Assessment Task 1: Identify Risks and Propose solutions
1.1 Assess the hazards/risks which may have arisen because of acquiring new stores
during the expansion stage. Create a list of them. Identify inadequacies in existing risk
controls, and WHS legislative requirements
For example, you may propose an administrative solution as well as PPE risk control
for some risk.
Risk Identified Risk Solution
The stores, which would be acquired in
relation to the expansion, may not have
adequate safety tool for the health and
safety of the employees.
If any feature of the newly acquired stores
may pose risk to the health and safety of
the employees the features have to be
removed.
The stores which have been acquired for
the purpose of expansion may be
subjected to any radiation which may
cause health and safety issues to the
Before selecting any store in relation to
the expansion a radiation check has to be
conducted. If a store does not pass the

BSBWHS501 Ensure a Safe Workplace
employees immediate cleaning
The stores which have been acquired for
the purpose of expansion may not have
adequate tools and equipments required
for the safety of the employees
In case it is found that the stores lack such
equipments the organization must provide
the employees working in such stores with
upgraded equipments for their safety.
The stores which have been acquired for
the purpose of expansion may not have
adequate space which is required for the
purpose of avoiding accidents
Stores must only be selected if they have
proper space in order to ensure the proper
operations of the employees and to
prevent any accidents from happening.
1.2 Develop a plan to implement appropriate measures to control risk according to
hierarchy of control. Propose solutions which are more reliable and cost effective and
include:
 timelines, resources and actions
 any new procedures to be developed
 changes to procedures
 further communication and consultation:plan at least one meeting/training (will be
conducted in 1.6) in detail to inform affected workers of changes and include strategies
to provide access to information and ease of understanding
 ongoing, regular monitoring (plan for monitoring activities, e.g. scheduled
audits)
 Recordkeeping or reporting actions to assist in legislative compliance and
organisational WHS performance review.

Source Information and data
Employee data report
from General Manager

Operations
160 employees
20 stores
20 Store Managers
Safety audits 10 audits completed.
Wide variance in approach to risk taken by various managers. For
example, some managers have initiated the use of nozzle guards and
automatic pump shut-off systems to reduce small and large spills.
Other managers have chosen to post rules for customers in more
visible locations.
Project management
reports
13 managers have completed a skills audit in the 6-month period.
Incident reports Incident reports are not always completed by managers. Risk of serious
incidents not being considered in review; risk of serious incidents not
being reported to relevant WorkCover authority.
Managers' reports Managers’ report 250 weekly safety audits of premises Nearly 500
expected.
The ability of designated staff to understand and follow written risk
assessment processes is impeding progress.
Training records 80 employees trained in job role.
Employee feedback
survey
Employees generally like the idea of training sessions, but feel sessions
are often disorganised and incompetently run by inexperienced
managers.
Some stores have highly popular and informative sessions. Managers
run regular sessions based on employee WHS concerns and WHS
issues showing in management reports. These same stores have very
few incidents.

Source Information and data
Feedback through
HSRs and informal
consultation
Employees feel that there was a lot of initial managerial enthusiasm for
the new WHSMS; however, recently not much attention has been paid
to maintaining the system.
Employees at some stores complaining about recent introduction of
strong solvents; managers at those stores dismiss concerns.
Also, at some stores, job roles and performance indicators set by
managers don’t mention WHS. Employees feel that this send the
message: WHS is not genuinely important to role at store.
Industry reports and
independent scientific
studies; advice from
WHS experts
Barriers and engineering controls 50% more effective in reducing
incidents than signage.
Stable causal link between increased frequency and repetition of safety
messages and reduced injury rates.
Strong correlation shown between smoking rates at stores and fire
incidence.
Strong correlation shown between smoking rates at stores and
willingness to promote a safe working environment.
