2. Among all the hazard that has been highlighted above, I would like to eliminate the hazard
related to working with an employee who is under the influence of alcohol and other drug
addiction. This might be harmful for the other employees because the in toxic behavior of that
employee might scare out the customers of the store and hamper the workplace environment of
the store.
3. It is possible that the intoxicated staff does not realize the hazard around him. This might lead
to be less conscious and being slower.
4. Each and every one who is in the charge of taking certain responsibilities that is involved with
the hazards and the risks. It might be useful for consulting the other parts, Example includes the
previous staff members, the experts, the officers from various different experts.
5. For controlling the risk, it is therefore necessary to remove the hazard, replace and refurbish
like replacing the broken parts with new ones. The store keeper must need to provide correct
trainings since it is necessary to work by following certain procedures of the standards in order to
be safe at the workplace. It is essential to remember that in toxic nature and behavior of person
under the influence of alcohol might disrupt the culture and the working environment of the
store. This furthermore includes the specific equipment’s or the use of certain decent of clothes
that is needed to be used during the shift timing.

1. What to include in the WHS induction and the training program
The employer or the store keeper requires to provide the training, the information related
to safe practices and the guidelines that needs to be followed at the workplace, the
supervision and the proper throwing of the instructions for ensuring the safety and the
health and also the wellbeing of the employee at the store (Jilcha, Kitaw&Beshah, 2016).
The store keeper or the employer must also make some strategies and recommendation
for avoiding the above stated hazards that has been identified in the workplace that
includes the tripping hazard due to slippery floors, loose wires, old furniture and more.
These hazard have some of the high risk towards the harm of the employees working
there. Thus in order to meet the needs or the requirements for the obtaining of the
effective training and the knowledge program for the improvement of skills and the
knowledge both the employers and the employee must work together n a collaborative
basis.
2. Development of the system of the WHS recordkeeping.
It is furthermore essential to keep the records of the hazards that has happened or
identified within the workplace and whether any recommended actions or strategies has
been implemented for solving them (Spellman, 2017). It is furthermore necessary for
recording everything and anything in the daily report book and maintain it for the entire
time of the business for having the chance for getting back to the nature of the issue or
the hazard that happened at the workplace and to investigate in that matter.

3. Devise the method for the measurement and the evaluation of the WHS management
system
It is quite possible for measuring and evaluating the WHS management system with the
effective use of several of the methods. This includes the testing of the equipment’s that
have been used. Example includes the machineries, the inspection of the workplace from
some of the external experts and the training module of the staff members of the store
(Ekberg et al. 2016). Furthermore the usage of the record books is one of the possible
method for the evaluation and the identification of the hazard regarding how often the
hazards have been identified and what are some of the actions that have been taken in
order for avoiding the hazards in the upcoming future.
4. Improvements that can be made for the WHSMS for solving of the issue.
In the above stated case, its is very much necessary for reviewing the procedure of the
training. In case of the continuity of the workplace hazards irrespective of the repeated
warnings regarding the dangers associated with the hazard, it clearly signifies that the
staff members of the store have not understood the warning and the guidelines properly
(Amirah, et al. 2013). The store keeper needs to make sure that all the employees
understand the risks of practicing the hazard and the harm it might cause. It is the duty of
the employer to make his employees understand regarding the importance of the
removing the boxes from the aisles since it might harm people around. The store keeper

must also make the employees sign the training form that signifies that they have
understood and if these workplace hazards keeps of happening again, strict actions will
be taken henceforth.
