Introduction
Garratt's Limited, is a company operating for over a century, listed on the Australian Stock
Exchange. This company owns and manages Australasia Group of Colleges -under which there are eight
colleges, seven in Australia and one in Singapore. Each college operates as a separate company having its
own licence to operate autonomously as an education institution. Two of these colleges are located in
Melbourne, one on Bourke Street and the other on Swanston Street.
Currently, Academies Australasia Polytechnic (AAPoly) Melbourne, the head office of which is
in the Bourke Street campus, has over 1000 students- a number which is growing every year. AAPoly
employs about 40 full time staffs and 40 teachers on a contractual basis. Previously, private computer
specialists from other organisations provided all IT required IT services. Recently, a new, centralised IT
Unit has been established in the Bourke Street office, which includes a Help Desk for the organization.
AAPoly Labs now have a staff of thirteen members who work in the new IT Unit.
Being a new unit, comprising staff that has not operated a Help Desk before, the people are not
aware of possible Work health and Safety (WHS) issues that may arise. One of the significant issues that
have arisen in an early stage is muscular fatigue, and an issue of concern for the department (Singh &
Sittig, 2016). This work is an attempt to analyse the WHS scenario of the office and create a WHS report
addressing the different issues.
