PART 1
1. Pitstop is owned by Jim Murphy and has been running their business successfully from past
twenty five years. But in recent eight months, company has been able to open nine stores across
various areas in Victoria, NSW and Queensland. Pitstop service provide 24 hours services to
their customers and deals in products and services like fuel, oil, gas, goods, cold drinks and hot
pies. But as the company goes, Jim has been facing various issues like absenteeism, poor work
and health environment, low motivation of employees etc. Pitstop is currently employing 60
employees who include store managers and workers working under them.
2. Requirements of WHS management in Pitstop is necessary and important for company to
continue their successful streak as current working environment of the firm is hampering their
performance in a negative way (Souza and Alves, 2018).
A) From the past 6 months, Jim had faced issues like fuel spill, fire in rubbish bin, falling stock
in reserve, burns, fatigue legs etc which is clear sign of unhealthy working environment. All
these incidents indicate that Pitstop needs to implement new WHS management in their
workplace so that their productivity and performance would remain same for longer period of
time.
B) All the responsibilities and accountabilities set by the WHS must be comply by employees,
managers and management so that collective effort would be done for creating healthy working
environment.
C) Pitstop is not possessed with advanced risk management and procedures due to which they
could not be able to avoid these incidents. For instance, while making pies, Jim must ensure that
proper equipment has been used by the employee which is not the case in this scenario (Darabont
and et al., 2017).
D) There are no proper recording keep instruments and skills in the working place which will
assist company to record their transactions or daily activities on continuous basis.
E) Employees requires extensive training in various fields like using of equipment’s or to follow
procedures set by local government (Darabont, Antonov and Bejinariu, 2017).
3. Main concern of Jim regarding his venture is to reduce the risk or life taking incidents
happening around the company after they expanded. Owner concern is to bring effective WHS
management system so that healthy environment would be maintained by them. Manager

concern regarding company is that they does not have proper employees strength as compare to
the work they have right now so in simpler terms, lack of human resources. Employee’s
concerned is related to lack of training and development sessions as they are not getting it in
timely manner.
4. Various proposals for design of WHSMS is as follows,
 Continuous training and development sessions to employees
 Compliance with rules and regulations set by local authority
 To comply with responsibilities set by NHS by everyone i.e., employees, managers, and
management
 Fire extinguisher at every place to avoid any kind of burn
 Proper health and safety kit or first aid at any site of firm
5. WHS policy of Pitstop Ply Limited
 Work life balance must be marinated by owner and proper rest must be given to fatigue
employees any time at workplace
 Proper break time must be assigned to every employees where they can rest and eat food
 ISS smoking policy must be carry forward as company cannot intervene in employees
personal life.
 Harassment, bullying and sexual harassment will be strictly prohibited for men as well as
women. Any person who is guilty will be given strict punishment which includes 10,000
dollar fine.
6.
 Amanda Kaisig was not sure about the way of management work from the past 8 months
as they were not concentrating on employees work and healthy environment. Moreover,
there is lack of human resources in the firm due to which extra pressure is bear by every
other employee. So to resolve this, more recruitment must be done by the management
according to the skills and capabilities required so that equal or no pressure would be
bear by everyone. Apart from this, regular training and development session must be
given to employees so that they can enhance their productivity over time thus higher
motivation (Li and Guldenmund, 2018).
 Workers trust on management has been lost due to their behaviour towards them from
past many months. So firstly, proper communication between Jim and employees must be
