What is Awesome Landscapes’ policy on hazard identification?


The Awesome Landscapes’ policy on hazard identification is to complete the Hazard Report form
including multiple items such as work area affected, time and date hazard identified, identify all
persons present, describe workplace and address, nominate and identify senior person to whom
the hazard was reported, and write name, sign and date form. After completing the prescribed
from with all these section, it is instructed to submit the form to Designated Safety Officer.

operations.

Risk Assessment

What is Awesome Landscapes’ policy on risk assessment?


For the risk assessment, all the tasks must be individually assessed, and potential hazards must be
identified. And then risk assessment must be carried out both within the office and in the field for
all tasks and all the potential hazards must be assessed based on their likelihood, consequence,
and impact.

Identify two processes that are followed as part of Awesome Landscapes’ risk assessment:

Process 1: Risk Assessment Matrix Process 2: Quantitative Risk Assessment


Procedures under this process: Under this Procedures under this process: Under this process,
process, all the risks are assessed using the risk quantitative data is collected to assess the risk and
assessment matrix. Based on the risk assessment quantify it. For example, data and information
matrix, the likelihood and consequence of each associated with a risk is obtained and numerical
risk is identified, and a risk value is obtained. Based analysis are performed to analyse how much will be the
on the risk value, all the risks are prioritized. negative impact of the risk and how much it will cost to
prevent or mitigate the risk, etc.

Risk Control

What is Awesome Landscapes’ policy on risk control?


Their policy on risk control is to keep all the information transparent both within and outside the
Awesome Landscapes and it must be ensured that all the information is transmitted through
proper risk management and control, all the information must be correct without any errors, and
all the information must be transmitted on time to ensure that risks can be controlled effectively.
Identify two processes that are followed as part of Awesome Landscapes’ risk control

management responsible to comply with these
standards.

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.
5. Listed below are WHS information and data which are sourced externally or outsidethe
organisation. For each:

i. Identify one external source where you can access the information or data.

6. What is organisational behaviour?

Organisational behavior is directly associated with the human behaviour inside the organisation.
According to Kopp et al. (2022), organisational behavior is how people interact within the
organisation and how these interactions influence the organisation and its performance.
Understanding organisational behavior helps to improve work productivity, streamline work
efficiency, and spark innovation to maintain a competitive advantage in the organisation.

7. Listed below are some strategies that organisations use as part of their WHS
consultation and participation.

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.

them not being able to execute
these instructions correctly
(Albright Institute, 2022).

Nature of your organisation’s WHS risk management

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.

Cite one policy in which you based your response on.

Risk Management Procedures at ABE

Scope of your organisation’s WHS risk management

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.

Agenda Item 1 – Risk control options and treatment plan for Risk 1

Selected risk control: Provide trainings and workshops to work at height


Why this risk control option was selected:
Based on hierarchy of control: It can change the way workers are working and can provide them
enough awareness and education about working at heights without getting injured or falling from
height.
Based on strengths and weaknesses: It can reduce or completely eliminate the risk of injuries due
to falling from height and can spread awareness among the workers about health and safety issues.
However, this can be costly as providing trainings can be time consuming and require additional
costs and budgets to implement these controls.
Based on its appropriateness to the assessed level of the risk: However, it is appropriate to
implement this risk control measure because this can provide the best outcomes as it will allow the
workers to work at height while carefully considering the risk of falling and also performing
activities effectively to reduce the risk.

Risk treatment plan

Owner (Person or group responsible): Safety Supervisor and Project Manager

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

Owner (Person or group responsible): Safety Supervisor and Project Manager


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 PPE suits are
available to protect the workers from electrical shocks.
Timeframes: From now to the end of the project.
Measures of success: Zero number of injuries or deaths reported due to electric shocks.

To the candidate: The fields below may be completed after the meeting.

Organisational Requirement

Overview of this organisational requirement you complied with in communicating the


selected riskcontrols.

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.
