CPCCBC4002A – Manage occupational health and safety in the
building and construction workplace
Metharom Construction (MC) plans to become a leading provider of housing construction and
renovation services in the South-East Melbourne area. The company's overall strategy will be
based on a continuing improvement process of setting objectives, measuring results, and providing
feedback to facilitate further growth and progress. They have been involved in large scale
construction for 3 years and are now branching out to residential housing.
During this unit, you will need to take on the role of the site supervisor. Your responsibilities are to:
enforce site safety plans, ensure all tradespersons are inducted before they begin work, ensure
currency of project documentation, make changes to specifications to incorporate client
requirements, ensure that any contractors are complying with site rules and safe work method
statements, identify and correct hazards, ensure that the site is ready for each trade before they
arrive, and have frequent toolbox talks to ensure that WHS procedures are known and followed.
For more information regarding Metharom Construction, please see the appendices and company
policy documentation.
Assessment 1: Identify and treat risks relevant to the site, via a written report. (Maximum of
750 words)
In order to prevent the risks from affecting the construction site, create a report for management
that highlights potential risks and hazards of this build.
In order to do this, you will need to complete the following:
a) Identify a minimum of 5 risks and/or hazards related to the project, ensuring that you
consider multiple tasks that will need to be performed on-site
b) Prioritise the risks in order of most affect to least affect, using a qualitative method
c) Select the three risks with the most affect, and prepare a site safety plan to manage their
impact
This assessment is to be no more than 750 words.
1.1. Identification of specific risks for the range of occupations in the
workplace
Construction industry is considered as one of the high-risk industries, which has a significant
impact on occupational health & safety of workers. Although, it has seen that construction labours
and all associated workers mainly work at heights, with building and high equipment materials
(McLinton and et. al., 2018) (Bayram, 2018). So, such scenarios at sites, are plagued potentially by
dangerous situations as well as with poor working conditions. Workers are highly exposed towards
hazards which are difficult to quantify. In this regard, promote and maintain safety within workplace,
it is essential to obtain knowledge regarding with primary causes of fatalities help in assessing the
level of safety. But as there are number of job sites in constructions that have different procedures
or conditions, therefore, identifying source(s) which poses challenges or risks to OHS of workforce

remains critical (Gurmu, 2019). However, some sources that arise risks at workplace includes tasks
related with material handlings, unintended collapses, asbestos, airborne fibres and toxins etc.
Henceforth, contribution for implementing safe working conditions, detection of risks that have
greater potential to arise hazardous conditions and fatalities with workers, when they encounter
with the same is one of the main responsibility of site inspector (Suarez, Carvajal and Catalá Alís,
2018). Some of risks arise at construction are explained as below –
Slips, trips and falls
In any sector of organisations, range from heavy manufacturing companies to office works,
there is a high risk of slips, trips and falls. It creates serious consequences for the people working
there such as broken bones or other fatalities (Hassan and Esmail, 2018). Key causes of slips, trips
and consequences in construction includes obstacles, uneven surface, slippery or wet surface, etc.
Work at height –
Falls from height is another main causes behind fatal accidents within construction
industries, where such risks can be characterised into two main types - fall of workers while working
from height; and fall of heavy objects on those workers who work on ground at most construction
sites (Quaigrain and Issa, 2018). Therefore, in both conditions, consequences are considered as more
severe greater when falling from height. Falls occur generally from the unguarded edges or might
from openings at roof work, via fragile materials of construction into excavations.
Risks related to gas –
Natural gas is generally distributed via network of distribution pipes and buried transmission.
Therefore, leaking of gas can occur as a result of failures of mains or due to accidental damage
(Montano, 2019). This may also happen from bulk storage tanks, smaller cylinders stored and more
on construction sites. In this regard, under such circumstances, such leakage may result in an
explosion fire or explosion.
Electrocution –
The major risks occur due to poorly maintenance of electricity equipment, work nearby
overhead power at OSHS is electrocutions, that results in severe injuries or sometime deaths also
(Uzun and Cebi, 2020). It may also cause due to unsuitable cables, electrical equipment within
explosive areas. In addition to this, untested worksite distribution boards as well as defective
protected devices also results in causing severe fatal accidents at workplace.
Material handlings –
Manually handling the construction materials, which involve tasks like lifting, holding,
lowering, pushing and pulling materials, carrying and loading etc. So, doing such kind of works at
sites arise a number of injuries that are bruises, punctures, broken bones, etc. In addition to this, the
most common issue that may arise due to improper handling of materials, is soft tissue damage,
which includes damage to ligaments, muscles, discs, cartilage or nerves (Gul and Ak, 2018). Typically,
injuries related to soft tissue affect shoulders, necks, elbows, wrists, arms, hands, hips, lower back

and more. Furthermore, intensity of such injury might also vary, with potential of permanent
disability from mild to moderate discomfort.
1.2 Legislative requirements for OHS and company policies in construction
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is regarded as one of such important document, which
is approved by a trained as well as competent OHS practitioner (Lingard and Wakefield, 2019).
Without a proper documentation, any contractor is not allowed to access or work on a construction
site as per legislations. So, considering this document aid site inspectors, to analyse what type of
OHS management plan has been taken by contractors. In addition to this, it also helps in evaluating
risk assessments made on prior basis, to analyse if workers during constructions was protected or
actions that have been taken in case of any fatalities (Al-Bayati, Abudayyeh and Albert, 2018). In
Australia, companies that engage in construction work develop organisational policies as per
legislation requirements, to mitigate risks and reduce occurrence of same at workplaces.
1.3 A risk register with risk controls to manage impact of hazardous in
workplace
For controlling risks and managing the impact of hazardous situations at workplace, OHS
guidance materials are mainly be used in Australian construction companies to help professionals in
development of risk management strategies to mitigate risks (Rebelo and et. al., 2019). As
mentioned above, electrocution, work at height, handling of materials and more, causes severe
health and safety issues. Therefore, a risk register plan with controlling potential occurrence of
same, has been created as mentioned below –
ID Risk Description Likelihood

Assessment 2: Perform an inspection and assess OHS compliance. Please note: that the details
for this assessment continue onto the adjoining page. (Maximum of 1000 words)
Conduct an inspection of the workplace in the Dandenong campus, and complete the inspection
checklist provided. Using the information that you collect, perform research and determine
whether the site is compliant with legislative requirements and the National Construction Code.
The report must include: Property information – including the address, number of storeys, construction type (what
is the exterior made of?) Observations of the site – what hazards did you observe? Risk rating for the hazard – you must show the ratings that you are using, and the matrix
so that the scale and meaning of different results on the scale are clear to both you and
the assessor. (You may use the same method as Assessment 1, as long as it is relative to
your inspection) Risk treatments – how can the hazard be fixed? Suggestions for improvement – is there any way that the hazard can be prevented from
occurring again?
You may use your risk documentation from assessment 1 to complete this assessment.
Present and justify your findings via an inspection report addressed to your line manager. The
inspection report must be no more than 1000 words.
2.1 Inspection of workplace to find risks relevant to several trades that will
be working on-site of Dandenong campus
Managing the safety and health at workplace is consider to be an integral part of the management
as they require to ensure that place where people are working remain safe for them. A safe
workplace makes people to work effectively without having any fear of risk to heir health and safety.
A business must per a regular inspection of workplace for determining the risks as well as hazards
that are s hazard to keep a place safe to work (Badri, Boudreau-Trudel and Souissi, 2018).
The Dandenong campus is consider to be one of the largest campus situated within the South
East Melbourne which provide facilities to international as well as VCE students such as café, hair
and beauty salon, patisserie, hi-tech automotive centre, polymer testing lab, computer lab and large
library. It is situated at 121 Stud Rd, Dandenong, VIC 3175. The Dandenong campus is a well
equipped site which provide a student with all the facilities which they require to get succeed within
studies (About Dandenong campus. 2020). This campus is located at Stud Rd and best part about this
road is that bus routes, train stop as well as freeway are all nearby and on site parking is also
available.
The Dandenong Town hall was built within the free classical style in year 1890 as combined
Courthouse, Shire hall and Mechanics institute. The two storey stucco rendered brick over a
bluestone base course was very much attractive (Eyiah, Kheni and Quartey, 2019). Later on by 1960s
it become suburban area of Melbourne and central Dandenong where modern buildings get

transformed along with redevelopment of post office by two storey building which is followed by
three storey office development. This campus exterior is made up of material such as geopolymer as
well as alkali activated material which is consider to be better material for the construction of
building as it remains safe and proven by the industry as well. The campus of Dandenong exterior is
designed with the combination of geopolymer, waste valorisation based materials, alkali activated
and Portland cement hybrid concrete system and CO2 storage concretes (Design and development
of materials for construction. 2012). The combination of this provides a perfect look to the building
and at the same time make it safe and risk free.
While inspecting the site it has been observed that the campus is designed in a way that it
remains safe to the student with less possible chances of hazard to be happen. But after observing
the site there are certain hazard that may happen at site. This includes,
Hazardous chemical: The Dandenong campus involve use of certain chemical that will be used
while at executing the operations at workplace. Some of the organic or inorganic chemicals are
consider to be corrosive for skin and eyes which can be toxic and harm the health of people (Ilbahar,
Karaşan, Cebi and Kahraman, 2018). So in order to fix it the students the instant treatment can be
provided with a little irritation a student face while working within lab and more concentration must
be presented toward their work.
Electrocution: This kind of risk mainly occurs when the electric flow as well as wiring are not
inserted well and remain open. This may cause several kind of issues such as electric shock, fire etc.
which can be a small accident or sometimes it takes a form of a huge hazardous accident (Suarez,
Carvajal and Catalá Alís, 2018). Hence, this is one of the biggest risk factor present at site while
working or while other people gathered there.
2.3 An inspection report to management detailing the compliance level of
the site
From the inspection of the Dandenong campus it has been found that this campus is created
with considering all the NCC codes to keep it designed over the legislator standards and keep free
from any kind of legal issues. The NCC also known as National Construction code of Australia which
consist of certain technical provisions that consider while design as well as construction of the
building throughout the Australia. This provide a legal effect by building up the regulatory legislation
within each territory or state. The legislation consists of Act of Parliament as well as subordinate
regulation. This help in assuring some factors that the related with eth safety, amenity, health and
sustainability. From the inspection of Dandenong campus, it has bene found that the building itself
doesn’t involve any kind of risk that comes under the legislator standard (Tchiehe and Gauthier,
2017). Therefore, the campus is safe as it is designed while considering all the legislator standard
and code which are designed under the national; construction code of Australia. The Dandenong
campus involve those hazard risk that may happen due to some ignorance of things that may result
into accident which are situational.
From the inspection it has been found that there is certain risk that may happen at workplace
are hazardous chemical, electrocution etc. These risks are based on situation, so following are
certain suggestions that can be used

 In order to avoid the issue related with the hazardous chemical, it must be ensured that the
chemical must be placed with the tight fit container so that it doesn’t get spread accidentally
that may cause issues to the health of people present there (Tsalis, Stylianou and Nikolaou,
2018). Other than this while using any chemical for working it must be ensured that the
people must wear the uniform specially designed for working with chemicals as well as also
carry gloves so that the chemical touch can be avoided which can harm the skin. For avoiding the risk of electrocution, it is suggested that before started working at site all
the wiring must be re check so that if any of the wire remained open then it must be covered
properly and save it from any accident to get happened. Other than this precaution which
are usually guided while working with electric instrument must be followed so that if there
remain any kind of risk then it can be avoided on timely manner.

Based on your findings in your inspection report (see assessment 2), create a site induction kit
that will introduce the risks associated with the build, and the recommended risk treatments that
the company will utilize (as detailed in assessment 1). You may add additional information if new
risks have been identified.
Consider legislative and regulative requirements, along with industry best practice, to assist you
with this task. You will need to ensure that you have considered all of the employees and
subcontractors who will be working on-site and the different aspects of their occupations.

Your kit should not exceed 750 words.
2.2. Expert advice, including advice from workplace personnel, is sought as
appropriate
The employee safety is paramount for creating a healthy and safe workplace environment that they
can work freely. To keep a place safe for people it is essential to designed and arrange the things by
considering the regulatory standards such as occupational Health and safety standards (17
WORKPLACE SAFETY TIPS TO SHARE WITH YOUR EMPLOYEES. 2020.). With the expert advice
following are certain guidelines that must be followed to keep the workplace safe and secure, Try to keep every corner organised, clean and clutter free so that nothing would be scattered
in a way that may harm people or may lead to any accident such as falling, slip etc. Must provide worker with training about using the equipment and machinery in right
manner and the worker who do not have appropriate understanding about handling the
machinery or any electric equipment must not be given such work (Bayram, 2018). This is so
because it may cause accidents such as electric shock or another kind of issue. So workers
must be provided with appropriate training before working with an instrument or
machinery.
3.1 Recommendations as per findings of inspection report
By performing inspection over the Dandenong campus, it has been found that there are
certain situational risks, that may lead to accident if get neglect such as hazardous chemical,
electrocution etc. So, following are recommendation made as per the findings to make a place safe
to work, The electrical instrument, tools and machineries must be provided to the worker who are
actually having experience of using this in order to avoid any kind of accident while working
(McLinton and et. al., 2018). For avoiding gas leakage, a regular check must be done o the pipelines so that if any hole
and damage found then it can be repair. The workers must be provided with appropriate clothes and accessories which are crucial at
workplace while using particular power tool, machinery or chemical (Gurmu, 2019). This
help in avoiding any kind of harmful impact on worker that may involve any kind of risk to
their health. While handling material it must be assured that less load must be followed by people so that
the case of any injury or falling of material can be avoided.

3.2 Discussion regarding compliance issues relating to statutory
requirements with relevant parties
As statutory compliances are imposed by laws which do not arise usually out of a contract,
therefore, such obligations are applicable to construction, design and building options. But
applicability of same in these areas are most extensive and complicated, depends as per specific
nature of proposed development (Suarez, Carvajal and Catalá Alís, 2018). Therefore, before applying
any such concept to deal with statutory compliance, the given firm i.e. Dandenong campus, its
management needs to be updated with labour, health & safety regulations to mitigate risks. For this
purpose, making discussion with contractors, employers and construction management, helps in
resolving compliance issues, that makes mandatory for them to be adhered. This firm also needs to
seeks expert advice from taxation law and labour law experts, by conducting some meetings with
them.
4.1 Effective strategies for communicating OHS policy and practice
The employee safety remains as the top priority for keeping the workplace free from any kind
of accident or other issues. So, it remains crucial to communicate about the OHS policy and practices
while consulting with professionals so that it must be followed by each of the individual present at

working site (Hassan and Esmail, 2018). Some of the common method that can be adopted to
communicate about the OHS policy can be organising a meeting and discuss about several OHS
policies and practices that are to be comply while working along with the reason behind following
these policies (Cooklin, Joss, Husser and Oldenburg, 2017). Other than this, a training session can
also be arranged for the people in order to teach them the way they must follow all the practices in
their work by providing them appropriate instruction about the procedure. Along with this, for more
safety of workers, adequate facility will be provided like first aid, clean and hygienic washrooms,
lockers, dining area and more. This would help in facilitating more job satisfaction to labours and all
associated construction staff. Furthermore, for more safety and to ensure that machines and raw
materials are handling properly, with appropriate usage, storage and transport from one place to
another with less occurrence of incidents which may harm people adversely, proper instructions will
be given to them, along with training and supervision.

3.3 Implementation of agreed control measures in conjunction with
relevant workplace personnel
As Dandenong is committed to provide health and safe environment to its employees,
students, contractors and visitors, which is vital for its successful functioning. Through Dandenong
High School Occupational Health & Safety Policy, it has also been analysed that for performing OHS
roles and responsibilities, this firm has also provided appropriate information and training to all its
associated staff and principals (Suarez, Carvajal and Catalá Alís, 2018). But after through site
inspection, it has been identified that still there are some issues happen at this campus, that arise
risks of hazardous. It includes risks with improper instalment of electrical equipment, handling
material and more. Therefore, site plan mitigate to such risks from this campus will be proper
discussed with contractors, employers and other main stakeholders first, before implementing the
same (McLinton and et. al., 2018). Now, new OHS policies of Dandenong will include its commitment
for bringing awareness among people about major potential risks, rearrangement of electrical
equipment for more safety, drafting a Contractors Agreement for seeking appropriate legal advice
from experts and more. In addition to this, risk register plan with controlling potential occurrence of
same, will be strategically developed and executed in proper way, that leads to cultivate more safe
workplace for associated people.
3.4 Review on effectiveness of control measures

Questions
1 Can a principal contractor include clauses regarding OHS in a contract with a subcontractor?
Yes, principal contractor includes clauses of OHS in a contract with subcontractor, irrespective of any
provisions, otherwise it will be quite difficult to seek legal advice appropriately from experts.

2 Explain 2 ways that a client can affect OHS policies on-site.
As level of exposure affects degree of potential risks on site, therefore, for maintaining and improving OHS
policies including all on-going procedures of an organisation should be implemented by taking consultation
process. This will include establishment of a workplace OHS committee by appointing the OHS
representatives; contributions of all employees and staff is valued and acted as well, on appropriate and
viable activities. Another way includes organising OHS information and training, which helps in sharing
responsibilities among associated people to implement OHS policies on-site.
3 Who is responsible for a client’s health and safety while on-site?
Employer and the main contractor are responsible for health and safety of a client on-site.
4 What is an employer’s OHS responsibility regarding asbestos?

According to Work Safe Victoria, the four steps of preventing occupational health and safety incidents from
occurring includes identifying hazards, assess risk, control risks and review control measures. Risk
management is the process which helps in responding to change as well as constant improvement in business
(Ricci, and et. al., 2016). The description of the steps is mentioned below:
Step 1 - Identify hazards: This is the very first step in which the hazards which could cause harm to the
workers are identified. These hazards may be cause due to manual tasks, machinery and equipment,
hazardous chemicals, noise, radiations, electricity, extreme temperatures, gravity, biological hazards etc.
Step 2 - Assess risk: This is the second step in which the risk is assessed properly in order to understand the
nature of harm that might cause due to that hazard along with how serious that harm from hazard could be
and the possibility of its happening.
Step 3 - control risk: It is the step in which the most effective measures to control the risk are executed which
are reasonably practicable in the situations and to make sure that these measures remain effective over the
time. Those control measures are taken into consideration which are effective in controlling the risk
associated with the site (Sinelnikov, Inouye, and Kerper, 2015).
Step 4 - Review control measures: This is the last step in which the control measures implemented in the
previous step are reviewed appropriately by the project manager in order to make sure that they are working
as per the plan. If any deviations are found, then corrective actions are taken in order to ensure that the
incidents at the workplace will not occur.
6 List two ways that an employer can control the risk of a fall occurring.
5 According to WorkSafe Victoria, what are the four steps to preventing OHS incidents from
occurring?
The main responsibility of the employer regarding asbestos is to ensure that the workplace where workers
working is safe and is not exposed to any kind of harm or hazards by work. It is the responsibility of employer
to check whether the asbestos is existing in the present site or building. They must have the record which
clearly depicts that where in building the asbestos is and a copy of this has been also given to occupational
health and safety representative (Badri, Boudreau-Trudel, and Souissi, 2018). Apart from this, it is the
responsibility of employer to remove the damaged asbestos bi licence asbestos removal list and the walls and
doors which contains asbestos must be labelled. In addition to this, the arrangements to prevent or control
the risk associated with asbestos are reviewed periodically as a matter of course and the occupational health
and safety representative are consult regularly.

Despite state of the art equipment as well as abundance of information about fall protection, fatal falls still
occur. Protection from fall is complex, although there are some ways through which employer can control the
risk of fall occurring. Some of the ways that can be used by employer are discussed below:
Apply prevention by design - One of the best way for reducing the risk of fall is to eliminate it before it is
occurring. With prevention through design, fall hazards are ascertained and addressed properly at the time of
programming and design stage of new buildings as well as processes. Evaluating and executing the measures
to safety early in the project make sure the optimal safety for workers.
Performing utilize assessment of fall hazard risk - It is the another way to reduce the risk of fall hazard. If it is
not known that where the risk is, it is not possible to control that. So, with the help of fall hazard risk
assessment, the employer can identify the risk as well as quantify it in order to rank that in comparison to
another risk (Reese, 2018).
7 Name and explain one injury that noise can cause.
The one injury which can be caused due to noise is noise induced hearing loss. This injury can be caused
because of exposure to intense impulse sound like explosion or through constant exposure to high intensity
sounds over the long period of time like noise generated in construction work. In this, a permanent shift is
occurred in pure tone thresholds due to which sensorineural hearing loss occur. The threshold shift severity is
relying on severity and duration of exposure to noise. It can damage the auditory system and outcomes into
hearing loss.
8 According to WHS legislation, what are three things that an employer must provide?

According to the work health and safety legislation, the three things which an employer must provide for its
workers includes necessary health and safety instructions, training as well as supervision; necessary
protective equipment and gear; and maintaining registers for all the injuries that takes place in work place
(Gopang and et. al., 2017). All these are the three things which is necessary for the employer to provide to its
workers. These will help in reducing the chances of risk and maintaining healthy and safe workplace
environment all the workers can work safely.
9 WHS legislation requires that every site have a display board. List 2 pieces of information that
the board must feature.
The two pieces of information which should be displayed on the board of every site are as
follows:
1. All personnel must be site inducted and safety footwear must be worn.
2. All visitors and workers must report to site office and ensure to wear safety helmets during
visiting.
10 What are three details that an evacuation plan should cover?

The details which must be covered in the evacuation plan includes:
1. Information about the preferred method to report fire as well as other emergencies.
2. Information about evacuation policy as well as procedure.
3. Details about emergency escape procedures as well as route assignments like workplace maps, floor plans,
safe or refuge areas etc.
Apart from this, it must cover a clear chain of command, information about conditions needed an evacuation
and specific evacuation procedures.
