safety, number of incidents occurred on particular year, nature of the incidents and various other facts

most occurring hazard at workplace leading to formulation and implementation of strategies
accordingly. So, WHS statistics needs to be reviewed and reported on time.

30. Discuss how the following are used when developing monitoring reports and making

regular follow up can help in decrement in WHS issues as more the worker consults more

he/she becomes aware about the WHS standards and regulations, leading to overall
development of the WHS report.

 consultation processes: During consultation process consultant and worker talks to each
other regarding health and safety issues in workplace, there is mutual communication
between both the parties, which can lead in developing WHS report

 diaries of meetings: diaries of meetings are rough sketch of the issues discussed in meeting;
meeting diaries can be a good source of information leading to development of WHS report.

 WHS information provided to personnel: WHS information plays an important role in health
and safety of workers, more the information is provided more the employees will be aware
regarding health and safety issues. If employee becomes more aware about WHS issues then
hazards can be minimized and safety of worker can be ensured.

Tips for completing your WHS Project

 Read through this assessment and each of the WHS Project activities before you
get started and make sure you understand what you need to do. If you are
unsure, speak to your assessor and/or supervisor.

 Stay up to date!

 Stay in touch with your assessor. Ask questions, raise issues, check in,
communicate.

Most importantly, ask for help if you are having trouble!

1. Review key documents from the WHSMS and set up folders.

You now need to review some key documents as preparation for the next steps:

 Workplace Health, Safety and Security Action Plan

 The relevant WHS Policy and Procedures for the kitchen

 WHS Administration Policy

 The evacuation plan including posters and signs.

Make the assumption that items 1, 2 and 5 of the action plan have already been
completed.

Prepare to undertake action items 3, 4 and 6 of the action plan by preparing a briefing
session for staff that will ensure these items are completed.

Set up folder systems on your local drive on your computer as outlined in the WHS
Administration Policy and add the relevant soft copy documents to this. You will be
using this folder system throughout this assessment.

2. Develop WHS informative handouts for staff.

You are required to develop three health and safety information handouts, which are
to be provided to, and discussed with, your team at a WHS briefing.

Read the requirements for each of the handouts below and then conduct research
using the Internet to identify the information needed for each of the handouts and
include information from the kitchen’s WHS Policy and Procedures, and reference this
as required in your handouts.

The format and style for the handouts are as follows:

 Create clear and concise one (1) page handouts using computer software. You

can develop these in any program available to you such as Word, Publisher or
other design program – but Word is fine for this purpose.

 Use simple and clear language that takes into account social and cultural
diversity. For, example, use simple English and avoid informal language or slang.

 Use appropriately sized fonts and present well-formatted, grammatically correct


information.

 Ensure that the handouts you create use the same layout, font, colours and style
so they are consistent in their approach.

You will be required to present the handouts that you have developed at a WHS
briefing session soon. Print one copy of each handout for the training session but save
soft copies to your WHS filing system on your device.

Submit a copy of each handout to your assessor prior to the meeting.

about legislation. Your handout should:

examples of code of practice relevant to your state/territory.

 Outline key roles and responsibilities under WHS legislation.

 Include at least 3 references for further sources of useful information.

Handout 2: Identifying hazards and risk control in the café

provide 5 common examples of hazards that may occur in the kitchen environment

about how employees can complete an incident report and the investigation process
undertaken by the business.

Choose one of the common hazards that you have identified and include a simple
step-by-step procedure for dealing with that hazard (risk control), using diagrams to
illustrate each step where possible.

Your handout should also address and explain the hierarchy of control and how it is to
be used in the workplace.

the relevant form from the WHSMS. Your assessor will set up the room prior to you
conducting the inspection.

risk control measures.

You will be assessed on whether you have correctly identified the hazards and suitable
corrective actions and risk control measures.

involved. Give a verbal commentary on what you are doing, so your assessor can
follow the thinking behind your actions. In particular, your commentary should
demonstrate how you are using the hierarchy of control to determine the best
procedures to implement.
