Workbook 2 – Overview & Instructions

The assessment tasks in this document form part of the evidence requirements to demonstrate competency in the BSB51319 Diploma of Work Health and Safety. Candidates are also required to satisfactorily complete all of the assessment tasks in Workbook 1 to achieve the full BSB51319 qualification. This workbook is clustered into sections. Each of the Units of Competency will be assessed holistically throughout each section of this Workbook. All sections in this workbook must be completed prior to submitting for assessment.

To achieve this, you will assume the role of a WHS Manager for the duration of the training as part of the steering committee. In order to meet the objectives of the Units of Competency and in line with Industry best practice, you will be utilising a number of resources to assist you in developing components of a Work Health and Safety Management System (WHSMS).

To allow for flexibility in this course HBA has provided participants with three (3) options for completing Workbook 2.

Option 1 – Own workplace (preferred option)
Use your own workplace to complete the activities in this workbook. HBA will ensure the privacy and confidentiality of all workplace documents. If you are submitting workplace documents, you must:
o Ensure all documents submitted directly address the evidence requirements and are clearly labelled;
o Indicate clearly which activity you are submitting the document for; and
o Provide third party confirmation that the workplace documentation submitted is that of your own work.

Option 2 – Simulated organisation
You may choose to base your work on a simulated organisation or as a consultant to an organisation that you are familiar with. This option will require you to create your own scenario and information to support the activities.

Option 3 – Case Study, Trident Electrical
HBA has provided a brief case study to assist you in completing this Workbook. Relevant components of the case study will be addressed in the later sections of this Workbook. You will be required to simulate some information not covered in the scenario.

Workbook Structure

This Workbook is divided into six (6) sections. There are five (5) key sections replicating the requirements of a Work Health and Safety Management System (WHSMS) as outlined in the AS/NZ 4801: 2001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems – specification with guidance for use. Section six (6) relates to the finalisation and submission of your assessment evidence.

The five (5) sections follow five (5) key elements of developing an effective Work Health and Safety Management System (WHSMS). Each section flows into the next as a continuous cycle. Throughout the life of the project, you will return to various stages to carry out or review actions and or activities from the five (5) key elements.

Case Study 1 – Trident Electrical Pty Ltd.

You are the recently employed WHS Manager for a medium sized Electrical Contracting company, Trident Electrical.

The company currently employees 52 workers including the Director, 3 Department Managers covering the Operations, WHS and the Human Resource Departments and 4 Area Supervisors. The Supervisors have a 2IC (Second in Charge) appointed to them to assist with the day to day operations of the business.

The previous WHS Manager was dismissed due to failing to meet the companies WHS objectives. Trident Electrical does not have a Work Health and Safety Management System (WHSMS) in place and is grossly lacking in relation to having industry best practice and legislative compliance documents such as policies, processes and procedures included as part of the overall Work Health and Safety Information System (WHSIS). Historical, Trident Electrical has not adopted a systematic approach to the management of the business.

It is now your role to develop in consultation with relevant stakeholders, implement, and monitor and review the WHSMS and associated documents.

You can assume that you are working through the limited historical data on file. As you move through the ad hoc and incomplete document filing system you happen across an incident register. You can see there are 5 incidents recorded in the register. One incident in particular raises alarm bells for you.

You are sifting through the documents on hand in order to locate more information regarding this incident and are able to locate 3 incident reports, including the incident in relation to a worker’s back injury. You can see by the data recorded the worker is an apprentice named John Agave. He was working on a temporary power switch board installation. The job details described in the report outlined the worker was to connect the mains power cables to the temporary switch board. The incident details state the worker was preparing to terminate the cables. When he exposed the copper wiring on the cable, he suffered an electric shock and was thrown backwards, landing with force onto his lower back.

There is a statement completed by the Electrical Supervisor Robert Wong, attached to the incident report. The Supervisor of the area has recorded that he found the apprentice sometime later (there were no witnesses to the incident, so the exact time is unknown) on his back and not moving. The Supervisor shook the Injured Person (IP) and called out his name. A few seconds later, the IP came to. The Supervisor asked if the IP was alright and the IP responded he had received an electric shock and now has a sore back. The Supervisor took him to the First Aid Hut for a check-up.

A short time later, after obtaining the all clear from one of the onsite First Aiders Karen Victor, John returned to complete the power installation to the switch board.

There is no evidence of an Incident Investigation taking place on file.

The standard practice for new inductees and apprentice’s is they are required to attend an induction on the first day of shift, prior to the commencement of duties. As stated in the induction, there is a mentoring program in place and all inductees are to be paired up with a ‘Buddy’ for the first 2 weeks of employment and all trainees and apprentice’s must not work unsupervised.

You continue to make your way through the current files for the remainder of the week in order to establish an action plan and the priority order in which to address the matters at hand.
Section 1 Management Commitment and Policy

This Section of the Workbook requires you to develop a Work Health and Safety (WHS) Policy which states in broad terms how Management aims to provide a safe workplace, including allocation of resources and responsibilities for implementation and communication of information.

Senior leaders and management within organisations need to clearly define their commitment to WHS and communicate this regularly to all Workers.

Contributing to the development and implementation of a WHS Policy clearly demonstrates a commitment to WHS and ensures that everyone understands their health and safety responsibilities in the workplace.

1.1 Develop a WHS Policy

In this activity you are required to contribute to the development and implementation of WHS Policy and the commitment to the Work Health and Safety Management System (WHSMS).

The WHS Policy developed must be appropriate to the nature and scale of the organisation’s hazards and risks and will need to include the following:

o A commitment of Senior Managers to providing a safe workplace;
o Consultation with workers (including volunteers and contractors where applicable)
o The organisation’s overall health and safety objectives;
o The organisation’s commitment to establishing measurable objectives and targets in relation to health and safety;
o Commitment to identifying, assessing and controlling hazards and risks in the workplace;
o A commitment to comply with relevant legislation and any other health and safety requirements (Commonwealth, State and/or Territory);
o Return to work and injury management;
o Review dates

The WHS Policy must contain an appropriate document title and format using appropriate naming conventions as per organisational policies and procedures.

In developing the WHS Policy you will also need to consider integration with other functional areas of management which may include:

o Engineering and maintenance;
o Environmental management;
o Finance and auditing;
o Human resources, industrial relations and payroll;
o Information, data and records management;

1.2 Communication Strategy for WHS Policy

In this activity you are required to develop a communication strategy to document how you will communicate all of the relevant WHS information, including the WHS Policy to the PCBU, officers, workers (including contractors) and others.

Consider strategies such as:

o Introducing new workers to the WHSMS and the WHS Policy during induction processes;
o Conducting regular refresher training for all workers;
o Displaying the WHS Policy on your notice board;
o Saving the WHS Policy to the Work Health and Safety Management System (WHSMS) you have created;
o Including the WHS Policy in worker, volunteer and contractor handbooks;
o Displaying the WHS Policy on the organisation’s website.

The communication strategy must be detailed and reflective of a document suitable for presentation to Senior Management for approval. It will also need to include the monitoring, review and continuous improvement details of the strategy.

Once developed, you will need to seek approval and endorsement for the Communication Strategy from the relevant Stakeholder within the organisation.

Section 2 Planning

This section of the Workbook will involve contributing to the development of an overall WHS Management Plan and deciding how you will meet the commitments you have made in the WHS Policy.
For Example: What will you do to ensure appropriate resources are allocated? How will you set objectives and targets for the improvement of WHS and how you will measure and record your progress?

In developing the WHSMS, you will also need to consider integration with other functional areas of management, which may include:

o Engineering and maintenance;
o Environmental management;
o Finance and auditing;
o Human resources, industrial relations and payroll;
o Information, data and records management;
o Logistics;
o Purchasing, procurement and contracting;
o Quality management; and
o Strategic planning.

 

2.1 Legal and Other Requirements

In developing a WHS Policy where you have stated the organisation’s commitment to complying with relevant WHS legislation.

In order to meet this commitment, you will need to establish how the organisation plans to:

o Identify and monitor the content of WHS Legislation, Standards, Codes of practice, agreements and guidelines relevant to your activities, products and services;
o Advise Workers of the legislation, Standards and Codes as they apply to their own roles; and
o Keep abreast of any changes.
o The scope of the organisation’s requirements are likely to include:
o The relevant State and or Territory WHS legislation;
o WHS Regulations and Codes of practice relevant to the organisation’s activities i.e. Management and control of asbestos, manual handling, etc.;
o Other local, state and federal laws which may apply to the organisation;
o Industry and Employer association guidelines; and
o Contracts or agreements with suppliers.

Consider the case study you are working with in order to complete this activity.

Complete the template below, or complete and submit as a separate attachment (ensure ALL current, relevant legislative and compliance requirements documents in this register, not just the WHS legislation e.g. the relevant Fair Work legislation or bullying and harassment legislation). Clearly label any attachments. List the file names of any attachments in the ‘Evidence to Submit’ table on page 4.

Standards or Guidance
Example: AS/NZS 3745:2010 Planning for emergencies in facilities http://www.standards.org.au/
2.2 Objectives, Targets and Performance Indicators

Setting measurable objectives and targets gives you the means to evaluate the organisations WHS performance. Objectives and targets can apply broadly across the organisation or be more narrow or relevant to specific activities or circumstances and should relate to the overall objectives set out in the WHS Policy developed in 1.1. Develop a WHS Policy. Consider the case study you are working with in order to complete the task

Targets define performance levels and timeframes. They need to be clear, measurable and realistic. To measure whether objectives and targets have been met, you will need to establish Performance Indicators. Performance Indicators also provide evidence of due diligence and its implementation, which is invaluable.

Example of Relationship between Policy and Indicators
WHS Policy Objective Endeavour to prevent injury and illness in the workplace
Site Specific Objective To eliminate injuries associated with operating a forklift
Target To achieve zero harm in the next 12-month period
Performance Indicator (Lag) The percentage of injuries associated with operating a forklift
Performance Indicator (Lead) Number of workers who participated in safe forklift ops training

You are required to:

o Develop specific objectives, targets and performance indicators in consultation with Workers; and
o Establish a system for recording objectives and targets and measuring your performance.

IMPORTANT: These objectives, targets and performance indicators will be recorded in 2.3 WHS Management Plan Matrix.

Complete the template below, or complete and submit as a separate attachment. Clearly label any attachments. List the file names of any attachments in the ‘Evidence to Submit’ table on page 4.

2.2 Objectives, Targets and Performance Indicators
WHS Policy Objective Specific Objective Target Performance Indicator Lead or Lag Indicator?
Example: Providing workers and visitors with a healthy and safe work environment. Housekeeping to reduce the risk of Slips, Trips and Falls. Reduce incident and injury rates by 20% within 6 months in relation to Slips, Trips and Falls. Example: Providing workers and visitors with a healthy and safe work environment. Housekeeping to reduce the risk of Slips, Trips and Falls.

2.3 WHS Management Plan Matrix

For the purpose of training, the WHS Management Plans key elements will be recorded in a matrix format. This matrix serves as a guide in the development of the WHS Management Plan. Consider the case study you are working with in order to complete this activity.

The WHS Management Plan Matrix will document how the organisation plans to:
o Comply with relevant legal requirements;
o Document and achieve the organisations WHS objectives and targets and within a specified timeframe;
o Assign responsibility for the achievement of goals and targets
o Manage specific WHS risks in the workplace;
o Monitor and record progress;
o Establish a review schedule and criteria for special review; and
o Allocate resources.

The WHS Management Plan Matrix needs to be reviewed by relevant management personnel on a regular basis to ensure that:
o Targets are realistic;
o Risks are current and managed;
o Priorities are in line with the WHS Policy; and
o The allocation of resources remains appropriate.

A review should also occur when there are changes to activities, products, services or legislation.
Specifically, the WHS Management Plan as a minimum will need to include the following items:
o Responsibilities and Accountabilities;
o Hazard Management Tools;
o Training and Competency;
o Emergency Plans;
o Legal and Regulatory Compliance;
o Monitoring and Reviews;
o Risk Management;
o Injury Management.

Using the outcomes of 2.1 and 2.2 and additional research for further information, complete the WHS Management Plan Matrix.

There is a wealth of information that can be accessed and researched to assist in developing the WHS Management Plan, for example:

o AS/NZS 4804:2001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems – General guidelines on principles, systems and supporting techniques
o AS/NZS 4801:2001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems – Specification with guidance for use
o OHSAS 18001:2007 Occupational health and safety management systems – Requirements

3.4 Document Control and Managing WHS Records

It is vital to maintain records of the WHSMS. Records show Regulators, Insurers, workers and others that the organisation has taken all reasonable steps required to provide workers and others with a workplace that hazards, and risks are managed as much as reasonably practicable to reduce the probability of injury and harm occurring.

Records also demonstrate the effectiveness of the organisations WHS processes and procedures and can be used to measure whether WHS performance in the workplace has improved over time.

The Work Health and Safety Information System (WHSIS) is an organised system for the collection, organisation, storage and communication of information. The information needs to be organised so that it is easy to use and easy to access for all users.

3.4.1 Managing WHS Records

Records may include:
o Training and formal Qualifications and Certificates;
o Registers (Example: asbestos registers);
o The risk assessment and hazard identification process;
o Incident report forms;
o WHS meeting minutes; and
o Environmental monitoring including noise assessments.

In this activity you are required to determine any regulatory requirements and then develop a process for managing your records.

You will need to provide a minimum of five (5) examples for each section.

3.5 Hazards and Risks

In developing the WHS Policy, you will have identified and stated how you will meet your commitment to identifying, assessing and controlling hazards and risks in the workplace.

In order to meet this commitment, you will need to:

o Identify potentially hazardous situations in the workplace which may cause injury, illness or harm;
o Assess the likelihood and consequence of the exposure to risk;
o Identify and implement control measures for eliminating or reducing the risk;
o Continuously review these measures to ensure the effectiveness of the controls.

Make sure you refer to your relevant State or Territory WHS Regulator for further information and guidance if required.

In the following activities you are required to contribute to the development of the WHS Management Plan by developing an outline of the following:

o Establish a Risk Management procedure for identifying and assessing risks and assigning controls; and
o Develop the tools for managing and recording hazards, risks and controls including:
 WHS Risk Register;
 Hazard Identification Tools/Checklists.

3.5.1 Risk Management Procedure

The Risk Management Procedure outlines how an organisation will comply with its legal requirement to identify hazards and control risks arising from its activities. This procedure ensures that there is a consistent approach across the organisation.

Complete the template provided for 3.5.1 Risk Management Procedure to outline your overall Risk Management Procedure that will form part of your overall WHS Management Plan. Consider how it relates to the case study or your workplace in order to complete this activity. You may decide to develop an Isolation or High-Risk Activity Supervision procedure for example.

3.5.4 Hazards Associated with Plant

Plant includes machinery, equipment, appliances, containers, implements and tools and any components or anything fitted or connected to those things. Plant includes items as diverse as lifts, cranes, computers, machinery, conveyors, forklifts, vehicles, power tools, quad bikes, mobile plant and amusement devices.
The general duty of care under the WHS Act applies to this type of plant. Plant that relies exclusively on manual power for its operation and is designed to be primarily supported by hand, for example a screwdriver, is not covered by the WHS Regulations.
Plant is a major cause of work-related death and injury in Australian workplaces. There are significant risks associated with using plant and severe injuries can result from the unsafe use of plant including:
o Limbs amputated by unguarded moving parts of machines
o Being crushed by mobile plant
o Sustaining fractures from falls while accessing, operating or maintaining plant
o Being crushed by a quad bike rollover
o Electric shock from plant that is not adequately protected or isolated, and
o Burns or scalds due to contact with hot surfaces, or exposure to flames or hot fluids.
Other risks include hearing loss due to noisy plant and musculoskeletal disorders caused by manually handling or operating poorly designed plant.

Identify two (2) items of plant used (or which could be used) in your workplace and complete the following activity.

3.6 Internal and External Reporting

Workers are often the first ones to become aware of WHS hazards.

Reporting is a useful tool for:
o Identifying trends; and
o Understanding why incidents occur and whether the actions taken to prevent them have been effective or not.

You will be required to establish internal procedures for:
o Reporting hazards;
o Incident reporting and investigating incidents;
o Reporting and resolution of WHS issues; and
o Reporting on WHS performance.

You will also need to establish external reporting procedures for:
o Reporting to the organisations Workers Compensation Insurer;
o Statutory reporting i.e. reporting of notifiable incidents, death, serious injury or illness or a dangerous incident to the appropriate authorities; and
o Stakeholder reporting including annual reports.
Complete the template for internal and external WHS reporting relevant to the case study or your workplace. Ensure specific examples are provided for each i.e. notifiable incident reporting to the Regulator.
