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.
