Implement and monitor work health and safety practices

Assessment 1 - Report

Your Task:
Using the steps of Hazard Management, a hazard analysis is required to be carried out in a simulated industry environment or industry workplace in the TH&E industry.

Students are required to conduct a Hazard analysis by first of all finding the hazard in the workplace

Use the checklist to do this find as many Hazards as you can and provide information on them

Choose 10 hazards that you have found (2 from each of the 5 categories) i use the Risk matrix to evaluate the hazard , how dangerous is it ? how often could it happen ?

Rate the hazard from the most risk to the least risk, put them in order on the Action plan from most risky to least

Work out how to reduce the risk from each hazard by using the hierarchy of controls, remember you can use multiple controls together ie training and PPE

Then decide on what action will be taken to reduce the risk to an acceptable level . Who will do it and when will it be done
Finally, after you have applied these controls was ir successful? is the hazard reduced or eliminated? if not what else must be done

Report:

Report of five (5) hazards from five (5) different categories. Must be presented in a professional format, with a title page that is easy to read and understand.

Introduction: Explain why OHS is important in this scenario. Identify the current Victorian legislation and the state government body that regulates OHS. Furthermore, clearly outline the legal requirements in relation to hazard management. This must be included in your reference list.

Body: Use a checklist to identify multiple hazards in your workplace and then select two (2) hazards from each of the five different categories e.g. physical, chemical, biological, physiological, ergonomic hazards (Step 1: Find It)

Hazard analysis matrix - level of risk. Likelihood (L) X Consequence (C) to assessing existing risk of the above hazards identified in you simulated workplace Hotel. (Step 2: Assess it)

Identify and describe the hierarchy of controls to reduce the risk, risk score after corrective action (hierarchies of control) actions are in place. (Step 3: Fix it)

Filled out you action plan when implementation strategies, what action will be done to control the risk, whom will do it, the due date and date completed.
(Step 4: Review it)

Conclusion: Recommend staff training in a WHS consultation meeting, why is this needed?
