Nehal Hagras
Task 1:- What financial arguments could you use to justify your proposed
recommendations to segregate FLTs and the workers?
Compliance will assist the organisation in avoiding a variety of direct and indirect costs, of which only a
.fraction may be covered and the majority may be uninsured

.Avoid the costs of first-aid and medical care resulting from such collisions between FLT and workers

.Accidents that occur less often indicate that sick pay is not required

.Save money on sick pay in the future. Due to the occurrence, Six weeks of sick pay was required

Avoid costs associated with damaged property repairs and upkeep, such as those associated with
.broken hardware, tools, and even dangerous substances

To compensate for damaged hardware items or other corrective measures, avoid costs associated with
..product loss and production delay due to re-ordering or manufacture

Avoid costs associated with high attrition rates and worker turnover by re-hiring and training new
worker

Avoid the costs of legal claims brought by impacted workers, such as the one brought by the critically
.injured worker

Costs involved with reputation and brand image harm should be avoided. The image of a retail store will
.deteriorate, resulting in sales and marketing losses

Avoid costs associated with the inquiry, such as fees for investigators and downtime during the
.investigation

Avoid any penalty that the workforce inspector may impose. Due to a violation of legislative safety
.regulations, businesses might face steep fines

Avoid the expenditures of transporting wounded personnel to the hospital, which is eight kilometres
.distat

Reduce costs associated with victim compensation, wounded worker rehabilitation, and gradual return
to work. All of the employer's duties are listed above, and the Occupation Health Department will incur
.fees as a result of its work

Reduce the costs of low morale and decreased production. Workers will get demotivated when there
are frequent accidents, and this may lead to unrest in the form of a worker strike or protest, leading in
.further losses due to the shutdown of operations
Task 2:- You email a report to the overall Store and Warehouse Manager, in a
further attempt to convince them that safety needs improving. The report
contains unsafe behavior that you have observed, unsafe behavior associated
with historic incidents, and unsafe behavior relayed to you from other workers.
Also, the report contains voluntary feedback on safety given to you by workers
and managers.
(a) what unsafe behavior would be included in the report?
(b) what voluntary feedback would be included in the report?
WE email a report to the overall Store and Warehouse Manager
in attempt to convince them that safety needs improving

we observe The unsafe behavior would be like

Driving of FLT over oil spillages that may have resulted from improperly maintained FLT would
be included in the report on risky conduct
Workers jumping into car lanes, maybe causing a crash
Due to a lack of laws on phone usage, use of a cell phone while driving FLT creates distraction
.and increases response time
Absence of management visits to the warehouse to address worker complaints about FLT
colliding with items and creating spillages owing to improper driving tactics, maybe due to a
lack of educated FLT drivers or a bad safety culture
Various regulation violations were seen in the warehouse, including products being placed in
walking lanes and authorised paths being blocked up
Putting all products in one place and occupying warehouse corridors

Not putting up guiding boards for how to store each item

No road signs for FLT

And we voluntary feedback

The unavailability of a worker representative for health and safety
Employees and management might provide voluntary feedback in the form of
Near misses between FLT and employees are common, as are product collisions that cause
damage
Appoint drivers who match the experience and legal age to work
Risk assessments are too general and do not reflect the actual risks in the warehouse
Absenteeism and turnover rates are also high
Worker complaints regarding working conditions, as well as management's response to the
.complaints
.The warehouse hasn't had a management visit
Managers' opinions on the lack of funds for increasing safety and the fact that it would create
.too much disturbance to the business
.
