Scenario A :A WAMCo project to construct a 25-storey residential-retail complex has been under way for one week. You are the supervisor of one of the work teams. The project team is still getting used to working together, and the challenges presented by the site. New hazards seem to be discovered every day.

1. List three (3) different means by which you might go about identifying hazards on the site
2. Choose one (1) of the means you listed in the previous question, and describe it in more detail.
3. Who would you report a new hazard to? Give their role, referring to the WAMCo WHSMS.
4. In which WAMCo document would you record a new hazard?

Scenario B:An extension ladder used in a previous WAMCo project snapped at its mid-point, and was repaired by bolting a metal brace to the frame. A worker is about half-way up, and you notice the ladder is wobbling where the brace is attached.

1. What is the risk if no action is taken?
2. What action should you take immediately?
3. You have just witnessed a 'near miss'. Does WAMCo classify a near miss as an incident? If so, in which WAMCo form should you record what you have just seen?
4. What might be better way of controlling this risk? Describe the way, and the level of the Hierarchy of Control to which it corresponds.
5. If the way you described in the previous question is actioned, and a ladder comes back for your team to use, what should you do to confirm it is safe to use, and to ensure that your team understands the safe use of ladders in general?

Scenario C:The WAMCo project described in the previous question is progressing. It is week 6 of the project, and the project manager tells you that you will need three workers who are qualified to work in enclosed spaces, and not one only as you previously thought.

1. List three (3) ways in which the WAMCo manager could go about determining the WHS training needs of the project team.
2. You have decided, in consultation with senior management, to send two (2) team members away for off-site training in working in enclosed spaces.The training will take place at a specialised construction college, and be of one (1) full day's duration. The college's fee will be $1250 per participant. Your project manager with have to arrange for two (2) workers to be temporarily transferred from another WAMCo project nearby, to cover for the two team members who will be away at training. The cost to WAMCO of this arrangement will be $550 per temporary worker per day.

(i) What will be the total cost of training?

(ii) With which WAMCo person will you have to negotiate to have this funding approved? Give name and role.
