Task 1: Negative health and safety culture

Question 1
In zone 3, negative peer pressure was developed that negatively affected the health and
safety culture which are reflected in the following points:
Informal hierarchy: As evident from the scenario, the longest serving workers
considered themselves as authoritative to give order or instructions to the younger or new
workers. The worker C was working for the longest time at zone 3 and feels it is justifiable
to order worker B. He allocated worker B who is not even 18 years old at zone 3 and
when worker B raised safety concerns, worker C threatened him. This shows negative
peer pressure and develops negative health and safety culture.
Unofficial dedication of authority: At the scene, the contractor arrived before the
supervisor assigned the duties to ALAs. Due to this the supervisor gave his duty to
worker C who was not competent to fulfil this task. As the worker C didn’t appoint duties
according to the instruction given by the supervisor, this created negative health and
safety culture at the scene.
Peer influence on task location: As evident from the scenario, the worker C assigned
distribution points to ALAs according to their preferences. He appointed worker B alone
at the far end where baggage from huge flight is handled. Even the worker B asked
worker C if he is certain that they should work alone at assigned point. This creates
negative peer pressure on the worker B which results in negative health and safety
culture.
Use of force to accept unsafe task: The worker B was reluctant to work alone at zone 3
as he was very young and aware of the situation. At Zone 3 baggage from larger flights
were handle that is the reason that worker b knows he cannot handle the situation alone.
But the worker C threatened him that he will report to the supervisor and also laughed at
him. This behaviour of worker C negatively influenced and created negative health and
safety culture at the scene.
Negative peer response to safety concerns: Based on the scenario, when worker B
raised safety concern to worker C. The worker C get irritated and forced him to work
alone. The negative response ultimately discourages open communication and safety
concern reporting. This situation led worker B not to raise the issue again and illustrated
how negative peer pressure can affect health and safety culture at the workplace.
Hazards should be reported in order to avoid negative health and safety culture.
Ridicule behaviour: Threatening of worker C coupled with laughing of other workers and
supervisor created negative influence on the worker B. This ridicule behaviour of
supervisor and workers made worker B insecure and thus decided not to raise the issue
again. This creates negative peer pressure on the worker B which results in negative
health and safety culture.

Peer advice to accept unsafe work: The advice of worker to the worker B who was
sitting at the edge of the conveyor to accept the behaviour of worker C to get better task
next time. This advice shows that to avoid safety concerns in order to get tasks in the
future or to fit in organization. Accepting task without raising safety concerns due to
negative peer pressure creates negative health and safety culture.
Culture of fear: The worker C developed culture of fear by threatening other workers.
This also impacts the process of hazard identification and hazard reporting as they are
forced to work which ultimately results in negative health and safety culture.
Decision of not raising safety concern by worker B: The acceptance of unsafe
conditions and not raising safety concerns again just to secure the job as evident from
the scenario. This accepting of negative behaviour of peer created negative health and
safety culture at the workplace.
Pressure of work and neglected safety concerns: As evident from the scenario, due
to high work load the worker B tried to drive truck faster above the speed limit to save
time. The work pressure created panicking situation and resulted into accident. This
shows that working under pressure and with high workload can negatively affect health
and safety culture.

Answer sheet IG1-0034-ENG-OBE-V1 Jan24 © NEBOSH 2024 page 2 of 11

 Lack of communication at zone 3: The worker C was given responsibility to deliver
daily announcements which he forgets to read out to all ALAs. And decided to do it later
as he didn’t consider it important. This poor communication of worker C shows negative
peer pressure which influence negative health and safety culture at zone 3.
Assigning high risk activity to new worker: Zone 3 was the busiest area as large flight
lands here. This zone was given to the new worker who was under 18 as well. To handle
high risk activity, worker C should allocate some senior workers. But assigning high risk
activity to new worker shows negative peer pressure which influence negative health and
safety culture
Lack of respect to new worker: Based on the scenario, the laughter and pointed
remarks at the worker B creates a negative peer pressure and shows disrespectful
behaviour towards worker B. This behaviour also lowers the self-esteem of a worker.
Lack of team support: When worker B raised safety concerns about working alone, he
got negative response which creates an unsupportive behaviour. This poor support of
worker C shows negative peer pressure which influence negative health and safety
culture.

Task 2: Managing the contractor on site

Question 2
Based on the scenario, the zone 3 shows several instances of how the contractor was
poorly managed. These instances are given below:
Lack of communication upon contractor arrival: The daily safety announcements and
assigning of tasks was the responsibility of supervisor. But due to arrival of contractor he
gave his responsibility to the worker C. Based on the scenario, the worker C forgets to
announce and due to lack of communication the worker B was unaware of contractor
arrival which resulted into accident.
Lack of detailed orientation to the contractor: Upon arrival of contractor, the
supervisor gave brief tour of the area. The supervisor was confident about the contractor
as he previously worked at zone 1. After showing the faulty conveyor, the supervisor left
him there went to neighbouring zone to resolve an issue there. The lack of detailed
orientation on the layout as the layout at every zone are different lead to potential hazard
and shows the contractor was poorly managed.
Assumption of similarity with plant and equipment: Since the contractor already
worked at zone 1, the supervisor assumed that the contractor must be familiar with the
plant and equipment at zone 3. Due to this assumption, the supervisor was satisfied and
didn’t communicate safety concerns not explained different layout of zone 3. This lack of
clarity puts the contractor at unnecessary risk. This reflects the poor management of
supervisor.
Communication of site routes: As evident from the scenario, the contractor was not
informed about the site route and marks for pedestrian which resulted in accident. Lack of
informing contractor about the pathways shows poor management towards health and
safety of contractor.
Lack of supervision: The supervisor left the contractor alone to repair the conveyor in
the absence of his supervision, as he called away to solve an issue in the neighbouring
zone. He assumed that the contractor would locate him once finishing the repairing. Lack
of supervision shows poor contractor management.
Inadequate safety briefing: While leading the contractor from zone 1 to the conveyor
belt, the supervisor provides a brief tour, which lacks safety briefings such as PPE, safety
rules, risks associated to worksite, and red hatched markings indicating routes that cross
roadways at regular intervals. This shows poor contractor management.
Absence of communication among supervisor and contractor: The contractor was
given instructions by the supervisor to find him after the work is completed without giving
any kind of communication channel. Since there was no communication channel, the
contractor inquires group pf workers which were working on the opposite side of zone 3.

Answer sheet IG1-0034-ENG-OBE-V1 Jan24 © NEBOSH 2024 page 3 of 11

 To communicate effectively, there should be specific channel, but lack of communication
shows poor management for the contractor.
Coordination of contractor with team: To coordinate properly, the contractor should be
introduced to the workers at zone 3. This is because the workers at specific site are more
aware of risks and hazards involved in the tasks and can provide better guidance
regarding safety concerns. In the scenario, the contractor was repairing without under
any supervision. this shows that the supervisor failed to introduce contractor to the
workers for coordination and results in poor contractor management.
Access of safe system at work: as evident from the scenario, there was no secure
working environment. the contractor did not receive any work permit during his work at a
baggage handling system. The accident of the contractor could be prevented if safe
systems were ensured. As safe working system warned potential risk and hazards
associated to the task but there was no such system which resulted in accident and
shows poor contractor management.

Task 3: Actions of a labour inspector

Question 3 (a)
Enforcement of legal provision: According to article 3a of ILO convention C081, it is
the function of labour inspection to ensure the compliance of organization with legal
provisions of health and safety. In the current scenario all the tasks were performed
manually it should be done under legal provisions provided by labour inspection.
Technical information: In accordance with article 3b of ILO convention C081, it is the
function of labour inspection to provide technical information and advice to the workers
for effective compliance with legal requirements of health and safety. But in the scenario,
the safety routes and signs were not communicated with the contractor which shows poor
compliance of providing technical information and health and safety information.
Reporting defects to improve current law: Reporting risks and hazards should be
used to inform authorities and can be incorporated in current law. As in the scenario,
reporting of previous risks were not mentioned.
Investigation of workers complaint: It is the function of authority to inspect workers
health and safety concerns for the protection of worker’s right. The inspector should find
the root causes to avoid accidents in the workplace.
To ensure provision of safe working conditions: For the provision of safe working
conditions, the inspector should consider negative peer influence, ridicule, and informal
hierarchy of organization. These factors contribute to unsafe working environment and
inspector should recommend corrective measures as well.

Question 3 (b)
Eliminate health and safety flaws: Labour inspector should take steps to eliminate
defects in plant, working conditions, and layouts. As the layout of zones 1, 2 and 3 were
different, the labour inspector should mention this to improve workplace safety by
enhancing overall safety protocols.
Issuing improvement notice: Minor issues in health and safety arrangements which are
not significant, the inspector can announce verbally or through improvement notice.
Improvement notice should be issued within given timeframe for legal provisions of health
and safety of workers.
Issuing probation notice: Due to high risk associated with the task, the labour inspector
can generate probation notice to stop the activity in order to protect health and safety of
the workers. The probation notice is given to the organization to implement the
improvements.
Imposing fines or penalties: According to the article 18 of ILO convention C081, the
labour inspector may impose penalties to ensure compliance and to remove future
hazards, depending on the severity of the violations.

Answer sheet IG1-0034-ENG-OBE-V1 Jan24 © NEBOSH 2024 page 4 of 11

 Initiate legal proceedings: According to the article 17 of ILO convention C081, the
labour inspector can procced legally at the civil court upon finding inefficient input of
organization regarding health and safety. As in the scenario, the supervisor gave brief
orientation without adding any health and safety concerns.

Task 4: Safety signage

Question 4
Pedestrian route signs: In the current scenario, pedestrian route signs are marked with
green paint and red hatched markings to show pathways. These signs help workers and
passengers clearly which route is suitable for them. Marking roadways with route signs
for pedestrians helps in preventing accident from occurring.
General safety signs: General safety signs such as health and safety, road safety and
site rules must be displayed to remind workers of their safety. These signs also show
prioritizing safety of workers in the organization. Health and safety signs such as how to
use PPE or how to report potential hazards or risk occurred immediately should be
included. By displaying such information can prevent accidents from occurring.
Zone signs: Due to the size the area of baggage handling system was divided into three
zone. Zone signs should be displayed to clarify each area. Providing visuals or signs
helps workers and outsiders to find their route.
Speed limit zones: As the worker B was driving tow trucks in the distribution zones,
speed limit signs should be displaced with clear visuals to control the speed and avoid
the accident. The speeding accident in the scene emphasizes the importance speed limit
signs.
No smoking sign: To avoid fire hazard at the workplace, no smoking sign should be
displayed at the distribution and loading areas.
No entry sign: Areas such as distribution, loading areas, and heavy machinery should
have no entry or restricted area sign to warn workers or individuals about the potential
risk associated with the location. This will ensure the safety of workers by preventing
entry of unauthorized persons.
First aid arrangements: Clearly marked signs of first aid boxes or stations would help in
directing workers to immediate assistance for medical emergencies. Based on the
scenario, the first aider was on the duty and provided emergency first aid to the
contractor who got injured during the incident.
Hazard warning sign: Zones where automated conveyors are placed should have signs
to warn workers about potential hazards associated with machinery. In the scenario,
hazard warning sign should be displayed near to faulty conveyor.
Loading area sign: Instructive sign boards on how to load baggage with safety
precautions to secure baggage on the carts must be displayed to avoid tripping of
baggage during the loading.
Directional signs for the distribution points at the airport: Signs with clear directions
to distribution site for ALAs would facilitate effective navigation and reduce confusion,
which increases the risks of accidents during peak hours.
Automatic machinery signs near conveyor: Caution sign to aware workers about
potential hazards must be placed at the areas where automated conveyors are present.
Signs to welfare facilities: To ensure accessibility and safe working environment,
welfare sign such as washroom for guiding individuals.
Emergency exit sign: In the case of emergency, clear emergency exit sign guides
workers and passengers to exit safely. emergency exit sign is a key element of any
workplace for overall safety and compliance.

Task 5: Identification of management failures following root cause
investigation and immediate actions to take following the accident

Question 5 (a)
Following are the immediate actions which should be discussed in the meeting to prevent
the accidents:
Enhance communication: In the scenario, worker C forget to communicate daily
announcements with the workers. Hazards and risks related to the workplace was not
communicated with the contractor by the supervisor. To communicate effectively there
must be some channel which was missing at the airport. All of these contributed to the
accident which can be avoided in the future by creating communication channel for the
workers.
Task allocation: The newly hired worker B was assigned to the zone which requires
multiple ALAs as this zone is quite busy due to larger flights. As the worker B is quite
young to handle such pressure and resulted in the accident. All the tasks allocated
according to personal preference of worker C. It should be assigned based on
experience to avoid potential hazards.
Speed limit: Due to pressure of completing the task within time frame, the worker B
violated speed limit. No supervisor was available at the time to control the speed of tow
truck and resulted in accident. Imposing speed limit at workplace reduce the potential of
risks associated with workplace.
Reporting of safety concerns: The worker C refused to incorporate safety concerns of
worker B and threatened him that he will report to the supervisor. Such kind of situations
made workers reluctant to report to the supervisor as they want to get more tasks and the
fear of not getting tasks also contributed. Safety corners should be reported timely to
avoid accidents and injuries.
Better contractor management: Lack of supervision and brief orientation of the
contractor resulted in the accident. If proper safety guidance and supervision were
provided to the contractor, the hazard could be avoided.
Training on the loading procedure: Baggage was not secured properly in the cart and
fall out as evident from the scenario. Training of workers on loading procedure can avoid
accidents or injuries.
Training on Tow truck operation: Safe driving practices and training on driving the
truck within speed limit must be provided to avoid hazards. Based on the scenario, the
worker B was young and didn’t get any training on the safe driving practices which
resulted in accident.
Positive peer support and teamwork: Addressing negative peer support such as when
Worker C and his fellow workers laughed at the worker B as he assigned alone at the
busiest zone. Encourage and support workers within the team improves self esteem of
workers and results in effective work.

Question 5 (b)
Following are the management failure contributing to the accidents:
Poor contractor management: In the current scenario, no supervision or training
regarding health and safety was given to the contractor during the repairing of faulty
conveyor. This shows poor management of contractor by the supervisor which resulted in
accident.
Inadequate contractor orientation: Upon arrival of contractor, the supervisor gave him
brief orientation and directly taken him to the site without providing any guidance on
health and safety rules, safety signs, vehicle route, and layouts of the zones. Due to
inadequate information, the contractor was crossing the pathway without looking on sides
and resulted in accidents.
Lack of supervision: During the repairing of faulty conveyor, the supervisor left the
contractor and went to resolve other issue in the neighbourhood. This shows lack of
commitment and supervision which is one of the reasons for poor management.

Answer sheet IG1-0034-ENG-OBE-V1 Jan24 © NEBOSH 2024 page 6 of 11

 Poor task allocation: Worker B assigned a task at zone 3 which requires more than one
ALAs to handle the situation. As the worker B was young and not competent for the task
which causes the accident.
Lack of proper communication: The lack of hazards and risk communicated to the
contractor contributed to accident. The worker C forgets to read daily announcements to
the workers and thought it could be done later. Communicating safety concerns and
providing all the relevant information to the contractor decreases the risk associated with
the activity. But due to lack of communication the contractor met with the accident.
Negative peer pressure: Supervisor and ALAs contributed to negative health and safety
culture by pressuring and ridiculing worker B which contributed to negative working
environment and affected the safety of contractor. This shows failure management for the
contractor.
Insufficient enforcement of speed limit: Worker B driving the truck at faster speed
limit which is indicator of failure to enforce and monitor speed limit. This
management failure contributed to the risk of accident in the distribution area.
Failure to conduct regular safety audits: In the scenario, no regular safety audits to
contractor were mentioned. The failure to conduct regular safety audits
contributed to lack of systematic identification and in turn resulted in accident of
contractor.
Lack of commitment towards safety management: The supervisor failure to
communicate safety concerns to the contractor and shows lack of commitment to
ensure that all the workers are well aware of safety and health issues. Effective
communication is a key aspect of safety management.
Lack of workers consultation towards safety concerns: workers are not consult or
involve which creates a culture where workers are reluctant to report hazards.
Lack of adequate support to young workers: As evident from the scenario, when the
worker B raised his safety concerns no one supported him. They threatened and
laughed at the worker B by creating mockery environment and lowering self
esteem of the worker. This management failure contributing to the accident.
Absence of Reporting Mechanism for Safety Concerns: in the scenario, there is no
indication of a formal reporting mechanism for workers to raise their safety
concerns. The absence of such a mechanism contributed to a lack of reporting
and addressing potential safety risks associated with the work.
Inadequate monitoring of safety practices: The supervisor did not adequately monitor
safety practices, which is evident by the lack of reading daily announcements and
the failure to ensure that the safety information reached all workers. Inadequate
monitoring contributed to management failure.
Informal hierarchy and absence of roles and responsibilities: As mentioned in the
scenario, there was informal hierarchy where the workers with longest serving
considered themselves as authoritative to order new workers, even if they are not
compatible still, they are justified. And the absence of allocating roles and
responsibilities contributes to management failure which ultimately results in
accident.

Task 6: Reporting the accident

Question 6 (a)
The accident must be reported to the supervisor or competent authority for following
reasons:
To comply with requirement: Under RIDDO law accidents are reportable. As the
contractor fall to the ground some of the baggage hits him and cried out in pain. In this
scenario the accident is reportable. To comply with this legal requirement, we must report
to legal authorities.

Answer sheet IG1-0034-ENG-OBE-V1 Jan24 © NEBOSH 2024 page 7 of 11

 To avoid enforcement and penalties: In order to avoid enforcement and penalties, the
accident should be reported. Regular review and update safety protocols and strictly
follows all relevant workplace safety regulations to ensure compliance.
Investigation and prevention: Reporting accidents is an important aspect for initiating
investigations and identifying root causes. As in the current scenario, there was no
evidence of reporting.
To gain advice from competent authorities: By reporting accident to competent
authority, the organisation may have chance of getting advice from competent authorities
through their investigation.
Insurance purpose: If a company avoids reporting accident to the competent authority,
there may be chance for cancellation of their insurance. Including workplace safety and
incidents it is important to maintain accurate records for insurance purposes.
For record keeping purposes: Records of previous accidents gives evidence to
address any potential hazards. Reporting in accordance with RIDDO law ensures taking
necessary actions to address potential hazards in the future.

Question 6 (b)
The following procedure would be followed by the contractor’s employer to notify the
competent authority:
Submission of report online by top management: Typically, online form which is
available at HSE (health and safety executive) is filled by the top management. The
contractor’s employer uses this platform and fill the required information such as date,
time, detail of employer, accident, place of accident, and detail of injury.
Reporting through call in case of sever injury: Immediate reporting of accident should
be submitted in the case of severe injury. The required time for reporting injury is within
10 days of accident.
Recording and notification: the employer should keep the record of report after
submitting it. The details of incidents can be recorded in the accident book or keep a
copy of online submission.
Inclusion of supporting documentation: As a part of RIDDO reporting, documents
such as statements from witnesses, photographs and medical reports are required. The
employer should compile and submit these documents with the report.

Task 7: Health and safety management roles and responsibilities

Question 7 (a)
The workers take reasonable care of their own safety and others as well according to the
ILO recommendation R164 article 16a. The supervisor was the responsible person to
allocate ALAs to the distribution points according to the competence level of workers. but
he assigned his duty to worker C who wasn’t competent for the role and by allocating
younger worker at the busiest zone increases the hazards associated with it.
Failure to communicate the arrival of contractor to the workers working at zone 3:
As evident from the scenario, the supervisor failed to communicate the presence of
contractor for the repair of faulty conveyor. Effective communication is fundamental
responsibility to avoid potential risk and also helps to take care of own safety and others
safety as well.
Inadequate supervision provided to the contractor: As mentioned in the scenario, the
supervisor failed to provide supervision to the contractor while he was repairing the faulty
conveyor. It was his responsibility to adequately manage the contractor and arrange
other supervisor during his absence.
Implementation of buddy system for young and new employees: Providing support
to young employees creates a positive working environment. In the scenario, one of the
worker asked the worker B to accept the negative behaviour of worker C, which ultimately
leads to affect the performance. Buddy system should be introduced to improve the
wellbeing of the employee so they can work in positive and supportive environment.

Question 7 (b)
Tow truck speed limit violation: According to the ILO recommendation R164 article
16a, the worker should take reasonable steps for their own safety and others as well. In
the scenario, the worker B did not comply with this rule. The worker B put himself and the
contractor at potential risk due to over speeding to save time to complete task in time.
This shows that the worker B did not fulfil the responsibilities.
Failure to use safety device correctly: The aim of the article 16c of ILO
recommendation R164 is to use safety devices and PPE correctly. Worker B couldn’t
secure the baggage as it falls out due to the trip of cart including the accident of the
contractor. This shows that improper use of safety equipment.
Neglecting health and safety procedures: According to the ILO recommendation R164
article 16b, the workers should comply with the instructions given by the organisation on
health and safety and of others. The worker B didn’t comply with safety procedures as he
preferred to drive the truck in speed to complete the task in time.
Reporting of hazardous situations to the supervisor: In accordance with the ILO
recommendation R164 article 16d, the worker should report the potential hazard to their
immediate supervisor. The worker C failed to communicate the safety concerns of worker
B, which shows lack of reporting of hazardous situations to the supervisor. This shows
violation of responsibilities by the worker C.
Failure to report accidents: The article 19e of ILO recommendation R164 ensures that
the worker report any injury or accident occur at work. After the accident, the worker B
should report the accident to the supervisor and emergency services. But he failed to do
so which shows that neglecting of their responsibilities.

Task 8: Emergency procedures in practice

Question 8 (a)
In the scenario, there are several aspects of the emergency management that depicted
positive elements are as follows:

Answer sheet IG1-0034-ENG-OBE-V1 Jan24 © NEBOSH 2024 page 9 of 11

 Quick and immediate response: Based on the scenario, when the accident occur the
worker immediately informed the supervisor and first aid worker as well. Also, the
supervisor upon hearing the incident quickly cordon off the area and ordered to clear
fallen baggage. This shows positive aspect of emergency management.
Availability of first aid: The first aider presents on the duty immediately respond and
attended the injured contractor. This prompt response of first aider contributes positively
to the well being of the injured contractor and shows positive element of management as
well.
Contact emergency service: The first aider communicated affectively with the
emergency services and ensure appropriate care provided to the contractor.
Communicating timely with emergency services reduces severity of critical injury as they
provide service quickly. This shows positive aspect of emergency management.
Preservation of area: The supervisor cordon off the accident area to prevent any
potential hazards such as entry of tow truck, which shows proactive approach. By doing
this it protects workers from additional risk. This shows positive aspect of emergency
management.
Removal of distress worker from accident scene: The supervisor removes worker B
as he started to panic due to the situation. Once the worker B calmed down, he sent
home by the supervisor. This improves the wellbeing of worker B who was involved in the
incident. This reflects positive aspect of emergency management.
Effective response to emergency: The supervisor sent the injured contractor to the
nearby hospital for the treatment of fractured wrist and bruising across the body. By doing
this, the supervisor effectively managed the emergency situation and reduces any further
damage to the contractor. This decision is important in assuring medical assistance and
reflects positive aspect of emergency management.

Question 8 (b)
Deputy supervisor: In the absence of supervisor, a system should be established to
designate deputy or acting supervisor. Based on the scenario, the worker C selected to
serve as unofficial deputy director, but it should be a person who is fully trained in
handling emergency situation and ability to make important decision.
Emergency response team: An emergency team should be available to handle
emergency response and it should contain competent personnel who are specialized to
handle emergencies. Duties such as supervising, administering first aid, and handling
emergency personnel should be assigned to the team.
Clear communication channels: To ensure effective communication, protocols should
be developed so the workers can quickly and effectively communicate during
emergencies, which is crucial in such situations.
Define roles and responsibilities: In case of emergencies, roles and responsibilities
should be defined and assigned to a person in the absence of supervisor. This can be
done beforehand during the emergency training or drills.
Ensure visibility of emergency contact: In case of back up, a list of emergency contact
of key personnel should be displayed on different locations. Make sure that all employees
are well aware of how to access this information quickly in case of emergency.
