Introduction
The Knowledge Assessment is a set of general and workplace questions testing your
knowledge and understanding of the general theory behind the unit.
You must answer all Knowledge Assessment Questions using your own words. However,
you may refer to your Learner Guide and other relevant resources and learning materials to
complete this assessment.
Some questions cover processes you would likely encounter in a workplace. Ideally, you
should be able to answer these questions based on the processes that are currently in place
in your workplace. However, if you do not currently have access to a workplace, then answer
the questions based on processes that should be implemented in a typical workplace setting.
The Practical Assessment is made up of the Project Assessment. This assessment tests your
practical skills with respect to the requirements of the unit of competency relevant in this
workbook.
The Practical Assessment requires you to complete and submit workplace documents and
other documentation relevant to the unit of competency.
The evidence you submit must be your own work except where due reference is made and
where you are required to submit supplementary workplace documents such as policies
and procedures.
When completing the assessments included in this workbook:
1. Read the instructions provided in each task carefully before attempting to complete
the task. The instructions will guide you on how to answer the question or complete
the task satisfactorily.
2. Follow the steps provided in each task.
 If the question instructs you to describe, provide a description as your
response. If the question instructs you to list, provide a list as your response.
 Where there is a number of required responses, provide the required number
of responses. For example, if you are asked to list three responses, provide
three responses.
3. Ensure that all your submissions for this assessment indicate your first and last name
and that these submissions have been named according to the file naming
convention prescribed in each task.

5. Explain what Australian/Joint Australian New Zealand Standards are.
Australian Standards and Australian/New Zealand Standards (the standards) are developed by an
independent organisation called Standards Australia. It prepares and publishes voluntary technical and
commercial standards which are sometimes adopted by occupational safety and health regulations.
Specifies requirements for the design, selection, construction and installation of fixed platforms,
walkways, stairways and ladders that are intended to provide safe access to places used by operating,
inspection, maintenance and servicing personnel.
6. AS/NZS ISO 45001:2018 are standards published by Standards Australia for

occupational health and safety management systems.
Explain how organisations may apply these standards in their risk management
Assessmentprocesses.
Workbook Version 1.0 Produced 24 February 2021
Page 10 STC
An OHSMS is a coordinated and systematic approach to managing health and safety risks. ... In doing
so, they establish safer working environments that protect people at work by eliminating, or better
managing, health and safety hazards. The aim of Risk Management is to identify what could go
wrong, i.e. finding what can cause injury or harm to workers, and to decide on proper safety control
measures to prevent work accidents and occupational diseases and implement them (i.e. risk control).
7. AS/NZS ISO 1891.1:2007 are standards published by Standards Australia for

industrial fall-arrest systems including harnesses and ancillary equipment.
Explain how organisations, especially construction firms, may apply these
standards in their risk management processes.
Industrial fall-arrest systems and devices - Harnesses and ancillary equipment

This Standard specifies requirements for the materials, design, manufacture and testing of
harnesses, lanyards, pole straps and associated equipment including connecting devices and
personal energy absorbers for industrial restraint and fall-arrest purposes.
Personal protective equipment designed exclusively for the following purposes is not
covered by this Standard:
(a) Pole top rescue.
(b) Theatrical flying.
(c) Total restraint applications
(d) Rescue operations.
(e) Emergency services.
8. Answer the following questions about how WHS laws, codes of practice, and
Australian Standards are related to each other.
i. Are Australian Standards considered as WHS laws? Tick ‘Yes’ or ‘No’, then explain
your answer.
 Yes  No
Explanation: There are no Australian Standards referenced in the model WHS Act.
Some jurisdictions have documents, including Australian Standards, approved as
Codes of Practice in addition to the model Codes of Practice developed by Safe
Work Australia.
iii. How is complying with Australian Standards for the person conducting
business or undertaking (PCBUs) related to fulfilling their obligations to
ensure, so far as is ‘reasonably practicable’ the health and safety of
workers and others?
A PCBU's primary duty is to ensure so far as reasonably practicable the health and safety
of its workers while at work for the PCBU and any workers whose activities in carrying out
Page 10 STC
work are influenced or directed by the PCBU while carrying out the work (e.g. temp
workers). The 'person conducting a business or undertaking' (PCBU) must do everything
reasonably practicable to provide a work environment free of risks to health and safety
including: the provision and maintenance of a work environment without risks to health or
safety. safe plant and structures. safe systems of work.
iii. If a Person Conducting Business or Undertaking (PCBU) conforms with a Standard,
does it mean they have complied with WHS Laws? Tick ‘Yes’ or ‘No’, then explain
your answer.
 Yes  No Explanation: PCBU - (person conducting a business or undertaking) is a key new
term – the PCBU has the 'primary duty of care' to ensure the safety of workers and anyone
affected by its work. The WHS Act places the primary duty of care and various other duties
and obligations on a 'person conducting a business or undertaking' (PCBU). The meaning of a
PCBU is set out in section 5 of the WHS Act. This is a broad concept used to capture all types
of modern working arrangements.
iv. Is compliance with WHS codes of practice required by WHS laws? Tick ‘Yes’ or ‘No’,
then explain your answer.
 Yes  No Explanation: In most cases, following an approved code of practice would
achieve compliance with the health and safety duties in a jurisdiction's WHS Act and
Regulations. ... Approved codes of practice are not law, but they are admissible in court
proceedings.

Page 10 STC
9. Below are the duty holders who have duty of care according to WHS laws.
i. Access and review your state/territory WHS legislation to determine what
each duty holder’s duty of care is.
ii. Outline each duty holder’s duty of care according to your state/territory’s
WHS legislation.
Include in your response the specific section in the WHS Legislation where
you sourced your response.
Your responses below must be based on the WHS legislation you identified
in the Preliminary Task of this Knowledge Assessment.
a. Person conducting business or undertaking (PCBU)
Their duty of care: A 'person conducting a business or undertaking' (PCBU), who is usually
the employer, has the primary duty of care under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011
(WHS Act) to ensure the health and safety of workers and others at the workplace, so far as
is reasonably practicable. The PCBU is the legal entity carrying out a business or
undertaking and is important to the scheme of the new legislation as it is the primary duty
holder under HSWA. A PCBU is intended to be broad in its definition so that it covers all
work and business activities.
Section in the WHS Legislation: Section 22
b. Officers
Their duty of care:

Under section 27 of the WHS Act, if a PCBU has a duty or obligation under work health and
safety legislation, an officer of the PCBU must exercise ‘due diligence’ to ensure that the
PCBU complies with the duty or obligation.
The officer’s obligation of due diligence relates to any duty or obligation that the PCBU may
have under the WHS Act or WHS Regulations, and is therefore potentially extensive in
scope.
However, a definition of ‘due diligence’ is provided, which may help an officer in finding
practical ways to comply with the duty. In particular, section 27(5) defines ‘due diligence’ as
including taking reasonable steps:
 to acquire and keep up-to-date knowledge of work health and safety matters
 to gain an understanding of the nature of the operations of the PCBU’s business or
undertaking and generally of the hazards and risks associated with those operations
 to ensure that the PCBU has available for use, and uses, appropriate resources and
processes to eliminate or minimise risks to health and safety from work carried out
as part of the conduct of the business or undertaking
 to ensure that the PCBU has appropriate processes for receiving and considering
information regarding incidents, hazards and risks and responding in a timely way
to that information
 to ensure that the PCBU has, and implements, processes for complying with any
duty or obligation of the PCBU under work health and safety legislation
 to verify the provision and use of the resources and processes referred to in the
three preceding dot points.
Section in the WHS Legislation: Section 27
c. Workers
Their duty of care:

taking reasonable care to protect their own health and safety and the health and safety of
other workers; refraining from causing or participating in the harassment of another
worker; and. cooperating with any other person fulfilling their workplace responsibilities as
described in the Act and the Regulations.
Section in the WHS Legislation: 28

17. What is organisational behaviour?
Organisational behaviour is the behaviour of employees in organisational settings. It encompasses the

behaviour of individuals (members within the organisation), workgroups or departments, and the
organisation as a whole. The ultimate aim of understanding organisational behaviour is to increase job
satisfaction, promote innovation, improve job performance, and encourage leadership.
18. Listed below are examples of WHS risk management activities. Provide one
example of organisational behaviour found in each activity.

20. What is organisational culture? What is safety culture?
Organisational culture
Organisational culture encompasses an organisation’s values, expectations,
Page 29 STC
experiences, philosophy that guide the behaviour and actions of the people within
the organisation. It is manifested in their behaviour and actions, how they interact
with others, how they perceive themselves as a member of the organisation, and
how the organisation works toward their goals.
Safety culture
Safety culture is the culture that employees or members within the organisation
have towards health and safety matters, including risks in the workplace. Safety
culture includes the collective beliefs, perceptions, and values share in relation to
health and safety matters in the organisation.
21. Listed below are examples of WHS risk management activities. Describe the type
of safety culture that will contribute to the efficiency and better outcomes for
each activity.

31. Answer the following questions about the Hierarchy of Control Measures.
i. What is the Hierarchy of Control Measure?

The hierarchy of control measure is a system used in industries and workplaces to
minimise or eliminate the risks associated with health and safety hazards.

Page 43 STC
ii. Complete the diagram below by indicating all the five controls in the Hierarchy of
Control Measure.
Elimination
Substitution
Engineering
Effectivity
Administrative controls
PPE
ii. Explain how the level of effectivity of the controls in managing risks change as
you move up or down the hierarchy.
The hierarchy is best represented with an inverted pyramid to illustrate how
effectivity of the control is reduced as you moved down the level. As you move
down the hierarchy or the inverted pyramid, the controls become less effective in
managing the risk.
The top-level in the inverted pyramid is the most effective in managing the risk,
and the lowest level is the least effective in managing the risk.

Page 44 STC
32. Explain how the Hierarchy of Control Measures is used in establishing the level of
risk.
The level of risk can be determined based on the Hierarchy of Control Measures
(range of control methods used to eliminate or control hazards in the workplace)
by evaluating the risk against the hierarchy. It starts by looking at the risk and
asking if it can be eliminated, if yes, then the risk is totally eliminated, i.e. there is
no existing risk anymore. However, if it cannot be eliminated, you move to the next
control, which is the substitution – can the hazard where the risk is coming from
being substituted for something that is less hazardous? If yes, then we’ve reduced
the risk somehow, and this goes on down the entire hierarchy until the PPE control.
If the hazard could not be eliminated, substituted, controlled through engineering
adjustments, then it is established that the risk is still there, and the level of risk is
still very high.
Hazards should be re-assessed after the implementation of control measures, to
review if the risk has been reduced enough.
33. Listed below are the controls in the Hierarchy of Control Measures. For each
control, identify one factor that limits their effectiveness and explain how the
factor you identified limits the effectiveness of the control. You may include
examples in your explanation.

b. The organisation’s WHS risk management.
ii. Explain how gender differences affect:
i. How the composition of the organisation’s staff affects:

Page 52 STC
 Depending on the race or ethnicity, there may WHS risks in the workplace where
CALD staff are more at risk or more prone to these hazards, for example, physical and
mental health issues that may affect their work.
 CALD staff are more prone to discrimination, bullying, and harassment, which are
detrimental or considered as work hazards to their mental health.

 Disseminating information in their native languages, so they may
understand the processes better, e.g. how to identify the hazards,
how to report hazards.
 Embedding inclusive practices into the organisation’s WHS
consultation and participation practices.
 Information about hazards may also be translated so that they fully
understand what these hazards are and how they may cause harm
in the workplace.

ii. How gender differences (characteristics) affect:
• As the majority of the staff are women and men are the minority, there may be WHS
issues and risks that men, as the minority, might be hesitant to raise. If safety issues and risks
are not regularly brought to light, these issues and risks might not be properly addressed.
• There is also a tendency for men, as the minority, to develop or feel resentment
towards their female bosses, and this, in turn, could affect the dynamics in the working
environment. This could negatively affect mental and emotional wellbeing, not only for the
men but for the women as well, which poses a WHS risk for both.

Page 53 STC
• Risk management will not be as effective if men, as the minority, are hesitant
to raise safety issues and WHS risks.
• In order to be effective, the organisation must ensure that gender groups
within the organisation are well represented and continuously encouraged to share
their thoughts, opinions and feedback on WHS matters in the workplace. Minorities
must feel that they can raise concerns without any fear of repercussions for raising
them.
• If men, as the minority, develop resentment towards their female bosses,
men might be more resistant to following safety procedures as instructed by female
bosses/supervisors.

41. Consider the levels of language, literacy, and numeracy skills of staff in the
organisation, and answer the following questions.

Page 56 STC
i. Consider the scenario below:
Majority of the staff of an organisation has high levels of language, literacy, and
numeracy skills.
How does this affect WHS risks in the organisation?
 If the majority of the organisation’s staff has high LLN levels, majority of the
staff has a higher capacity to comprehend, and they can easily understand
and digest written safety protocols, procedures as well as written
information about hazards and risks. Safety hazards and risks are then
easily identified and reported right away.
ii. How do low levels of language, literacy, and numeracy skills affect the WHS risk
management of an organisation?
LLN levels of employees are typically related to one’s logical thinking and
reasoning strategies in one’s day-to-day work activities, and this includes
their comprehension. With a lower capacity to comprehend, employees
with lower levels of LLN, they might find it more challenging to easily
understand and digest written safety protocols, procedures as well as
written information about hazards and risks.
iii. How do high levels of language, literacy, and numeracy skills affect the WHS risk
management of an organisation?
High LLN levels of employees are typically related to one’s logical thinking
and reasoning strategies in one’s day-to-day work activities, and this
Page 57 STC
includes their comprehension. With a higher capacity to comprehend, they
can easily understand and digest written safety protocols, procedures as
well as written information about hazards and risks. This can help facilitate
the easier implementation of risk management processes.
