MEASURING AND EVALUATING HSW PERFORMANCE
There is a process in place to measure and evaluate the ongoing performance of the
HSW management system.
Executive summary
Health and safety management exercise is important in terms of measuring the effectiveness,
appropriateness and feasibility of the healthcare services provided to the patients. Within this,
risk management is crucial in terms of gaining awareness regarding the potential risks, which
the staffs can face while executing the business activities. The case of Pitstop Australia
enlivens the approach of the staffs towards health and safety management.

explain your reasoning and support with evidence).
Pitstop possesses the guidance of the Australian government in terms of being one of the
biggest pumping station in the northern beaches of Sydney. Injuries are common in the
process of executing the business activities. This necessitates the need of risk management
exercise in terms of ensuring the wellbeing of the staffs (Considine 2014). This deviates from
the objectives of Pitstop, which is to minimize the risks during the execution of the activities.

The objective to develop policies for this purpose reflects the conscious approach of the
personnel towards enhancing the workplace culture (Preibisch and Otero 2014). As a matter
of specification, the main sources of risks are oven, LPG, petrol, measurement of the fuel
volumes among others.
Planning has added 80 more staffs, resulting in the achieving of sustainable growth and
development. Within 6 months of the implementation of Work and Health Safety Management,
30 more outlets have opened. The major drive behind this is the effective management
(Gerber 2015). Positivity reflects from the feedback of the staffs. However, according to the
recent data, the staffs felt a lack of momentum in the implementation of the Work Health and
Safety Management Plan. Most striking outcome is the loss of 1 working day. The major drive
behind this are:
 3 fire instances,
 floor slips
Majority of the injuries result from falling stock, compelling the staffs to suffer from head
injuries. Along with this, the following injuries have been reported:
 12 lifting injuries
 60 burn cases
 40 breathing troubles
The store managers are to be credited for exposing conscious approach towards the
achievement of sustainable growth (Komendantova et al. 2013). Most notable is the execution
of risk and safety management. Recent data reveal the leniency of the store managers
regarding complying with the health and safety procedures. Carelessness in the training
programs have adversely affected the progress of the health and safety plan (Parker and

Handmer 2013).
If the report of last 6 months is considered, some of the stores have regularly conducted
managerial sessions for clarifying the doubts. Surprisingly, these stores witnessed less
accidents related to health and safety. Non-compliance is also reported from organizing 250
weekly audits out of 500. Therefore lackadaisical attitude of the store managers is the main
reason behind the absence of impetus in the Work Health and Safety Management (Martinov
et al. 2014).
Conclusions (make conclusions based on
analysis; determine root causes of performance
issues).
In spite of the implementation of Work Health and
Safety Management Plan, some of the risks and
issues still prevail. This is due to the careless
approach of the store managers in terms of
complying with the legal obligations. Involving the
staffs and the managers for developing an action
plan would assist in ensuring the wellbeing of the
customers.
