You are an assistant manager at Colesworths, Bondi Junction. Colesworths is
Australia’s largest supermarket chain. Over the last few years the company has
been dismissive about the importance of WHS. This changed a month ago when both
an employee and customer were seriously injured when the worker, attempting to
put a heavy box on a top shelf, fell off the ladder on to a customer. Not only was the
company heavily fined, but the ensuing publicity caused significant damage to the
company’s reputation.
The company’s CEO has requested that each store delegate an assistant manager
to administer the store’s WHS policies. The CEO has asked that each store submit
a report detailing the provision of WHS information and the implementation of WHS
arrangements.
This initial report is to include:
