4. Explain how Work Health and Safety Management Systems are implemented to
manage health and safety risks in the workplace.
Work health and safety management systems provide a set of guidelines, policies, and procedures
that help to implement work health and safety and help to minimize work health and safety risks
and issues in the workplace. To implement such systems, all the risks and issues associated with
health and safety at the workplace are identified, analysed, and then preventive and protective
measures are designed to manage those risks. Appropriate trainings and workshops are provided to
carry out all the work, and rights tools and techniques are implemented to manage health and safety
in the workplace.

9. Explain how the Hierarchy of Control Measures is used in establishing the level of
risk.
The hierarchy of control measures contain six steps that help to eliminate or control hazards in the
workplace. Through hierarchy of control measures, all the measures can be implemented following
the hierarchy and then risks can be re-assessed to identify if the risk level is reduced after
implementing the control measures. This is how it helps to establish the level of risk. After
identifying the risk level, you can make changes in the control measures to minimize the risk level or
negative impact.
10. 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.
11. Procedural control is a form of administrative control. Below are two examples of these
procedural controls. Explain the role in controlling risks of each example and identify one
factor that limits their effectiveness in controlling risks.

not in work health and safety but impact the management of WHS-related risks in the
organisation.
a. Administration Team
b. Depot Team
c. Operations Team
ii. Explain why non-WHS teams in general impact the management of WHS-related risks
in the organisation.
These teams impact the management of WHS risks in the organisation because these teams
are involved in different operations, tasks, and activities that are performed within the
organisation. Because these are the teams that are working on the tasks that are associated
with different WHS risks. Due to which management of WHS risks get affected with these
teams and their activities inside the organisation.

This task requires you to review the information and data you gathered in Tasks 1.1 – 1.2
to determine the factors that affect the following areas in your organisation’s WHS risk
management:
▪ Hazard identification process
▪ Risk assessment process
▪ Risk control process
This task also requires you to determine the nature and scope of your organisation’s WHS
risk management and confirm whether these have been clearly defined in your
organisation’s policies and procedures.

Based on the information recorded above, describe the nature of your organisation’s
WHS risk management.
Based on the above recorded information, the nature of ABE Construction Services WHS risk
management is quite risky as there are many factors involved that can affect the risk management
process and thus, risk management process needs to be improved to effectively deal with work
health and safety issues. The WHS risk management process is not integrated into deep roots of
the organisation and most of the employees and workers are unaware about the company’s policy
and procedures related to WHS risk management.
Do your organisation’s policies and procedures clearly define the nature of your
organisation’s WHS risk management (as you described above)? YES NO
Explanation for your response.
No, the policies and procedures of ABE Construction Services do not clearly define the nature of
the organisation’s WHS risk management. There are clauses added in the policy and procedure
related to general risk management but there is no section that specifically covers the WHS risk
management and how health and safety issues can be managed within the organisation and
specially while working at a construction site.
Based on the information recorded above, describe the scope of your organisation’s WHS
riskmanagement.
The scope of ABE Construction Services WHS risk management is quite narrow because the risk
management policy and procedures of the organisation covers the general risk management and
do not focus on the work health and safety and there are no clauses added related to work
health and safety and how health and safety can be ensured within the organisation as well as
on the construction site. This scope needs to be expand and cover the hazards associated with
work health and safety and how these hazards can be tackled.
Do your organisation’s policies and procedures clearly define the scope of your
organisation’s WHS risk management (as you described above)? YES NO
Explanation for your response.
Although the scope is clearly defined it does not cover much of the WHS risk management.
However, it covers the general risk management related to the construction sector. When it comes
to workplace health and safety, no specific policies and procedures can be found, and no discussion
can be found on WHS risk management.
Cite one set of procedures in which you based your response on.
Risk Management Procedures at ABE
Outline below the organisational requirement that states the individual and group listed
above mustbe consulted in hazard identification.
Both the CEO/Owner of the organisation as well as the workers/labour working for the ABE
Construction Services are the key stakeholders for the organisation and they must be consulted in
hazard identification to correctly identify all the hazards. CEO/Owner can ensure the compliance
and correct identification of hazards, where workers can help to identify the hazards that are
associated with day-to-day activities because these are the people involved in the daily operations
of the organisation.
Outline below the organisational requirement that states the individual and group listed
above mustbe consulted in risk assessment.
Both project manager and senior management is responsible to participate and conducting risk
assessment and carrying out all the relevant/associated risk assessment activities and tasks. Both

Agenda Item 1 – Risk control options and treatment plan for Risk 1
Steps to take: Identify the hazard. Consult with workers how to ensure health and safety while
working at heights. Provide appropriate safety equipment to workers and ensure safety nets and
safety ropes are available to work at height. Provide regular weekly trainings in a simulated
environment and arrange meetings to show them videos how professional workers work at height.
Timeframes: Immediately
Measures of success: Less number of injuries reported from falling from height or zero injuries
reported due to such risk.
Agenda Item 2 – Risk control options and treatment plan for Risk 2
Selected risk control: Provide trainings and workshops to work around electrical wires and cables
Why this risk control option was selected:
Based on hierarchy of control: Based on hierarchy of control, this is the best option on which risks
associated with this hazard can be eliminated or minimized.
Based on strengths and weaknesses: Based on strengths and weakness, this can minimize the risk,
can help the workers to uplift their skills and develop knowledge and practice to work around
electrical wires, cables, and power lines. However, this can cost the organisation.
Based on its appropriateness to the assessed level of the risk: This is appropriate to assessed level
of the risk because the risk is of high level and this risk control option can greatly reduce the level.
Risk treatment plan
To the candidate: The fields below may be completed after the meeting.
Organisational Requirement
All the risk control measures must be communicated with relevant stakeholders and stakeholders
decision is important to consider before implementing the control measure.
Explain why you need to communicate selected risk controls to Stakeholder 1.
It was important to communicate risk control with selected stakeholder 1 because the stakeholder
1 is directly involved into the activity associated with the risk and their consent and consultation is
important before implementing the control measure.
Explain why you need to communicate selected risk controls to Stakeholder 2.
There is need to communicate selected risk control to stakeholder 2 because these are the one
that can take important decisions regarding the risk control measures and the overall risk
management. These risk control measures can influence organisational behavior as well as
organisational strategies and goals and therefore, these stakeholders are important to involve and
discuss about the selected risk controls before implementation.

Legislative Requirement
Overview of this legislative requirement: All the risk control measures must be consulted and
communicated with the relevant stakeholders before implementing the control measures. All the
stakeholders must be on the same page and their support must be gained to successfully
implement the control measures.
Reference: The Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW)
There is a need to communicate selected risk controls to stakeholder 1 (workers) to gain their
support and aware them about the changes that are being made at the workplace. There is a need
to communicate these risk controls with workers to ensure that they fully understand what
trainings and workshops will be provided to them and how it can benefit them.
Explain why you need to communicate selected risk controls to Stakeholder 2, in
accordance withthis legislative requirement.
There is a need to communicate selected risk controls with stakeholder 2 (Board of Directors) to
gain their support and let them know about the costs and benefits of implementing these risk
control measures and evaluate if any changes required by them in selected risk controls.

This task requires you to implement two of the four risk treatment plans outlined in your WHS Risk Assessment
Sheet in accordance with organisational policies and procedures.
Read the instructions carefully before proceeding.
1. Complete Part E of your WHS Risk Assessment Sheet by following the instructions below. For each risk
treatment plan implemented:
i. Indicate date, time, and location of implementation.
ii. Specify the risk control you implemented.
iii. Outline the steps you have taken to implement the risk treatment plan.
iv. Analyse and assess the risk again after implementing the risk treatment andrecord in the
sheet:
a. Revised likelihood
b. Revised impact
c. Revised risk rating
d. Revised priority level.
Revised rating must be represented numerically or in numbers.
Have your supervisor sign off on your responses as confirmation that you haveimplemented the
risk treatment plan. Their signature must be handwritten.

This task requires you to evaluate the effectiveness of your risk control implementation in Part 3.
Specifically, you will need to:
▪ Establish the nature and scope of your evaluation for the risk control
implementation.
▪ Establish the key performance indicators (KPI) for the risk control
implementation.
▪ Review effectiveness of the for the risk control implementation in accordance
with your organisation’s WHSMS and WHS legislative requirements.
▪ Locate the WHS Risk Management Evaluation Report template in the following
pages.
▪ Save and submit the two WHS Risk Management Evaluation Reports you
completed.
▪ Email to the relevant stakeholder to evaluation findings
WHS Risk Management Evaluation
Instructions to the candidate: You must submit two completed and signed WHS Risk Management
Evaluation. One for each of the two risk controls you will be evaluating.
All the risk control measures are effectively implemented, and the desired outcomes/results have
been achieved. The number of incidents and injuries are reduced due to falling from height as well
as due to electrical shocks from electrical wires, cables, and power lines. The risk control measures
are proven effective.
Base on your evaluation, outline below one modification to the risk control implementation.
To the risk control implementation, there is a need to make one modification which is to provide
on-site trainings to the workers instead of simulated environment or in training room. This can
reduce the costs and can improve the trainings.
Legislative Requirement
Overview of this legislative requirement: All the risk control measures must meet the desired
outcomes and generate positive results such as minimizing or eliminating the risks. All the risk
control measures must be evaluated against the KPIs and desired goals.
Explain how you complied with this legislative requirement in their risk management
evaluation.
Complied with this legislative requirement by evaluating the risk control measures against the key
performance indicators and also by conducting a risk assessment again to analyse if risk likelihood
and impact is reduced by implementing risk control measures.
