Employers have a responsibility to protect workers against health and safety hazards at work.
Workers have the right to know about potential hazards and to refuse work that they believe is
dangerous. Workers also have a responsibility to work safely with hazardous materials. Being
a health and safety representative is not always easy, but helping to protect the lives of your
fellow workers is worth all the time and effort you put into the job.
Select any ONE [1] of the following topic for research and write-up of report. Students are
requested to search for information from reference books and from other sources available on
relevant websites.
1. Identify all relevant hazards in an office workspace and methods (suggestions) to
manage and control only THREE [3] major hazards which have been identified.
2. Identify all relevant hazards in the transportation services (e.g. express bus services)
and methods (suggestions) to manage and control only THREE [3] major hazards
which have been identified.
3. Identify all relevant hazards in a food manufacturing sector and methods (suggestions)
to manage and control only THREE [3] major hazards which have been identified.

Tip: The management and control of hazards should be described in terms of hierarchy of
control. Support your report with photos and pictures.

As health and safety representative your role is to work proactively (this means acting before
hazards become a problem) to prevent workers from being exposed to occupational hazards.
You can do this by making sure management eliminates hazards or keeps them under control
when they cannot be eliminated. Steps to help you reach your goals are:
1. Be well informed about the various hazards in your workplace and the possible solutions for
controlling those hazards.
2. Work together with your union and the employer to identify and control hazards.
3. You may occasionally need to share some of this information with your supervisors and
employer in the process of working towards a safe and healthy workplace.
