ASSESSMENT 1 – Report on WHS Policies & Procedures

BSBWHS401 – Student Assessment Pack
For this task, you are required to identify and research a business’s Workplace Health & Safety
practices, then write a 600 words report that states why WHS is good business. If you are working in a
business, then this report is to focus on your current employer.
Details:
You will need to consider the type of business you are researching best practices for, as your report will
differ subject to the industry and risk level of each business. You could make good use of statistical
information and graphical representations. Make reference to, and give examples of, any specific
areas in where WHS practices and compliance need up-grading (based on industry levels)
Your suggested area of improvement could, for instance, relate to ongoing information dissemination,
training, inadequacies in existing risk control measures in accordance with the hierarchy of control, or to
improving the training format so they are less boring – etc.
Do not even consider stating that your all WHS & workplace practices are so good that they do not
need improvement. Everything can be improved!!
When addressing the statement that Workplace Health & Safety is good business, consider the
concepts of loyalty, caring, trust and honesty, relationship building, employee satisfaction, customer,
shareholder and stakeholder satisfaction.
Be sure to also discuss the application of relevant Workplace Health & Safety legislative frameworks
relevant to your business.

prevention measures which employees should follow in case there
is a fire break out or an electric default.
WHS Legislation This organization has no written Workplace Health and Safety
measure which is very important in inspecting and administering
health and safety measures in an organisation. It should also train
its employees on this and avail the information to them.
Risk control
methods utilised
The risk controlled utilised in this organization is that employees
have been provided with a clean working environment with correct
equipments and working space which is clean and up to standard,

ASSESSMENT 3 – Job Safety Analysis (JSA)
Job Safety Analysis (JSA) simply means looking at the work task and considering what is the safest way to
complete it. It is a way of becoming aware of the hazards involved in doing the job and taking action to prevent
an injury.
The JSA process is suitable for different trades do different tasks, and need not require enormous amounts of
time or use endless pieces of paper
Using the Job Safety Analysis developed by VWA, you are to undertake a hazard and risk assessment of a
designated area or process within your workplace or college.
Be sure to:
 Document the activity: Assemble those involved in the activity and then, using the JSA worksheet,
write down the tasks that make up the activity, step by step.
 Identify the hazards: Next to each task, identify what part of the task may cause injury to those doing
the work or to anyone else nearby.
 Document the control measures: For each identified hazard, list the measures that need to be put in
place to eliminate or minimise any likely risk of injury to those involved. You are to also indicate the
cost associated with each control
 Identify who is responsible: Document the name of the person responsible for implementing the
control measure.
 Implement the control measures where practicable.
Remember
 The JSA provides a written record of the process to be used to proceed on a task. As it is a record that
can be used in court, it should be signed off by the parties who have responsibility for the tasks.
 The JSA is only a written record. Management processes must be in place to ensure workers have the
skills to complete the job and that there is a required level of supervision to ensure the tasks are
completed as documented.
 The JSA should be completed by all employees involved in the activity, not just the principal contractor
or supervisor.

Questions
1 What steps can you take to ensure people from different cultures have access to and
understand Workplace Health & Safety information?
Workplace Health &Safety information helps reduce sickness and injury cases among everyone
around the job place from employers to employees and to customers and clients visiting the work
premise. The first step to take is to conduct an effective health and safety training to everyone on
appropriate work procedures and practices to prevent future possible accidents and
contaminations that may result to illnesses. Workplace health and safety information should be
published and advertised everywhere to the masses in order for everyone to be well versed with
what is supposed to be done and what is expected out of them.
Version Date: May 2017 Page 14 of 31

BSBWHS401 – Student Assessment Pack
2 Outline 3 different ways you can alert people to potential hazards and risks in the workplace.
1. Produce hazard warning labels pointing ot any dangerous situation at the workplace.
2. Use symbols to indicate specific warnings e.g flammable, toxic
3. Conduct a training on safe working procedures and train on the hazards and risks
associated.
3
Describe how you would measure and evaluate an organisations Workplace Health & Safety
system. Be sure to outline the benchmarks you would evaluate the system against, including
specific legislative and legal requirements.
An organization that has an effective workplace health and safety system has a better ability to
identify hazards and risks and therefore easier for it to develop effective control measures. An
effective system should have a safety plan, well stated policies, procedures and processes, a
training and induction guide, and also an appropriate monitoring, supervision and reporting guide.
Version Date: May 2017 Page 15 of 31

BSBWHS401 – Student Assessment Pack
4
Outline a strategy that you could implement to interest people / employees in Workplace
Health & Safety legislation. Be sure to detail how you would maintain the currency of
information provided
Every employee should be updated on the urgency of the Health and Safety system
training so as to be aware an the dangers and risks involved in his/her job position and
the entire workplace as a whole in order for the employee to be able to protect
themselves. This should be done periodically to demonstrate a well understanding of the
safety measures.
Version Date: May 2017 Page 16 of 31

BSBWHS401 – Student Assessment Pack
5
Outline a strategy that could be used to ensure participatory arrangements are established
and maintained with employees and their representatives within a small business. Be sure to
include how you would document this process and make the information available to all
employees to ensure you meet Workplace Health & Safety legislative requirements.
Participatory arrangements can be done by reviewing policies and procedures, providing
consultation and issuing resolutions, debriefing critical incidents, and making sure employees
are taking up formal roles in the health and safety arrangements.
6 Outline the process you would use to ensure that any issues raised through participative
arrangements and consultations are dealt with and resolved promptly and effectively?
Regularly review issues that would result from the participative arrangement and take
appropriate actions. The results should be reported to the board of management for
immediate cause of actions.
Version Date: May 2017 Page 17 of 31

BSBWHS401 – Student Assessment Pack
7
You are to detail how you would identify an intervention point for expert Workplace Health &
Safety advice. Be sure to provide examples of when you would seek expert advice, and who
you would contact to receive such advice.
An intervention point is reached when the risk faced is beyond control at the hierarchy of
controls of the risks facing the organization. The hierarchy of controls involves elimination,
substitution, isolation, administrative controls and Personal Protective Equipment. When the
risk you are facing cannot be controlled by any of these measures, be sure to consult an
expert which could be the state and local government authorities or a private consultant.
8 Outline the WHS / OHS Hierarchy of Control, explaining how it affects WHS
1. Eliminate
Find out the cause of the risk and remove/avoid it completely.
2. Substitute
Find an alternative replacement.
3. Isolate
Separate the hazard from people/things around it if it may cause harm.
4. Engineer controls
Look for possible prevention measures e.g. redesigning a machine.
5. Administrative controls.
This is done at administrative level e.g shuffling job responsibilities among employees
6. Personal Protective Equipment.
Includes providing employees with protective gadgets e.g. gloves.
This hierarchy helps WHS to understand the different levels of control that prevent
any risks to the health and safety of employees in an organization and everyone else.

A CarFix workshop owner agreed to allow a service person from Tipple Industries to conduct
an assessment of, and service to, 3 hydraulic hoists. The hoists were in constant use,
elevating vehicles for mechanical repairs and maintenance, in the mechanics workshop. This
was a commercial business serving the general public. There were 4 employees working in
the workshop.
None of the hoists had been serviced in the last 4 years. The minimum industry requirement is
that they should be serviced yearly.
The service person from Tipple, who was an experienced hydraulic technician, duly conducted
the assessments and was able to fully service two of the hoists. However, when he assessed
the third hoist, the braking system, some of the cables and various other components were so
worn and damaged that the technician felt the machinery was extremely unsafe and could not
be serviced without extensive repairs. The workshop owner refused to contemplate paying for
extra repair work. The technician's assessment, however, had led him to believe that unless
repairs were instigated immediately the hoist would be a danger to the employees who used it.
He discussed this with the employees who said that their employer would not care - that he
would disregard safety requirements and make them use the hoist. They asked the technician
if there was anything he could do.
Regardless of the requests from the employees the technician felt that he had no choice but to
lock out the hoist and place the appropriate signage on the equipment. At this the workshop
owner became angry and abusive and stated that he would remove the lockout tags and
continue using the equipment. He rang the manager of Tipple Industries and complained that
the service technician had acted improperly. He cut off the lock-out tags and insisted his
employees continue using the hoist.
A few days later, while a car was on the damaged hoist, the braking cables failed completely.
The front end of the hoist tilted and the customer's car fell, damaging the car, the workshop,
other machinery and injuring two workers. Injuries to the workers were relatively minor -
abrasions, bruises, cuts, a broken finger and a torn shoulder muscle; however, this was more
due to luck than anything else.
9A What are the duty of care components applicable to this case?
According to ( Rhee, R.J 2012) the duty of care component here is that the owner of the CarFix
workshop has a duty to ensure that all the equipments at his work place including the hydraulic
hoists are in a good working condition to avoid them causing harm to his employees who regularly
use them.
Another duty of care is by the hired service person from Tipple after discovering that one hydraulic
hoist was in a dangerous state to use, he should warn the employees and the owner from using it
because it was hazardous.
Version Date: May 2017 Page 19 of 31

BSBWHS401 – Student Assessment Pack
9B Is there a duty of care breach evident here? If yes, by whom (explain your judgement)
There is a breach to duty of care according to Spamann (2016) by the owner of CarFix workshop
because he removed lock out tags from a spoilt machine and instructed on its continued use which
after some few days caused damages and injuries to two of his employees.
9C What are the likely repercussions of this incident, under Workplace Health & Safety legislation
and in regard to worker and customer reactions?
The likely repercussion here is that the injured employees and the owner of the car which has
been damaged should sue the owner of CarFix workshop to a court of law for due justice to
be undertaken.
9D Was this a foreseeable accident? Explain your answer
This was a foreseeable accident because the service man from Tipple had warned on the bad
condition of the hydraulic hoist and had cautioned against its use. This is according to (Helmreich &
Merritt (2017) definition of a foreseeable accident.
Version Date: May 2017 Page 20 of 31

BSBWHS401 – Student Assessment Pack
9E What should or could have been done to prevent this accident?
To prevent this accident the owner of CarFix workshop could have accepted the extensive
repair as stated by the experienced service person no matter how costly it could be.
Alternatively he could have banned the use of the unrepaired machine completely.
10
In a large manufacturing and assembly operation an employee was required to use a
pneumatic multispindle nut runner to tighten wheel nuts. The operation required the worker to
adopt an uncomfortable static posture for fairly long periods of time.
In addition, oil leakage from the machinery was a constant problem. The operator reported this
problem to the supervisor who agreed to resource maintenance. However, management cut
backs to the maintenance budget meant that time and personnel were unavailable. Absorbent
material (sawdust) was provided and the employee was instructed to use it to soak up the oil
leakage on the floor and around the machinery.
The supervisor was then advised, by the Plant manager that expected production quotas had
been increased. These quotas would take effect within a week. The supervisor informed the
work group of the quota change during a communications meeting. At the meeting, and in
response to the information, the operators expressed a need for additional staff to meet the
quotas and a need for maintenance of tools and machinery.
Temporary additional staff were employed 2 days prior to implementation of the new quota.
A new worker, who was assigned to the multi-spindle nut runner task, received no formal
induction because the supervisor, due to work pressure, was unable to take the time. In order
for new quotas to be met the operation speed of the multi-nut spindle had to be increased.
Subsequently oil build up around the runner increased. The new worker did not have the time
to apply the absorbent material around the machine.
This is obviously an accident waiting to happen.
Version Date: May 2017 Page 21 of 31

BSBWHS401 – Student Assessment Pack
10A What do you think is likely to happen?
There was an oil spillage in the premise because the new worker did not have time to apply
the absorbent material around the machine.
10B List the hazards evident in this situation.
1. There is a risk of physical injury to workers in the premise.
2. There is a risk of fire which can be caused by the spillage
3. The oil can also run out and cause environmental pollution.
10C How would you rate them in terms of risk?
This hazards can be termed as high level risks because the event which is likely to occur is more
harmful.
Version Date: May 2017 Page 22 of 31

BSBWHS401 – Student Assessment Pack
10D What behaviours and problems are contributing to the potential accident situation?
The problems contributing to the potential accident situation is the failure to repair a machine which
had an oil leakage problem. Also the supervisor failed to conduct an orientation to a new employee
on how to use the faulty machine.
10E How could and should these be addressed – and at what levels should they be addressed?
This problem should be addressed at the managerial level by the owner of the firm. He/she
should completely fix the faulty machine by calling for a repair and also making sure that all
other machines are serviced and properly maintained to avoid future hazards.
10F Who should address them – that is, who holds the duty of care?
The number one person who owns the duty of care in this case is the plant manager who should
warn the employees of any faulty equipments in his workplace
Version Date: May 2017 Page 23 of 31

BSBWHS401 – Student Assessment Pack
10G What actions can or should the employees take?
Appropriate action to be taken by the employees is to find out whether the plant manager and
the management of the firm are aware of workplace health and safety systems and if it is
there it should be put into practice.
The employees can sue the Plant manager for breaching a duty of care due to negligence.
11 What are the roles and responsibilities of employers relating to WHS?
It is the duty of an employer to protect the health and safety of his/her employees. (Holt &
Allen, 2015). This includes the following roles:
1. Ensuring the workplace is safe and protected from anything that can cause harm.
2. Employers should assess the risks involved in their work environment.
3. Employers should avail the information about the risks involved in the job and also share
on the methods of handling the risks.
4. Employers must consult their employees either directly or indirectly on the risks they go
through while on duty.
5. Employers should avail safety information to their employees.
