Consider you are a supervisor of a division/department within your workplace (e.g. warehouse, restaurant or a retail supermarket). In your organization employees have expressed their concerns about recent incidents/accidents which have affected their work performance and they fear for their own safety. They say their stress levels increase when a customer gets injured because of improper housekeeping. In researching the records you note that there have been 10 slip & trip accidents by staff and customers in the past three months. Five incidents resulted in claims against Workers compensation policy of the company. It is apparent that there is a lack of systematic approach to manage Work Health and Safety.

Now after consultation with your CEO and Operations manager you and your management team have decided to develop and implement a WHS management system for your organization. You understand that it is a huge responsibility which includes a set of plans, activities and processes to be completed within a limited timeframe.

), implement WHS plan in your chosen organization, measure and evaluate WHS performance and finally consider reviewing and continuous improvement. Form a group of not more than three students and present the report and a subsequent presentation on overall implementation. Consider the following points while doing it.
