Answer in 50-100 words.
All risks can be controlled and it is always possible to do something, such as stopping the activity
or providing instruction to those exposed to the risk. Therefore I’ll conducting a meeting with staff
and explain them how much it is important to follow health and safety procedures and taking
shortcuts can lead to serious injury and I’ll also remind them about the “WHS Act section 28”,
workers have a duty to take reasonable care for their own health and safety and to not adversely
affect the health of other person. Moreover, ensure that appropriate resources and processes to
eliminate or minimise risks to health and safety.
Heavy load, awkward, sustained postures and repetitive actions can cause sprains, strains, back
injuries or fractures and cuts if dropped on foot. I’ll stop him at that point and will explain him how
to lift properly by not hurting himself and moreover, if the load is heavy then he can ask someone
for help as it will make it easier to lift.

(Student Assessment Pack)
A. The six control methods to reduce the chances of accidents or injuries are:
1. Elimination: it means discounting dangerous work practices, removing dangerous
substances, or introducing new equipment.
2. Substitution: this is where hazard is replaced with something less dangerous.
3. Isolation: this is when risk of harm is minimised by restricting and preventing access to
the hazard.
4. Engineering measures: when hazard cannot be eliminated, substituted, or isolated,
equipment and work processes are improved through engineering solutions to reduce
risk.
5. Administrative control: this is where policies, rules, or changes to the way a company
and workers operate are used to reduce risks.
6. PPE: it doesn’t control the hazard at its source it also relies on correct use of its
success; therefore it is the least preferred option.
B. Control measures need regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure they remain
effective. It is important to decide what is right when implementing the control and
establish a schedule for routine checks and maintenance appropriate to the controls. A risk
register identifying the hazards can be prepared, identifying the hazards, what actions
needs to be taken, who will be responsible for taking the actions and by when.

Question 14. You have conducted a meeting with your team members and management on WHS
practices. Some of the staff members have raised some issues in WHS practices in workplace. Discuss
the methods that you will adopt to resolve and refer these WHS issues to the appropriate person.
Write your answer in 100-150 words.
During the meeting I’ll try to understand what potential risk is the staff sharing and then based on
the information I’ll assess the risk by documenting it in the following terms:
How severe is the risk, -
Whether any existing control measure are effective
What actions can I take to control the risk and,
How urgent the action needs to be taken.
Moreover, It is important to identify which workers are at risk exposure. And after assessing all the
information the person conducting the business or undertaking should discuss with staf the most
appropriate solution as their involvement will increase the level of acceptance of any change that
may be needed to the way they do their job.
Question 15. Discuss the importance and methods to analyse health, safety and security reports in
order to provide reliable and timely input into the management of workplace, health, safety and
security. Answer in 100-150 words.
It is important to provide a reliable and timely input in relation to the WHS report because delay in
prioritising can have high-consequence outcomes that can be associated with greater financial,
operational and reputational business risk. Moreover, it is important to consider both “people
safety” and “process safety” hazards. And thus, analysing the risk closely and concluding the
effectiveness of the hazard to the workers can result in more precaution full approach by the
workers
Question 16. What is ‘carbon footprint’? Discuss the strategies to reduce carbon footprint by
minimizing printing and maximizing electronic transmission? Explain your answer in 100-150 words.
A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases emission, including carbon dioxide
generated by an individual, event, organisation, service or product expressed as carbon dioxide
equivalent. Strategies to reduce carbon foot by minimising printing and maximising electronic
transmission can be as simple as, to exchange documents and ideas, emails may be used. Just
make sure to print the emails that you really need a hard copy otherwise use bookmarks to save
it or use a hard drive to have a printed web page, and pull it up when needed.

• Risk assessment and control
• WHS policy and procedure induction
• WHS representative or committee
1. Risk assessment and control: Risk assessment is a proactive process that helps in
respond to change and facilitate continuous improvement for risk in conducting
business. It involves determining
how severe a risk is,
whether any existing control measures are effective
what action you should take to control the risk,
how urgently the action needs to be taken
Taking actions to eliminate health and safety risks should always be the aim but if that is not
possible, minimising the risk should reasonably practicable.
2. WHS policy and procedure induction: The type and number of policies, procedure and
processes vary depending on the nature of work and the hazards. It is basically a written
statement of how your workplace is committed to achieving a safe and healthy
workplace. It is important that these policies should be developed in consultation with
workers and clearly outline the roles and responsibilities of management and workers to
achieve compliance with WHS legislation

RP 1: Inspect the workplace area on a daily basis and monitor ongoing compliance with
organisational WHS procedures and safe work practices. You are required to monitor day-to-
day effectiveness of WHS practices in workplace in order to maintain health, safety and
security of personnel. If you see any work as non-compliance for WHS practices, you need to

procedures.
RP 2: As you were completing your inspection, two staff members come to you and notify you that
one of the staff member has had a fallbecause of spills and loose wires. His feet got caught in
wires and he slipped, and this has caused bleeding from his nose and forehead. You notice
that some team members are not stacking the shelves correctly and according to work safety
procedures in the storeroom. You have just seen some heavy items stored on top. You are
looking through the WHS incident reports and notice that many of the forms are difficult to
read due to the illegibility of the handwriting. It is really important for anyone to be able to
read these documents in order to analyse the information in them. As a manger, you need to
resolve these issues and refer to the relevant authority.

runway.
Regardless of height, if a worker can fall into or onto dangerous machines or equipment
(such as a vat of acid or a conveyor belt) employers must provide guardrails and toe-
boards to prevent workers from falling and getting injured.
Other means of fall protection that may be required on certain jobs include safety harness
and line, safety nets, stair railings and hand rails
