that risk.
Systematic risk management
b. There must be effective communication and documentation of all design and risk control information
between all persons involved. This applies through the whole lifecycle of the product/process.
Information transfer
c. The people who have the decision-making power to design processes, facilities and so on must be able to
promote their safe with the people at the coal face. Where there are several people involved in the design
process, there must be collaboration between them.
Safe design knowledge and capability
d. Every product has a lifecycle – for example children’s play equipment starts as a concept, then it is designed,
manufactured, supplied and installed, used, maintained, decommissioned and disposed of. Hazards must be
identified and controlled as early in the lifecycle as possible. For example, it is better to fix up a weak point
in the equipment frame during the design phase than to strengthen it after it has been made.
Product life cycle
e. The people who are in control of designing a process or product must have the knowledge and capability to
do this safely. If the knowledge or capability are not held they must be acquired.
Persons with control
Q21: Write down five (5) ways a consultation about WHS issues may take place in an organisation?
 Creating committees for health and safety.

 Representatives for Health and Safety are elected (HSRs)
 Organizing 'Tool Box' meetings on a regular basis.
 Meetings with the staff on a regular basis.
 Consult with workers
Q22: Write down three (3) potential barriers in effective evaluation and management of WHS processes for
improvement?
 Weak morale and low motivation

 Lack of leadership and management commitment
 High cost of implementation

Declaration by a WHS officer to his/her IT Manager:
Subject: REPORT ON HAZARDS ANALYSIS AND CONTROL FOR THE JURASSIC COMPUTERS STORE AND
ASSEMBLY/INSTALLATION SITE.
Sir, in view of the safety concerns of the company, (Jurassic Computers) a detailed safety audit was carried out at the
hardware store and assembly/installation area. The purpose is to identify, analyse and adopt control measures for
hazards associated with the job.
The safety audit is also meant to assess the present state of the company’s Work Health Safety and Environment
(work health and safety (WHS) and environment management system: WHS&E - MS) – Management system to bring
about improvements.
HAZARDS AND UNSAFE WORKING CONDITIONS

During the audit exercise, we identified several hazards and unsafe working conditions associated with the hardware
store and assembly/installation area project and are stated below.
1) Incomplete personal protective equipments (PPEs): Most of the workers were seen working without their
personal protective equipments because they were not given. The absence of these protective equipments
is of great risk because some injuries which would have ordinarily been prevented are left unguarded due
the absence of these equipments. The most essential required personal protective equipments (PPEs) for the
job are:
• Safety Boots
• Hand Gloves
• Splash Goggles
• Safety Glasses
• Safety Suits
• Safety Caps
• Safety Belts
2) Absence of fire emergency response personnel and facilities:
• Absence of fire extinguisher at the computer hardware store and assembly/installation site.
• There is no trained and competent fire watch on site.
• Absence of fire alarm, flash point detectors and other fire safety aids around the company premises.
3) Occupational Health hazards to the workers resulting to their exposure to adverse weather conditions:
• The direct effect of the sun rays on the workers working in building 2A and 3C (Heat Stroke and
ultraviolet exposure).
• Absence of workshop shade to prevent rain and electrical discharges that might result from thunder
strikes.
• The work site lacks a standard toilet facility; hence the workers take advantage of any available
space within the company premises for such needs. This action is very unhygienic, coupled with the
man hour lose it takes.
• Faulty air-conditioning (thermal comfort) as it has not been serviced from last two years. When it
should be done every six months.
• Poor air quality because of faulty air-conditioning unit.
• Improper lighting (as some areas are not properly and adequately have lights) which is causing
tripping hazards.
• Workstation set up that is not compliant to ergonomic standards
• Excessive workload on to the workers that cause them finding shortcuts and compromising with the
quality of the work.
4) Some of the very essential working equipments/tools are defective and in some cases absent. This has left
the workers with no option but to resort to unsafe actions.
• Absence of comprehensive scaffolds and ladder for climbing heights.
• There are no facilities for lifting heavy equipments; hence the workers resort to manual carrying
even without their PPES.
• Some of the electrical wiring and cables are old, defective and potential sources of electrical
leakage/shock.
5) Complete absence of barricades and caution signs along the River blank which happens to be very close to
the computer hardware store. In fact, the River blank is just a few meters away from the work site and is a
major safety concern, especially because most of the workers working around there are unable to swim.
6) General lack of awareness to safety, good housekeeping and contingency management.

HAZARDS ASSESSMENT AND CONSEQUENCE
Having identified some of the hazards and unsafe conditions associated with the computer hardware store and
assembly/installation store job, we also need to analyse the consequence in order to understand and avert the
impending contingencies that might arise.
When we place the frequency level of hazards and unsafe conditions around the work area, against the ISO1400 risk
assessment matrix, there is a very high probability of an impending undesired occurrence (accident). The potential
damage that might result to life, assets, environment and reputation of the company is such that cannot be over
looked. The situation is one that calls for immediate response by management to ensure that appropriate measures
are taken to control the above risk factors to “as law as reasonably practicable” (ALARP).
You are now required to complete the following activities:
1) Fill the attached workplace risk assessment form. (Appendix 1 and 2)

2) Complete the recommendations for hazard analysis and control report (Appendix 3)
Part B: Consultation and participation activity
In this assessment task, you are required to conduct a meeting with IT Manager and IT Officer. The role of duty holders i.e.

Report
Identify Hazards
Identify chemical hazards – Examine SDSs and product labels to discover compounds in workplace with low
exposure limits, are very volatile, or are utilised in large amounts or in poorly ventilated areas. Identify
activities that could expose to chemicals on skin.
Identify physical hazards – Identify any sources of radiation, excessive noise (areas where must raise voice to
be heard by others), or heightened heat (both indoors and outdoors).
Identify biological hazards – Determine whether workers are at risk of being exposed to infectious disease
sources, moulds, toxic or poisonous plants, or animal materials (fur or scat) that might cause allergic reactions
or occupational asthma.
Identify ergonomic risk factors – Examine any jobs that require heavy lifting, work over shoulder height,
repeated motions, or duties that are highly vibrational.
Conduct quantitative exposure assessments – Air sampling or direct reading equipment should be used
wherever practicable.
Review medical records- To find incidences of musculoskeletal injuries, skin irritation or dermatitis, hearing
loss, or lung disease linked to job exposures.
Risks were identified, interim control solutions were identified, and the hazards were prioritised for control.
 Consider the severity of probable effects, the possibility of an incident or exposure occurring, and the
number of workers who may be exposed when evaluating each hazard.
 Protect workers with temporary controls until more permanent solutions can be adopted.
 Prioritize the hazards such that the ones that pose the most danger are dealt with first. Employers, on
the other hand, have a continuing commitment to control and safeguard workers from all major
identified hazards.
Identify the dangers that come with emergency and out-of-the-ordinary circumstances.
 Determine foreseeable emergency scenarios and non-routine jobs, taking into account the materials
and equipment in use, as well as the facility's location. Scenarios like the ones below may be foreseen:
 Explosions and fires
 Chemical spills
 Spills of hazardous materials
 Equipment restarts after scheduled or unplanned shutdowns
 Non-routine tasks, such as infrequently performed maintenance chores, are examples of non-routine
tasks.
 Collapse of the structure
 Outbreaks of disease
 Natural disasters and weather emergencies
 Emergencies in medicine
 Violence in the workplace
Assess Risks
A risk assessment should include the following elements:
 Identifying factors that may be contributing to the risk,

 Reviewing health and safety information that is reasonably available from an authoritative source and
is relevant to the particular hazard, and
 Assessing the severity of the potential harm. This includes determining the types of
injuries/illnesses/harm/damage that can be caused by the hazard, the number of persons who have
been exposed, and the potential chain effects of exposure to the danger.
 Evaluation of the potential for a hazard to cause injury. Examining how work is accomplished, if
existing control mechanisms are in place and whether they are controlling the harm, as well as
infrequent conditions and standard operating situations are all part of this process. It's possible that a
risk's chain of occurrences will need to be evaluated.
 Estimating the likelihood of injury. As the incidence and severity of injury grows, so does the level of
risk. How often the work is conducted, under what conditions, how many persons are exposed to the
hazard, and for how long can all influence the chance of harm.
Implement additional risk controls

Level 1 Control Measures – Get Rid of the Problem
Control measures that are most effective are those that eliminate the danger and its related hazards. This can
be accomplished by eliminating the hazard or using alternative items or equipment to do so. If a danger cannot
be removed, risks can be reduced by using less stringent controls.
Level 2 Control Measures
These are used to reduce hazards and may include one or more of the following:
 Substitute the hazard: to lessen the risk or hazard, substitute a substance, method, or material.
 Isolate the hazard: keep the hazard away from the workplace or people, such as in a chemical storage
room or
-A laboratory that is only accessible to authorised personnel.
-Procedures for locking out malfunctioning equipment.
-Machine guarding that is appropriate.
Use engineering controls to create a physical solution: alter current machinery or plant or purchase new
machinery or plant.
Control Measures
These are control methods that should be evaluated last since they do not regulate the source of the hazard
and so are less effective because they rely on human behaviour or monitoring. They are as follows:
Administrative Procedures: devise work methods or procedures to mitigate risk, such as: a. Written Safe
Operating Procedures
 Job rotation to limit the number of hours spent on demanding tasks.

 Employees who have been trained in proper working practises.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): provide the least amount of protection and should only be employed as
a last resort to deal with a hazard that cannot be removed or minimised by other means, such as:
 Chemical handling — gloves, safety glasses, aprons.

 Eye protection against flying particles.
 Foot protection — safety boots
Appendix 5- Develop procedures for hazard analysis and control
Purpose
The goal of WHS procedure is to limit the risk of injury in the workplace by ensuring that employees know how
to work safely while doing their professions' activities.
Workplace rules and regulations

Personal Protective Equipment
Every employee and student is accountable for wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) whenever a task
or job necessitates it. Supervisors and Departmental Safety Coordinators are in charge of ensuring that
personal protective equipment (PPE) is available and in excellent working order. Departments step in when
they're needed are required to offer personal protective equipment (PPE) to its personnel and pupils.
Supervisors of departments. It is necessary to guarantee that all employees and students understand how to
correctly use personal protective equipment (PPE). Whenever supervisors are accountable if an employee or
student brings their own PPE examining it and ensuring that it is adequate and clean.
Head Protection
 Hard hat, class A: (General Industry)
With limited voltage protection and impact and penetration resistance (up to 2,200 volts)
 Headgear, Class E: (formerly class B)
Electrical risks are best avoided by using the highest level of protection possible (up to 20,000 volts)
Impact, penetration, and flying/falling threats are all protected.
 Headgear, Class C
Lightweight, comfortable, and impact resistant, but they do not provide any protection against electrical
hazards.
Protective Clothing and Personal Hygiene

Those who are exposed to risks such as solid and liquid chemicals, high or low temperatures, open fires, or a
substantial amount of ultraviolet light must wear protective clothes. Protective apparel must fit tightly when
people are exposed to moving or spinning equipment or machinery. Long hair must be kept in a manner that
does not allow it to become caught in moving or rotating machinery. Shirttails must be tucked in and long
sleeves must be buttoned or otherwise fastened to avoid being caught in moving or rotating machinery. When
handling industrial machinery, jewellery should be avoided.
Hazard Energy Control

The technique outlined below defines the basic parameters for locking out energy sources that could cause
personal injury. These processes shall be followed by all personnel. All equipment and/or circuits will be
locked out to prevent accidental or unintended operation in the event that such operation could result in
personnel injury. If a switch, valve, or other energy isolating device has a lock, do not attempt to activate it.
Any employee found working on, or causing others to operate on, equipment and devices/circuits that should
have been shut out, in the view of management, will face severe disciplinary consequences, including
termination.
Safety Monitoring System
 When an employee approaches an open edge in a dangerous manner, issue a voice warning.
 Issue a voice warning if a harmful scenario develops that is not visible to other employees working on
the assignment.
 Inform the employees that they are in an area where they may trip and fall.
 Be capable of recognising and reporting fall dangers.
 Issue a warning to employees who appear to be unaware of a fall hazard or who are performing in a
dangerous manner.
 Don't let other tasks get in the way of monitoring. The job of the safety monitor must be halted if he
or she is overburdened with other tasks.
Workplace amenities
 Water to drink. For the sake of basic health and well-being. Water is required for proper body
function.
 Toilets are necessary for one's basic health, well-being, privacy, and dignity. For personal hygiene,
there are washing facilities.
 Rooms for eating. Provides a sanitary area and a location apart from the workplace for rest breaks and
food eating. As a result, the risk of food contamination from compounds utilised in labour operations
is reduced.
 Shelter is a place where you can get some relief from the elements (e.g. heat, cold, rain, wind). Seating
allows you to alternate between standing and sitting, which helps to lessen fatigue and discomfort.
 Temperature Workplace ranges that are appropriate for the job help employees feel more at ease and
prevent workplace incidents and weariness.
 Workspace improves employee welfare by allowing them to move freely and without straining against
obstacles while performing their jobs.
 Employees may walk about freely and safely complete their tasks without straining to see.
Workplace security
Digital Security
Protecting network and investing own servers, which can range from small and inexpensive to large and
expensive equipment and offer own secure network. Use only as much as require. Educate employees on digital
best practises, such as creating secure passwords for online accounts and avoiding phishing communications. A
solid WiFi network may also keep some of physical security systems up and running, ensuring that is never
without protection.
Physical Security
A robust physical security plan is essential because it will help avoid liabilities, insurance claims, closures, and
other security costs that will harm the bottom line. Employee access, identity authentication, facility
requirements, and alarm systems should all be covered in your physical security policy.
Access Control
Set in place an access control system Mandatory, discretionary, role-based, and rule-based access control are
the four basic types of access control often used in modern workplace practises. Users are assigned a specific
level of clearance via mandatory access control (MAC), which protects assets depending on clearance.
Workplace signage
We will post the following signs at the site's entrance: the WHS officer's name, contact information, and after-
hours phone number, as well as the location of the workplace office. From outside the workplace, the work area
where the assembly and installation activity is being performed>, all signage will be plainly visible. The signs
included are:
 Fire safety signs

 Emergency exit signs
 Road traffic regulations within the workplace
 Prohibition signage
Personal protective equipment

Unless another contractor has provided personal protective equipment (PPE), we shall offer it to workers at the
workplace. The person who provides the PPE must ensure that it is, suitable for the nature of the work and any
hazards associated with it; a suitable size, fit, and reasonably comfortable for the worker who will use or wear it; and
maintained, repaired, or replaced so that it continues to minimise risk to the worker who uses it, including by:
 ensuring that it is clean and sanitary
 ensuring that it is in excellent functioning order

 ensuring that the worker uses or wears it as much as is practically possible
The individual who provides the personal protective equipment (PPE) must also:
 Providing workers with information, training, and instruction on how to use, wear, store, and maintain
personal protective equipment (PPE).
 Ensure that any additional employees (such as home owners, clients, or inspectors) are provided with proper
PPE to wear as needed.
Workers must:
 Wear and utilise PPE according to all directions.
 take proper precautions with PPE

Appendix 6- Develop and provide a WHS Induction and training program

Scenario (outcome of an additional risk assessment recently been conducted)
The assessment of the hardware store and assembly/installation area identified the following changes:
1. The use of proper shelter has decreased the Ultraviolet (UV) radiation and temperature (heat/sunburn) hazards
but created significant lightening issues.
2. There are two work offices identified with confined spaces and issues with noise hazard.
3. Staff is not taking regular breaks, and this is causing a number of health hazards such as dehydration, stress,
fatigue and increased the number of sick leaves.
4. Air-conditioning (thermal comfort) have been fixed but workers have the access to increasing and decreasing the
temperature and no two workers agree on one fixed temperature, therefore, throughout the day workers
experience cold to hot temperature depending upon who have the access of the remote control.
