Question 1
1. Lack of Concern for Workers' Well-being: The warehouse management, including
the WM, appears to prioritize productivity and efficiency over the safety and well-
being of the workers. This is evident in the WM's reaction to the accident, showing
a lack of empathy for the injured FLT driver and a dismissive attitude toward
worker concerns.
2. Failure to Address Safety Concerns: Workers had been raising safety concerns,
including time pressure and safety issues, for months, but their concerns were
ignored. This demonstrates a disregard for the safety of the workforce and a
failure to take proactive measures to address potential hazards.
3. Neglecting Training and Safety Measures: The warehouse lacks a dedicated health
and safety officer, and the WM has been delaying safety measures such as
repainting traffic route lines. This negligence in providing proper training and
maintaining safety standards puts workers at risk.
4. Blaming the Victim: Blaming the FLT driver entirely for the accident without
considering the role of inadequate safety measures or training is morally
unacceptable. This approach fails to recognize that accidents can often result
from systemic issues rather than individual errors.
Question 2
1. Safety Information: The induction includes videos covering essential safety topics
such as fire safety, manual handling, and what to do in an emergency. This
provides new workers with crucial knowledge to ensure their safety in the
workplace.
2. Access Control: The use of ID card access and an intercom system for visitors
demonstrates a security measure to control access to the facility, ensuring that
only authorized personnel can enter.
5. They spend of the first day talking with the WM and looking through paper work.
6. They introduce themselves, then explain that they will speak to everyone as a
group, there is an intercom system to ring for non card holders.
7. Visitors who are excepted will be escorted while inside the building and unexcepted
visitors are denied entrance.
8. On your first day of employment the supervisor on duty gives you a quick tour of
the building to start your induction, they make sure you know where the fire exit
are before rushing you into the smaller office.
9. Next to the TV is a collection of VHS video cassettes labelled: induction part 1 , part
2 – fire safety, part 3 – manual handling . part 4 – what to do in an emergency
10. The induction process provides new employees with an outline of the duties and
responsibilities of their role.
11. At this point, you might introduce them to their team. Give them training about
general site safety rules and regulation, they will get aware about their work
activity,
Question 3
1. the Warehouse Manager (WM) did not effectively demonstrate commitment to the
health and safety of the workers and the overall well-being of the warehouse.
Several factors indicate this lack of commitment:
2. Safety Concerns: The WM ignored safety concerns raised by workers, such as the
need for repainting traffic route lines and the overloading of racking near the loading
bay.
3. Lack of a Health and Safety Officer: The warehouse had been trying to hire a health
and safety officer for years, indicating a failure to prioritize safety management.
5. Insensitive Response: The WM's insensitive comments when the FLT driver was in a
coma and blamed the driver entirely for the accident demonstrate a lack of empathy
and responsibility.

Question 5 (a)
Organizational factors have the greatest inrluence on individual and group behaviour,
Organizations need to establish their own positive health and safety culture. The culture
need to promote employee involvement and commitment at all levels emphasizing that
deviation from established health and safety standards is not acceptable.
1. Safety culture of the organization : a negative culture will influence the worker to
behave negatively.
3. Lack of training: the FLT driver was not trained, they did not have induction training
bout FL. Inadequate training or insufficiently trained personnel can increase the
likelihood of accidents. If will trained and competent staff is not accomplishing the
task then it certainly affect the workers behaviour.
5. Poor supervision: WM is not available at workplace during the works goes on,
Inadequate supervision can result in employees taking risks or not following
safety procedures.
9. Inadequate risk assessment: Failing to identify and mitigate potential risks within an
organization can leave it vulnerable to accidents.
10. Lack of accountability: When individuals and teams are not held accountable for
safety lapses, it can create a culture where unsafe practices go unaddressed.
12. Work pattern : the shift start and end time, overtime or extended hours, the
weekly off between changes in shift can adversely affect the workers health and
cause fatigue and thereby affect the safety performance.
Question 5 (b)
People bring to their job personal attitudes, skill, habits and personalities which can be
strengths or weakness depending on the task demands
Fatigue: Workers who are tired or overworked may make mistakes or have slower
reaction times, increasing the risk of accidents.

regulations are more likely to engage in risky behaviour. The tendency to behave
in a particular way in a certain situation
Attitudes are influenced by the prevailing health and safety culture with in the
organisation the commitment of the management, the experience of the individual and
the influence of the peer group. Peer group pressure is particular important factor among
young people and health and safety training must be designed with this in mind by using
examples or case studies that are relevant to them.
Question 6
1. Identifying Patterns: By reviewing previous accidents, patterns or trends in unsafe
behaviors, equipment issues, or workplace conditions could have been identified.
This could include things like near-misses involving forklifts or issues related to
inadequate safety measures.
2. Root Cause Analysis: Investigating past accidents would have allowed the
organization to conduct a thorough root cause analysis. This analysis could reveal
the underlying factors contributing to accidents, such as inadequate training, lack of
maintenance, or systemic issues.
3. Corrective Actions: With a better understanding of the root causes, corrective actions
and preventive measures could have been implemented. For example, addressing
training deficiencies, improving equipment maintenance procedures, or reevaluating
warehouse layout and traffic management.
4. Training and Awareness: Knowledge gained from previous accidents could have
been used to enhance training programs for employees, particularly for forklift
operators. This could include reinforcing safety procedures and ensuring all workers
are aware of potential hazards.
6. Compliance: Investigating past accidents can help ensure compliance with safety
regulations and standards. It would allow the organization to identify any areas
where they are falling short of legal requirements.
7. Identifying recurring issues : analysing past accidents may reveal common factors
such as equipment failures, human errors, or environmental conditions that
contributed to accidents
8. Implementing safety measures : insights from previous accident can lead to the
implementation of new safety protocols, procedures, or technology to mitigate similar
risk in the future.
10. past accident may prompt regulatory authorities to enact new safety standards

employer's liability insurance policy. Failure to report could lead to coverage issues
or increased insurance costs.
12. Statistical Data: Reporting accidents contributes to the collection of workplace injury
statistics, which can be used to identify trends and patterns in workplace safety. This
data is valuable for government agencies and organizations focused on improving
occupational health and safety.
