Identify, assess and control risks in a cyber cafe workplace

This assessment task for BSBWHS501 - Ensure a safe workplace involves identifying hazards in a cyber cafe workplace, assessing the risks using a risk matrix and rating table, and creating a risk treatment plan and residual risk control plan. The hazards identified include physical, psycho-social, biological, chemical, ergonomic and environmental hazards. The risk treatment plan involves actions such as relaying electric cables, draining stagnant water, using gloves during ink and toner refilling, and purchasing comfortable chairs for workers. The residual risk control plan involves monitoring the actions taken to control the risks.

Hazard identification table
Workplace description
Cyber café where the computers are installed and the connecting cables run on the floor
under the table with some cables loosely fit on the computers.
Hazard
category
Identified Hazard
(Any specific area, equipment, situation and/or
activity that has the potential to cause harm,
injury, illness to workers or damage to property)
Method/technique used to
identify hazard
(Take a look back (review past records)/ talk
to workers/ inspect (walk around)/ review
specifications/ think creatively etc.)
1 Physical
hazards
Tripping to the floor by the spread cables on
the floor.
Inspection
2 Psycho-social
hazards
Stress from work overload Engagement of workers in a
conversation
3 Biological
hazards
Mosquitos Talk to workers
4 Chemical
hazards
Cartridge ink and toner Take a look back
5 Ergonomics
hazards and
Awkward sitting posture Inspection
6 Environmental
hazards
Electric shock and tripping to the ground Inspection and talk with the
workers

Assessment of risks / analyse risks
Risks will be analysed using two risk variables such as Likelihood of risk occurring and Consequences
if the risk occurred
Likelihood of risk occurring
Likelihood Description
Very likely Tripping: Because the cyber café room is filled with scattered
connecting cables on the floor there is high possibility of workers
tripping and sustaining injuries.
Likely Stress: Work overload in the cyber as a result of handling too much at
the same time at times of service delivery to customers.
Less likely Electric shock: Spread unidentified naked cables on the floor and
under the working tables.
Rarely Vision problems
Unlikely Catastrophic incidences
Impact of risk occurring
Impact/consequence Description
Major injuries When workers sprain their joints or have any form of physical
injuries, they might be absent from work to seek medical attention
thus time wastage
Moderate Stress in the place of work reduce efficiency of workers in their
activities.
Minor Too much electric shock to workers might make workers fall sick and
thus absent from work seeking medical attention.
Insignificant Come from tiresomeness as a result of working with the computer
they include; wrist pains, back pains etc.

Risk rating table
Risk
rating
Definition of risk level Immediacy of risk controls and Level of actions required
1 High risks (tripping) Clearing the cables from the floor and relaying them in a
more decent and environment friendly way
2 Medium risks (stress) Creating a good rapport with the colleagues and being time
cautious
3 Low risks (electric shocks) Insulating all naked electric current currying cables
4 Very low risks (tiresomeness) Providing breaks between work at some intervals
