Resource Requirements
Refer to the Assessment conditions attached to the Mapping Document located in the teacher support tools
folder or the “Assessment Conditions” for this unit in the SIT 1.0 Training Package.
Part A requires you to plan for 3 situations of your choice as outlined below:
SIT Version 1 1 25
1. You are required to select 3 situations as listed in the task description on the following pages.
2. Once your situations have been selected, you need to access the relevant codes of practice from the
Safework website or the website governing WHS relevant for your state.
3. After you have identified the specific requirements for each situation you will need to:
a. plan, develop and implement consultation processes with your staff/ colleagues;
b. conduct risk assessment for each;
c. apply the relevant risk control measures; and
d. implement each situation in instances as instructed by tour trainer.
4. During implementation of each situation you need to identify the effectiveness for each system,
identify any adjustments required and identify any further staff training needs.
5. For each situation you need to provide:
a) Clear reference to websites or sources including sections and pages where you located the
relevant legislation
b) An implementation plan that provides the steps and processes for planning consultation, risk
assessment and implementation for each situation
c) The actual records required to meet legislative requirements (for example consultation
records for staff consultation/ where incident reporting is selected the appropriate form(s)/
where chemicals and hazardous substances are selected the relevant SDS, PPE register,
training register etc./ where security management of any kind is selected the relevant SOPs,
emergency procedures, staff training records/ where evacuation is selected, the floorplan(s),
emergency procedures, wardens, forms for reports as relevant etc.)
Part B requires you to implement and monitor the effectiveness of each situation to identify the need for
adjustment and any training requirements for staff to overcome any shortfalls or non-compliance that is
identified
6. The observation criteria below provide a guideline for generic key criteria.
7. Additional criteria will be added by your trainer as relevant for the specific situations

3. Instance
Make sure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that chemicals they manufacture or import are without risks to
health and safety.
Correctly classify the chemicals that they import and/or manufacture, and prepare correct labels and SDS for
those chemicals.
Consultation Requirements:
Where possible do not store chemicals in kitchens, keep them in a designated area for storing chemicals
● Depending on the substance, the severity of the harm could range from minor to major, for
example, from minor skin irritation to chronic respiratory disease. Some chemicals may not be
hazardous by all routes of entry. For example, silica is hazardous only by inhalation so the risk
assessment needs to consider how inhalation could occur in the workplace.
The SDS may also include summaries of toxicological data, or advice or warnings for people that might be
at risk, such as
people who are sensitized to particular chemicals
warnings for pregnant women
people with existing medical conditions such as asthma.
Examples may include:
use of welding rods which may liberate hazardous fumes and vapors
directions for use of chlorine bleach, warning that harmful levels of chlorine gas may be generated if
the substance is mixed with incompatible chemicals
warnings that some metals, including alkali metals, in contact with water or acids, liberate flammable gas
information on by-products or breakdown products like formation of explosive peroxides in ether
SIT Version 1 6 25
● Where possible do not store chemicals in kitchens, keep them in a designated area for storing chemicals
● Ensure all hazardous substances are stored in a secure location
● Do not store hazardous substances on a shelf above head height
● Maintain clear separation of storage of hazardous substances from non-hazardous substances
● Ensure that all hazardous substances are kept in undamaged containers with secure caps or lids
Who is involved:
Workers should obtain and read instructions for use, consult the Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and know
safe handling precautions to take before working with a hazardous substance
Risk assessment including Hazard Analysis – what will need to be assessed
Maintain clear separation of storage of hazardous substances from non-hazardous substances
● Ensure all hazardous substances are stored in a secure location
● Do not store hazardous substances on a shelf above head height

Your Tasks
You are required to implement each situation based on the work you have planned and completed in Part A.
1. Brief all relevant staff before implementation to provide a refresher of the procedures that were
finalised and determined during consultation and risk assessment
2. Monitor each situation and ensure that any breaches are identified promptly.
3. Use relevant templates or a log to document progress and incidents for each situation.
4. Take appropriate actions to prevent any potential incidents, accidents or other hazards where a safety
risk has been identified.
6. Write a report summary for each situation and clearly outline the requirements for changes for each

situation.
SIT Version 1 13 25
Situation 2:security management of cash, documents, equipment, keys or people
Report summary
Develop a code of conduct to outline the rules, values, ethical principles and vision of your business. It should
also set guidelines for staff behaviour in normal business operations and in the event of an emergency.
Basically, proper management and control can significantly reduce the dangers of hazardous substances and
chemicals. Before, or upon, the first occasion a hazardous substance is to be used in the workplace, the manager
and/or supervisor of the area is responsible for consulting with, and providing appropriate information,
instruction training and supervision to those employees and students who are, or may be exposed to that
substance in the workplace.

• Minor/no risk (risk score 1-2) – is acceptable. No further action on risk control measures is necessary
• Moderate risk (risk score 3-4) - indicates conditional acceptability. Further risk control measures should be considered and existing controls monitored
• Major risk (risk score 5-6) - indicates unacceptable level of risk. Controls and measures must be developed and implemented in the short to medium term
• Catastrophic risk (risk score 7-16) - indicates unacceptable level of risk. Controls must be immediately implemented or the risk eliminated (i.e. cease activity)
