BSBWHS521 Ensure a safe workplace for a work area

Activity 1 When establishing and maintaining a WHS management system, there are three things you need to ensure you do. List them in the table below, then give a brief description of what they involve.

Activity 2 Think carefully about your workplace or a workplace you are familiar with. Do they establish and maintain effective and compliant participation arrangements for managing WHS? Briefly describe how they go about doing this/could go about doing this. (If you do not work in an organisation, briefly describe how you could go about doing this).

Activity 3

Please Tick True False
Every industry has specific job-related hazards
It is absolutely vital that you only consider hazards that are obvious
You need a good overview of the team's duties, work practices and procedures, the equipment they use and the work environment
Risk analysis is not an important part of managing workplace hazards
The ways of controlling risks are ranked from the highest level of protection and reliability to the lowest
When changes occur, PCBUs have a legal responsibility to consult with workers and HSRs on the effects these changes may have on WHS
PCBUs must develop and maintain procedures that find the most appropriate way of eliminating or reducing any risks identified
It should be assumed that risk control measures will always be adequate to solve a problem
