Childcare: WHS Record - Housekeeping, Incident Logs & Awareness

This assignment focuses on Work Health and Safety (WHS) within a childcare setting. It includes three sections: monitoring housekeeping practices using a checklist, maintaining WHS incident records with specific examples of incidents (e.g., poisoning, cross-infection, slips, food poisoning, manual handling injuries, and social exclusion), and logging details of three WHS awareness sessions. The awareness sessions cover WHS policies and procedures, safe housekeeping demonstrations (specifically hygienic food preparation), and demonstrations of the correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE). The assignment also includes a supervisor declaration to confirm the candidate's completion of the outlined tasks and provides space for supervisor comments. The document includes templates for recording housekeeping schedules, incident details, and WHS awareness session information. Desklib provides similar solved assignments and past papers for students.
