Assessment Task - Implement and monitor WHS policies, procedures and programs to meet legislative requirements

Assessment description-

You must select, research, and conduct a toolbox talk on a type of workplace hazard that you have identified through consultation with a work group. Toolbox talks are regularly delivered to small groups in the workplace and highlight workplace health and safety issues.

The hazards you can choose from include:

? physical hazards

? psycho-social hazards

? mechanical hazards

? chemical hazards

? sources of energy

? environmental hazards.

Once you have delivered your talk, you will then need to source a standard operating procedure and train a member of your (real or simulated) work group in that procedure.

Part B: Training procedure

1. Choose an organisation's standard operating procedure (SOP)( either on the internet or one that your own company uses). Alternatively, use the Australian Hardware Warehousing SOP available in the additional resources section of moodle and identify all of the skills / knowledge employees would need to be able to comply with the SOP. Be sure to identify objective indicators of successful performance for the procedure.

2. Identify a (simulated or real) work group to train on the safe performance of the procedure and follow organisational procedures and WHS legislative requirements to consult with the work group and determine training needs on the procedure.

a. You should rate the level of skill for each group member on a Skills Matrix (Appendix 1).

b. To determine how competent a person is, simply ask them to perform the procedure or recite how it can be done.

3. Develop a written plan for a training session (a maximum of ten minutes) on the safe completion of the procedure.

a. You may want to use the Training Plan template (Appendix 2).

b. Include key steps of the delivery and consultation with work group.

c. Prepare all of the resources required - make sure to include any costs associated with your training session in your plan, costs may include:

i. cost of wages

ii. lost productivity (cost of time used in activities other than making products or delivering services)

4. Follow organisational procedures to report costs to management.

5. Train your work group in the procedure. You will be observed by your assessor and you may be recorded for audit purposes.

6. Post a copy of the procedure and skills matrix on your safety team noticeboard OR email a copy of the procedures to your safety team / your assessor.

7. Arrange a follow-up meeting or extra learning opportunity with any individual who still needs or would like extra practise to achieve the desired standard of performance.

8. Prepare and deliver a five- to ten-minute (maximum) follow-up coaching or mentoring session.

a. Use coaching or mentoring techniques and the GROW Model template (Appendix 3) to help the individual reach his or her performance goals.

b. You will be observed by your assessor and may be video recorded for audit purposes.
