Question 3.1
3.1.a
A person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) has a primary duty to ensure
the health and safety of workers while they are at work in the business or undertaking
and others who may be affected by the carrying out of work, such as visitors.
The primary duty of care requires PCBUs to ensure so far as is reasonably practicable
the:
supply of easily accessible and sufficient amenities (for example access to washrooms,
lockers, and dining areas)
giving any kind of education, training, knowledge, or supervision

monitoring of workers' health and working conditions

Maintenance of any accommodation owned or under their supervision and control to
guarantee the health and safety of workers inhabiting the premises.

3.1.b
1. Work-related ill health is common:

They’ll have the initiative to flag and control hazards that are contributing to a high level
of work-related ill health and absence.

2. There’s no trust that processes are being followed:

You need to be in a position where the health and safety processes guide the actions of
your staff, even if you’re not there to supervise.
Health and safety training will teach you that even in a high-risk workplace, not every
employee will run into every hazard, but there needs to be rules and policies in place to
guide them if they do.

3. There is no communication about hazards:

If hazards aren’t identified or reported by employees, it is near impossible to keep a

busy workplace safe. This puts significant pressure on those responsible for health and
safety, and presents some serious risks for the organisation and its people.
Question 3.2

1. Conduct Regular Health and Safety Meetings: Organize regular health and safety
meetings to discuss safety concerns, risks, and potential hazards. These meetings can
be held weekly, biweekly, or monthly, depending on the nature of the work and the level
of risk involved.

2. Use Employee Feedback Surveys: Create employee feedback surveys that allow
workers to anonymously express their views on safety matters. This feedback can be
used to identify areas of concern and improve safety policies and procedures.

3. Establish Safety Committees: Establish safety committees comprised of workers from

different departments and levels of the organization to provide input on safety matters.
These committees can meet regularly to discuss safety concerns and provide feedback
to management.

4. Encourage Employee Participation: Encourage employees to participate in safety

programs by offering incentives or recognition for their involvement. This can include
providing training opportunities or allowing employees to lead safety training sessions.

5. Provide Safety Training: Provide safety training to all workers to ensure they have the
necessary knowledge and skills to identify and report safety concerns. This training
should be ongoing and updated regularly to keep workers informed of any changes in
safety policies and procedures.

6. Conduct Safety Audits: Conduct regular safety audits to identify potential hazards and
ensure compliance with safety regulations. Workers should be involved in these audits
and encouraged to report any safety concerns they observe.

7. Offer Whistleblower Protections: Provide workers with whistleblower protections to

encourage them to report safety concerns without fear of retaliation. This can include
offering anonymous reporting options and establishing clear reporting channels.
8. Use Hazard Reporting Systems: Implement hazard reporting systems that allow
workers to report safety concerns quickly and easily. These systems can be used to
track safety incidents, analyze trends, and identify areas for improvement.

9. Establish Open Communication Channels: Establish open communication channels

between workers and management to facilitate dialogue on safety matters. This can
include regular safety briefings, safety suggestion boxes, and open-door policies.

10. Review and Update Safety Policies: Regularly review and update safety policies and
procedures to ensure they remain relevant and effective. Workers should be involved in
these reviews and given the opportunity to provide feedback and suggestions for
improvement.
