1 Principles to Control WHS Risks
2
Topic 1: Providing advice on WHS principles

3
Safe design principles are implemented to control workplace health and

safety (WHS) risks, related to injuries, incidents, disease, and fatalities.

Topic 1: Insert topic title
4
ACTIVITY: DISCUSS
Consider your own work area, whether it is at college, your home, or the workplace.
Choose one product that you use for your job. List down the type of WHS risks relating
to the safe design of the product.

5
It is important to provide advice so that those involved in any aspect of

the product lifecycle clearly understands their duties in relation to
controlling and managing risks, compliance obligations, and what the
consequences may be if this is not successfully applied.

6
THE PRODUCT LIFECYCLE

The lifecycle of a product are the stages that a product is most likely to
experience.

RESIDUAL WHS RISK REGISTER

A risk register is used to identify any potential risk and includes each
identified risk, the nature of the risk, level of impact, responsibility and the
risk mitigation measures to respond to it.

51
ACTIVITY: DEVELOP
1. Download the risk register template from WorkSafe Qld.
Document:
https://www.worksafe.qld.gov.au/safety-fundamentals/managing-risks/template
2. Draft an email advising on why a residual WHS risk register should be established.
Relate this to the design phase of the product lifecycle and suggest who would
benefit from using the document further down the lifecycle stages.
3. Using a spreadsheet, demonstrate how you can calculate risk levels so that they
can be assessed.

52
MONITORING
• Part of the WHS risk management process includes monitoring and
review.
• You need to continually monitor the effectiveness of risk controls
throughout the design and as it evolves, to identify and manage any
potential WHS hazards and risks arising during the product lifecycle.

53
ACTIVITY: DEVELOP
Refer to the case study.
How would you monitor the design process of the product to manage any potential
WHS hazards and risks that may arise throughout its lifecycle?
Discuss with your trainer.

54
PROCUREMENT AND WHS RISKS

When making purchases for products being developed, or for existing
products or modifications of products, there must be procurement
systems that support the minimisation of WHS risks of products
purchased.

55
ACTIVITY: DISCUSS
Consider possible WHS hazards that relate to the purchasing of new equipment.
Reflect on the case study and purchasing equipment. What type of risks could the
business be exposed to when making purchases?
Discuss your response with your trainer.

56
ACTIVITY: READ
Read the following guidance on procurement (this relates to government procurement;
however, the information is relevant.

58
SAFE DESIGN APPROACHES

• You would have to advise on carrying out a safe design approach in
the design brief or draft specifications to minimise hazards and the
associated risks.
• A safe design approach can be documented in a design brief, draft
specifications or any planning documentation.

59
ACTIVITY: DEVELOP

60
Topic 3: Advising on consultation

61
To remain compliant with WHS legislation, business operators have a

duty to consult with workers.
This topic covers supporting decision makers in the consultation process
for WHS and the involvement of technical expects as required.

62
ACTIVITY: READ
Read the following information from SafeWork on the obligations surrounding a duty to
consult for WHS matters.

to-consult

63
ACTIVITY: WATCH
Watch the following video on consulting for WHS.
Video: https://www.mangolive.com/blog-mango/how-to-consult-for-whs
Write down your key takeaways.

64
It is important to advise on the consultation arrangements, which must be

clearly planned during all the phases of the design process.

65
ACTIVITY: READ
Refer to Safe Work Australia’s guidance on the principles of safe design at work,
reviewing the information on consultation.
Website:
https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/system/files/documents/1702/guidanceontheprin
ciplesofsafedesign_2006_pdf.pdf

66
CONSIDERING THE NEEDS OF USERS

To ensure the health and safety of users of the product, a designer must
understand different aspects of the users themselves.

67
ACTIVITY: DEVELOP

68
TECHNICAL EXPERTS
• You may need to facilitate the involvement of technical experts.
• The way in which technical experts are involved will largely depend
upon organisational processes and procedures.

69
ACTIVITY: DEVELOP

70
CONSULTATION WITH PERSONNEL

Consultation is a central feature of risk management because involving
the people who do the work in identifying hazards and deciding how to
control risks is the most effective way to manage workplace health and
safety.

71
ACTIVITY: READ
Read about the WHS model code of practice relating to consultation.
Document:
https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/doc/model-code-practice-work-health-and-safety-
consultation-cooperation-and-coordination

72
ACTIVITY: DEVELOP

73
COMMUNICATING RESIDUAL WHS RISKS

As the product cycles through each stage of its lifecycle, the risks could
be less or greater for the users, depending on how it has been changed
or modified from each stage. Here is the importance of ensuring that the
residual risks are communicated and understood.

74
ACTIVITY: READ
Read more on communicating residual WHS risks throughout a product’s life cycle.
