List the key provisions of relevant WHS acts, regulations and codes of practice (one of each) that apply to SecureIT, as well as the name of each act, regulation and code of practice.

Name of act/ regulation/ code of practice	Key provisions
1. Management Commitment and Employee Involvement.	The manager or management team leads the way by setting up the policy, assigning and supporting responsibility, setting a positive example, and involving employees
Worksite analysis	The worksite is continually analysed to identify all existing and potential hazards to prevent or control existing or potential hazards are administered and maintained.
Training for Employees, Supervisors, and Managers.	Training for E. Managers, supervisors, and employees are trained to understand and deal with worksite hazards.

Explain SecureITs WHS policies and procedures for each of the following:

Hazard identification and Risk management

Fire

Emergency and evacuation

Incident investigation and reporting

Consultation

Training

Outline the workplace WHS responsibilities, in relation to risk management, of the following duty holders.

Worker (e.g. Employee)

Officer (e.g. Supervisor or Manager)

Persons conducting businesses or undertakings (PCBU).

a. A worker is a person who carries out work for a small business or undertaking, including work as an employee or:

contractor

subcontractor

self-employed person

outworker

apprentice or trainee

work experience student

employee of a labour hire company placed with a host employer

volunteers.

The term work is not defined in the model WHS laws and has its ordinary meaning.

While at work, workers must take reasonable care for their own health and safety, and that of others who may be affected by the workers acts or omissions.

A worker must also:

comply, so far as they are reasonably able, with any reasonably instruction that is given by thePCBUto comply with themodel WHS Actand

cooperate with any reasonable policy or procedure of thePCBUrelating to health or safety at the workplace that has been notified to workers.

b. An officer is someone who:

makes, or participates in making, significant decisions that affect the whole, or a substantial part, of the business, or

has the capacity to significantly affect the business financial standing.

For small businesses, officers are usually the owners or operators of the business.

An officer of aPCBUhas a duty to exercise due diligence to ensure a business or undertaking complies with their duties under themodel WHS laws. An officer can be prosecuted for failing to exercise due diligence.

c. APCBUhas a primary duty to ensure the health and safety of workers while they are at work in the business or undertaking and others who may be affected by the carrying out of work.

Whether a person conducts a business or undertaking is a fact to be determined in each case. Usually:

a business is conducted with a view to make profit and will have some organisation, system and continuity.

an undertaking will have some organisation, systems, and possible continuity, but are usually not profit-making or commercial.

Write a brief overview of the hierarchy of controls in risk assessment that apply to SecureIT

The overview of the hierarchy of controls in risk management that apply to secure it are

1. Elimination: physically removing a hazard from a workplace, is the most effective stage of the hierarchy of controls. When hazards are eliminated or removed from a work environment, they no longer have the potential to negatively impact employees.

2.Substitution, or replacing a hazardous item or activity with something less hazardous, is the second-most effective stage of safety control. Substitution serves a similar purpose to elimination, as it removes a hazard from the workplace or decreases the potential for the hazard to negatively affect employees. If a workplace process is still in its design or development phase, substitution can be an inexpensive and streamlined method for managing a hazard.

3. Engineering controls, or designing purposeful solutions that physically separate employees from hazards, are the third-most effective stage of safety control. Many organizations favor engineering controls to remove the hazard at the source, rather than after an employee comes into contact with a hazard. Its important to note that while engineering controls can sometimes be costly to implement, they typically result in lower overall operating costs due to the new safety features.

4.Administrative controls, or changes to the way employees work and perform particular processes, are the fourth-most effective stage of safety control. Administrative controls are typically employed alongside other existing processes in which hazards are not totally controlled.

PPE is physical equipment worn or used by employees while they perform their work, are the fifth- or least-most effective stage of the hierarchy of controls. Like administrative controls, PPE is typically used alongside preexisting processes that haven't completely controlled the occupational hazard. Using PPE as a safety control is typically very costly in the long term and can be somewhat ineffective if worn or used improperly.

What are some ways of keeping up to date with changes to both WHS legislation and organisation WHS policies and procedures? List one suggestion for each.

Why every organization must regularly consult with its employees and WHS representatives in order to achieve safety at workplace? Also suggest ways how it can be done.

What do you know about Code of Practice? What is the significance of Code of Practice in relation to WHS, explain clearly?

What is reasonably practicable in ensuring health and safety? Explain with an example.

Identify the need to adopt a good record keeping in relation to WHS. What are the different records you must keep to follow WHS policy in your organization?

Consider you are working as shift-supervisor in a departmental store which stocks and sells groceries, frozen sea-foods and other regular household items. You supervise a team of 12 staff members from different sections. Now, the Store Manager has advised you to determine the WHS training requirements of your staff. She wants a report on this matter by the end of next month. Discuss how you are going to achieve that?
