of the assessment.
Scenario
For this assessment, you are a newly hired Administration Team Leader who works for Grow Management
Consultants. You are responsible for a team of eight, four of whom are part time and six of whom work at
least one day per week from home. Your manager has sent you an email:
From: Geraldine.H@GrowManagementConsultants.com
Subject: Workplace Inspections
Attachment: Meeting Preparation Worksheet.doc
Good morning,
As we have previously discussed, it is imperative that regular workplace inspections are being conducted. At some
stage this week I would like you to meet with your team to conduct a risk assessment of the office area in accordance
with our policies and procedures. It is important that all our staff have the knowledge and skills to perform risk
assessments and that they feel comfortable contributing to the hazard identification process.
I know you are still getting used to our policies and procedures, so I would like you to take some time today to read
through our internal WHS and risk processes to ensure you understand our requirements. Additionally, I would
suggest that you conduct some research online to identify data relating to workplace injuries and incidents (some
facts and statistics would be ideal) so you can clearly emphasise the importance of risk management to the team.
Your meeting preparation should include:
1. Overview of Grow Management Consultants policies, procedures and systems applicable to hazard and risk
management
2. WHS Acts, regulations, codes of practice, standards and guidance material and other publications relevant to WHS
management in our organisation
3. Duty holder requirements in accordance with WHS legislation
4. Nature and scope of the risk assessment based on data and information relating to common hazards found in the
workplace and how best to manage them
5. Tools, techniques and processes you will use to conduct the risk assessment with the team
6. Rough plan for how you will conduct the risk assessment (include sequenced steps and timeframes)
By conducting this preparation, you will be equipped with sufficient information to conduct the risk assessment with
ease and to field any questions the team may have. To help you structure your meeting preparation, I have attached a
worksheet for you to use.
To keep yourself organised and to ensure files and documents are stored safely, please save all risk related
documentation in a desktop folder called ‘Risk Management_ Admin’. Eventually I will get you access to G: Drive but
just use your desktop for now.
Kind Regards
Geraldine Healey
Operations Manager

Complete the following activities:
1. Conduct a risk assessment

With your meeting preparation complete, you must now meet with the team and take the lead
in conducting a risk assessment in your training environment. Your assessor will set up the
room to ensure there will be at least two hazards for identification. To do this, you will need to:
• Print a copy of the Workplace Safety Checklist (or have access to this on a handheld device)
• Meet with your team and discuss:
o Context of the risk assessment
o Process you will take
o Overview of hazards/risks to look out for
• Conduct a walk-around of your training environment and complete each section of the
Workplace Safety Checklist with your team. Everyone must contribute equally.
• During the meeting, you must provide the members of your team the opportunity to ask
questions.
• During and after the risk assessment you will be required to demonstrate a range of skills
including:
o Speaking clearly and concisely
o Using non-verbal communication to assist with understanding
o Asking questions to identify required information
o Responding to questions as required
o Using active listening techniques to confirm understanding
o Monitoring adherence to legislative and organisational requirements
• Save your completed document in your desktop folder (or upload photographic evidence if
handwritten)
• Submit to your assessor
Note: You are assessed individually in this assessment, not as a group. You must ensure that
you play an equal part in identifying the hazards and risks while demonstrating collaboration
and leadership skills.
2. Complete risk register
Based on the hazards you identified during the inspection you completed in question 1, you
must now determine the risks and applicable controls. To do this, you will need to:
• Based on the hazards identified in the Workplace Safety Checklist, document corresponding
risks into the Risk Register (a minimum of three risks must be documented)
• Using the risk rating in the Risk Policies and Procedures, determine the consequences,
likelihood and priority for each risk
• Evaluate and select a minimum of two (2) risk controls for each risk
• Document the person responsible, a timeframe and monitoring requirements for each risk
• Save your completed risk register in your desktop folder
• Send the risk register via email to the Operations Manager (your assessor) which includes
an overview of how the meeting went and a brief overview of the contents of your risk
register. The text of the email should be in grammatically correct English, written in an
appropriate (polite, business-like) style.
3. Implement controls
As instructed in the email from your manager, you must develop an ergonomics fact sheet and
send to all staff. To do this, you will need to:
• Develop a one-page fact sheet (using the Fact Sheet Template or by designing your own) which
explains:
o Ergonomic hazards and risks
o Ergonomic tips for correct workstation setup
o Three (3) ways to prevent musculoskeletal disorders
• Save your completed fact sheet in your desktop folder
• Send the fact sheet via email to all staff (your assessor) which includes an overview of
ergonomic hazards and risks and how they can be prevented. The text of the email should be
in grammatically correct English, written in an appropriate (polite, business-like) style.
4. Store documents
As instructed by your manager in Assessment 2, you are required to systematically store all of
your documents in your ‘Risk Management_Admin’ desktop folder. You must now provide
evidence of this. To do this, you will need to:
• Take a screen shot of your desktop folder
• Paste it into a blank word document or save as a JPEG file
• Submit a copy to your assessor
