PART B- Participation
1) List two strategies that you could adopt to ensure all workers are involved in WHS

1

its effectiveness both get developed under which health and safety issues are overcome in
balanced manner. If leader measures different ideas as with this ability to manage risk is

2) If safety concern were raised during consultation with workers what would be expected to do?
In this suitable listening and better talk is processed in between team and its team members
under which all the issues and problems are identified with easiness and it advance the prompt
changes in working culture.

Company notice board is not an effective way to communicate as it is not mandatory that
all team members check upgraded notice board thus it doesn't offer clarity that either member

engaged within the industry of that is dependent over South Australia. It also empowers
workplace that is related to seizure of evidence and documents. For example, there are various
3

policies and procedure that is processed as in order to identify hazards, reporting and analysing
