3.Analysis and description of process
The main aim of the module is to exercise my capability for meeting the learning
outcomes while reviewing the health and safety policies for knowing how the organization
“Greensafe” is able to provide health and safety services for the different industries and
organizations. It is found that the planned time that is mainly allocated for delivering the
project is around 61 days.
The main purpose of this entire study is to review the health and safety policies that is
followed for maintaining proper health condition within the employees of the organization.
This generally include providing strategies that the organization utilizes in context to health
and safety for providing proper solutions by designing and delivering proper innovative
programmes with proper cost and service advantage. The evidence that is gathered after the
analysis generally suggests the organization utilizes number of health and safety regulations
and policies so that the employees of the organizations does not have to face any type of
issues and challenges related to health and safety. Some of the regulations that are generally
utilized by the organizations include management of health and safety work regulations, and
more. All this regulation and policies are utilized by the organization so that they can be
capable of providing consultation, training and can audit the health and safety services of
different other organizations.
It is quite necessary for me to understand how the analysis is generally performed by
the team members and what type of information are generally provided to them. This
generally include meeting with the human resource of the department to know about the aims

SAFETY & HEALTH POLICY REVIEW
and objectives of the project including the resources that is allocated for reviewing the health
and safety policies of the organization. I also require information that is mainly associated
with understanding the requirement of information and training to the organizational staff at
the induction stage. It is found that this type of findings generally helps in allowing me to
understand the competency that is associated with the managers and team installation that
further can create effect on the attitudes of the employees towards the adoption of health and
safety regulations while involving with the project.
It is identified that for delivering and facilitating the entire project effectively, it is
quite necessary to understand the requirements of the project quite properly. In addition to
this, I utilized techniques like communication, co-operation and co-ordination for assisting
various types of processes and activities. It is found that this type of techniques generally
helps in enabling me to analyze the weaknesses and strengths in controlling the health and
safety related issues so that appropriate principles of prevention and hierarchy of control is
generally utilized for ensuring proper health and safety for the persons who are generally
affected due to the activities of the site as per the health and safety act at work.
4. Discussion that generally surrounds product of value realized by the
work
The findings from both written procedures, systems and on-site observation generally
suggests both weaknesses and strengths for managing the health and safety within the entire
organization.
It is found that the review that is associated with analyzing the utilization of health
and safety policies by the organization generally helps in eliminating and reducing the site
hazards that is related to working at height in context to identification of risks that generally
arises from various unprotected edge to carry out proper roof work. It is found that this type

SAFETY & HEALTH POLICY REVIEW
of activities had previously carried out the utilization of a ladder. It is found that depending
on the needs and requirements of the safety and health regulations we select appropriate steps
to avoid the risks and challenges that is mainly associated with health and safety risks.
It is identified that the review also helps in identifying number of failures for
complying with the act that can be helpful in resolving the issues and challenges that are
associated with health and safety policies. It is found that the reviews are quite helpful in
managing and planning health and work-related policies to give opportunity so that the
approved code of practice can act as a guide to control the risks to create proper training
programme so that the employees of the organization can be made aware about the measures
that needs to be taken to avoid health and safety risks on the site.
According to my view, the most significant value of the product must be realized by
the management for highlighting the lack of awareness in context to operatives so that the
risks that are associated with the activities and processes due to lack of information,
instruction and training. It is found that the findings from the site observation suggests that if
the management fails to allocate proper amount of time and resources to implement training
and information of the staff. In addition to this, the review is quite helpful in adding value to
the staffs with appropriate instruction, training and information. This type of improvements
that generally assists in protecting the health and safety of the workers generally helps in
preventing challenges
5.Meeting the learning outcomes
Learning outcome 1: Synthesise and demonstrate skills and competencies required for
successful integrated management

one complete framework to enable Greensafe to work successfully on the unified objectives
so that health and safety policies are successfully reviewed. It is identified that a quality team
is mainly concerned with QMs so that both environmental as well as health and safety issues
related with the organization can easily be mitigated. The organization focusses on quality
management system, environmental management system and safety management system.
Proper communication as well as negotiation is generally considered to make the entire
project successful.
Proper communication is used by the team members to discuss about the needs as
well as demands of the project so that the goals and objectives can be successfully achieved.
Appropriate negotiation is utilized by the project team members to settle the differences
within the project. It is identified that to synthesise as well as demonstrate skills and
competencies it is very much necessary to select proper project team members. Project team
members must hire as per the skills and experience so that the policies related with health and
safety can be successfully achieved. To make the project successful, the higher authorities of
the organization are consulted so that they can be able to provide proper information about
the policies and procedures that are associated with health and safety.

SAFETY & HEALTH POLICY REVIEW
The resources that are utilized in the project are appropriate or not is generally
analyzed by tracking the utilization of resources within the project on a regular basis. The
problems as well as risks that are mainly associated with the project can be resolving by
introducing number of strategies as well as steps that are helpful. It is found that for
managing the project effectively, the project manager needs to tackle the risks and challenges
that are associated with the project. The risks and challenges can be resolved by creating
proper risk register, by determining impact and likelihood and by estimating the risks and
challenges.
Learning outcome 3: Examine the critical practical concerns that arise in carrying out a
project within the workplace and synthesise the constraints that exist within such
frameworks
. The risks that are associated with the project including inappropriate time estimation,
lack of resources, lack of budget as well as absence of experienced project team members for
finishing the project can be successfully resolved by implementing proper strategies. It is
identified that absence of proper employees and staffs within the project generally obstructs
the project and generally creates lots of issues and concerns in completing the entire project
successfully within the expected time. It is found that the impact of the risks is higher on the
project and thus the project manager wants to manage the risks by analyzing the utilization
of project budget and resources on a weekly basis for making sure that the project is on the
right track. It is found that both employees and staff availability is analyzed for reviewing the
safety and health policies of the organization effectively.
It is found that in the absence of staffs the project managers influence as well as
motivates the team members to work extra for finishing the project. In addition to this, the
problem or issues due to staff availability can be avoided by estimating the resources that is

10
SAFETY & HEALTH POLICY REVIEW
needed for the project. It is found that absence of proper customer-supplier relationship and
absence of project finance generally creates lot of issues and challenges in executing the
project within the expected time that is mainly assumed during the initial stage of the project.
The problem can be resolved by tracking the budget that is utilized by the project manager on
a weekly basis.
Learning outcome 4: Critically apply knowledge about the practical application and
synthesise the different abilities required to implement the chosen client-based tasks
The paper utilizes proper training and skills requirements development for the team
members so that they can be able to review the health and safety policies effectively. Training
and skill development is needed within the team members of the project so that they can able
to get involved successfully with the project for finishing the project within the expected time
and budget. The project team members are hired without appropriate skills and thus proper
training and skill development within the project is necessary. In addition to this the client
descriptor project focuses on proper legislative and statutory considerations during the review
of health and safety rules so that none of the rules get violated. As the organization utilizes
appropriate rules for maintaining the health and safety of the employees therefore the steps
that are taken within the project must not violates that rules and regulations. In addition to
this, it is identified that application of the company culture to identify the work and health
regulations and laws that are generally helpful to avoid the problems and challenges that are
mainly associated with health and safety of the organizational employees. The organization
“Fuor Australia Pty Ltd.” Is one of the organization whom Greensafe helps in following the
health and safety culture within the organization.

6.Self-assessment in relation to the overall success of the work
The key for the project success is basically dependent on the entire training package
and on the delivery to the site personnel.
The study generally resulted in minimizing the chances of accidents and incidents
that can be helpful in creating proper culture within the organizations with the help of
appropriate communication, co-operation, consultation and involvement. My main objective
is basically dependent on the utilization of aims and objectives that generally assists in
driving the entire workforce for believing the end goal of the entire project. After reflecting
on the organizational failures, it is quite important to understand the significance of the
workforce that are involved within the project. It is very much necessary to analyze the
services that is provided by Greensafe so that proper health and safety regulations will be
utilized by the organizations for avoiding any type of risks and challenges.
7. Self-assessment in relation to performance to each learning outcome
It is identified that the self-assessment that is created in relation to performance is
totally based on Gibb’s reflective model. It is identified that Gibbs reflective cycle is one of
the model that is mainly utilized in this project as one of the framework in coursework
assignment that mainly needs appropriate reflective writing. The project generally needs
integrated skills of management for successfully delivering the project within the time that is
generally expected. It is found that as discussed within the project descriptor for achieving
the aims and objectives, it is very much necessary to manage, plan and monitor the various
activities of the site however when I refer on the review of health and safety policies, I found
that leadership is the main concept towards the success of the project.
It is found that utilization of proper principles generally acted as a guide for enabling
me to consider the various types of failures that are related with the management. This

12
SAFETY & HEALTH POLICY REVIEW
information is very much helpful in changing the attitudes, behaviours that generally leads to
engagement, empowerment and motivation among the workforce of the organization for
achieving the goals and objectives. The health and safety of the organizations are mainly
driven with the help of the project managers who generally failed to engage successfully
within the project that generally leads to poor morale of the entire project. The information
that needs to be utilized for improving the attitudes and behaviour generally leads to
empower, engage and motivate the entire workforce to understand and analyze the objectives
of the project.
