SITXWHS003: Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment & Risk Control

This assignment focuses on hazard identification, risk assessment, and risk control in the workplace. The document provides a practical example of how to identify potential hazards, assess the associated risks, and implement control measures. The assignment includes a table that details specific hazards, such as machinery breakdowns, falling objects, electric shocks, high-temperature burns, and accidents at shearing points. For each hazard, the table assesses the risk and proposes control measures, like regular machinery monitoring, providing protective gear (boots, gloves, and rubber footwear), and implementing temperature control techniques and maintenance. The assignment emphasizes the importance of workplace safety and provides a framework for employers to fulfill their legal and moral obligations to create and maintain a safe and healthy work environment. The document highlights the 'Find it', 'Assess it', and 'Fix it' approach to ensure the well-being of employees.
