1.1 Activity 1: Australian Hardware Work Health and Safety (WHS) Management
System for Hobart, Tasmania Store
The Australian Hardware Work Health and Safety (WHS) Management System for Hobart
Tasmania Store will be in line with the existing policies and procedures present at its Geelong
Store. The WHS policies and procedures at the new store that will be commissioned in the near
future will include;
1.1.1 Locating, adapting, adopting and communicating WHS policies
WHS Management Plan will need to be developed in compliance with the current WHS
legislation. The Plan will include policies and procedures in line with the existing store’s
policies. The Plan will include all relevant codes of practice and regulations to ensure safety for
workers and contractors (Dollard and Bakker, 2010, pg. 579-599). The policies will be
communicated to everyone within the organization by the senior managers. The plan will be
made available to all workers and contractors to ensure that they have a clear understanding of
the same. A copy of such plan needs to be made an available and a periodic review of the plan
need to be undertaken to update it with the latest legislative requirements. The Management's
commitment at the new store towards WHS system and plan ensures implementation of WHS
policies and review of the same. The senior managers will be responsible for the publishing of
policies and monitoring of compliance procedures.
1.1.2 Identification of duty holders and defining WHS
The Management’s commitment to WHS policies will ensure its application for all workplace
personnel within the Australian Hardware new store. Management has to specify duty holders,
roles and responsibilities such that implementation procedure can be appropriately achieved.
Management will be responsible for devising WHS Plans, specifying hazards and risks
