Assessment Task 1 Instructions

Provide answers to all of the questions below:
1.Identify and document the title and date of the WHS/OHS Act and Regulation for the
state in which you are located.
Business owners are responsible for health and safety in the workplace. Previously known as
Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S), find out more about WHS laws and workers'
compensation.
As the workers' compensation insurer for the Australian Government, Comcare provides
safety, rehabilitation and compensation services to Australian Government employees.
Amendments to the model WHS laws do not automatically apply in a jurisdiction. For an
amendment to the model WHS Act apply in a jurisdiction, it must be passed by the
Parliament of the jurisdiction and subsequently enacted. For an amendment to the model
WHS Regulations to apply in a jurisdiction, it must be made by the person who makes
regulations for that jurisdiction.
You can seek advice from the jurisdictional WHS regulator about whether amendments
to the model WHS laws have been implemented in that jurisdiction.
Regulations
set out the standards you need to meet for specific hazards and risks, such as noise,
machinery, and manual handling. They also set out the licenses you need for specific
activities, the records you need to keep, and the reports you need to make.
2. Identify the purpose of a WHS code of practice and give an example.
A code of practice provides detailed information on how you can achieve the standards
required under the work health and safety (WHS) laws Under the Work Health and Safety
Act 2011, codes of practice are admissible in court proceedings.

BSBWHS521 V1.0
lOMoARcPSD|9378845
An approved code of practice is a practical guide (developed by Safe Work Australia,

informed by public comment and approved by the Workplace Relations Ministers’ Council)
to assist you in complying with your health and safety duties under the WHS Act and
Regulations. As a duty holder, you need to consider all risks associated with work you carry
out, not only the ones that the codes of practice specifically point out.
Model codes of practice are largely based on existing jurisdictional codes – these
existing codes will remain in place until the draft codes of practice have been approved.
In most cases, following an approved code of practice would result in your compliance with
the health and safety duties in the WHS Act relating to the subject matter of that code.
It is important to remember though, that codes of practice deal with particular issues and do
not cover each and every hazard or risk which may arise in your workplace.
3. Outline the factors that must be taken into account in determining control measures
for hazardous manual tasks as stated in the model Work Health and Safety Regulations
2011.
Model codes of practice
The following codes of practice have been approved by members of the Workplace Relations
Ministers’ Council (WRMC) and are referred to as the model codes of practice.
If your workplace is involved with any of the areas mentioned below, please find and refer
to the relevant code of practice at the Safe Work Australia website.
The model codes of practice are:
 Managing Noise and Preventing Hearing Loss at Work

 Managing the Work Environment and Facilities
 Work Health and Safety Consultation Cooperation and Coordination
 How to Safely Remove Asbestos
 How to Manage and Control Asbestos in the Workplace
 How to Manage Work Health and Safety Risks
 Hazardous Manual Tasks
 Managing the Risk of Falls at Workplaces
 Labelling of Workplace Hazardous Chemicals
 Preparation of Safety Data Sheets for Hazardous Chemical
 Confined Spaces
4. Define the term duty holder under WHS/OHS legislation and the primary duty of care of
a PCBU under WHS legislation.
A Duty Holder in Australian WHS law is like sports club administrators who take steps to
ensure that all matters relating to the sport are managed in accordance with the club’s
constitution and who are answerable to the club’s coverning body.

BSBWHS521 V1.0
lOMoARcPSD|9378845
A PCBU may be an individual person or an organisation conducting a business or

undertaking. PCBUs – A PCBU (Person Undertaking a Business or Undertaking) is the legal
entity operating a business or undertaking.
Examples of PCBUs that are organisations include:
 cooperatives that are companies
 government departments and authorities
 incorporated associations if they employ someone
 local authorities (municipal corporations or councils)
 schools
Examples of PCBUs who are individuals include:
 partners in partnerships
 sole traders and the self employed
 individual trustees of trusts (as with some family businesses)
 Committee members of unincorporated associations if they
employ someone.
 public companies
 private companies
 trustees that are companies
 cooperatives that are companies
5. Outline two examples of a WHS policy that a business may implement.
WHS policy 1:
 aims to ensure all work activities are done safely.

 aims to remove or reduce the risks to the health, safety and welfare of all
workers, contractors and visitors, and anyone else who may be affected by our
business operations
 shows the commitment of (your business name)’s management and workers to
health and safety
• Workers are responsible for: ensuring their own personal health and safety, and
that of others in the workplace
 complying with any reasonable directions (such as safe work procedures, wearing
personal protective equipment) given by management for health and safety
BSBWHS521 V1.0
lOMoARcPSD|9378845
Responsibilities
 Management (the supervisor and / or manager) is responsible for providing and
maintaining:
 facilities for the welfare of all workers
 any information, instruction, training and supervision needed to make sure that
all workers are safe from injury and risks to their health
 safe systems of work
 WHS policy 2:
This policy applies to all business operations and functions, including those situations where
workers are required to work off-site.
The Work Health and Safety Act 2012, the Work Health and Safety Regulations 2012 and
applicable Codes of Practice and Australian Standards as far as possible.
Management is firmly committed to a policy enabling all work activities to be carried out
safely, and with all possible measures taken to remove risks to the health, safety and welfare
of workers, contractors, authorised visitors, and anyone else who may be affected by our
operations.
Each worker has an obligation to:
 wear personal protective equipment and clothing where necessary

 comply with any direction given by management for health and safety
 not misuse or interfere with anything provided for health and safety
Management:
 Will provide and maintain as far as possible: facilities for the welfare of
workers
 information, instruction, training and supervision that is reasonably necessary
to ensure that each worker is safe from injury and risks to health
 a commitment to consult and co-operate with workers in all matters relating to
health and safety in the workplace
6. Explain the process of risk assessment and control in workplace health and safety.
This Risk Assessment and Control template must be completed when assessing risk, and then
add this to the ‘Risk Rating’ column. Discuss with relevant colleagues, Senator/Member the
process or task that presents as a hazard, any associated hazards, risks and controls. In the
‘Hazards Involved’ column, list the hazards identified. Risk assessment is the overall process
of risk identification, risk analysis and risk evaluation.
Risk assessment involves the determination of the potential effects of the hazard and how
the hazard occurs.
To determine the potential effects, it may be necessary to consult any or all of the
following:
• Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for a substance
• the manufacturer
• relevant literature

BSBWHS521 V1.0
lOMoARcPSD|9378845
• other like workplaces

• industry associations.
7. Explain three ways in which hazards can be identified in the workplace.
Identifying the Hazards: Comprehensive identification is critical, because a risk not identified
at this stage may be excluded from further analysis. The identification of the risks to be
managed is achieved by generating a comprehensive list of hazards that might compromise
safety.
There are a number of methods by which hazards can be identified. These include:
 Walk-through inspection
 Near-miss, incident, accident, injury and illness records and date.
 Consultation with health and safety representatives, as well as specialist
practitioners, representatives of industry associations etc.
 Safety Data Sheets, Product Labels and manufacturers specifications.
 Consultation with staff and peers
• Work process evaluation - examine the manner in which tasks are performed to
determine if they could they lead to increased risks
8. Describe the purpose of the hierarchy of control and each of the options available
from most effective to least effective. Provide an example for each in terms of how it
may be applied in a workplace
 When this is not possible the risk must be minimised using one or more of the
options from the hierarchy of controls. The risk control measure selected must be
the highest possible option in the hierarchy to minimise the risk to the lowest level
that is reasonably practicable.
 Step 1: Eliminate the risk by removing the hazard, e.g. removing a broken chair
from the workplace.
 Step 2: If elimination of the risk by removing the hazard is not reasonably
practicable then the hierarchy of controls must be followed to minimise the risk:
 It is a mandatory requirement of the WHS legislation that risks should be
controlled
 Eliminate the hazard: Remove trip hazards on the floor of a corridor,
disposing of unwanted chemicals, etc.
• Substitute with something that is safer:
 Use smaller packages to reduce the weight of items that have to be manually
handled, use a less toxic chemical, use scaffolding instead of ladders to reduce the
risk of falls.
 Isolate the hazard: Use sound proof barriers to reduce noise levels, use an
enclosed spray booth for spray painting, and use remote control systems to
operate machinery, store chemicals in a fume cabinet.
 Modify tools, equipment or systems of work: Use trolleys or hoists to move heavy
loads, place guards around moving parts of machinery or fit cut- out switches,
install residual current devices.
• Use administrative control measures:
 Use Safe Work Method Statements Job Safety Analysis, permit-to-work systems for
hazardous work, provide training and supervision, regular maintenance of
machinery and equipment, limit exposure time by introducing job rotation.

BSBWHS521 V1.0
lOMoARcPSD|9378845
 Use personal protective: Gloves, hard hats, hearing and eye protection, safety.
9. Give two reasons why it is important to report WHS incidents within the
workplace to relevant persons and identify at least two position holders to whom
incidents may be reported.
When reporting is done well and acted upon, it can help engender a consistent
mindset of wariness, and provide opportunities for reform rather than repair.
Reporting is important if resilient safety cultures are to become the industry norm. An WHS
incident report is an official document, generally developed as a form, to record the key
details of an incident in the workplace. Incidents can take many shapes from property
damage, theft or security-related issues, accidents, injuries as well as.
Everyone has a duty to report incidents to their supervisor or manager, whether or not
someone is hurt. This obligation applies to:
 employees
 self-employed persons
 contractors and their employees.
 For the self-employed and contracting companies, the incident also needs to be
communicated to the mining or exploration operation they are engaged by.
• The risk register holds a list of the key risks that need to be monitored and
managed for each program area. The risk assessment data collected from
identifying, assessing and controlling risks is to be sent to The Executive Officer
who will manage the information as a centralised risk register for The Hut and will
report on them, as appropriate, to the WHS Committee which is to monitor that
the schedule of assessments and inspections is met.
10. Identify the three events that are defined as ‘notifiable incidents’ and the period
of time for which employers must keep records of these incident.
Only serious events are intended to be notified. These trigger requirements to preserve the
site, notify the regulator and keep records. The notifiable incident, illness, injury or death
must arise out of the conduct of the business or undertaking. It could be due to the
condition of the work site, the way the work activity is organised, or the way equipment or
substances are used
A notifiable event is any of the following events that arise from work:
 a notifiable illness or injury or
 a notifiable incident.
 a death
 A PCBU must ensure the regulator is notified as soon as possible after it becomes
aware of a notifiable event arising from the conduct of the business

BSBWHS521 V1.0
lOMoARcPSD|9378845
or undertaking. This notification must be done even if emergency services attend.

Only one notification is required for each notifiable event.
 If there are multiple PCBUs, who is responsible for notifying?
 If multiple PCBUs are involved in the work, one PCBU should be nominated to
notify the regulator. However, all PCBUs are responsible for ensuring a notification
is made.
11. Within what time period within which an employer must notify their worker’s
compensation insurer where a work has received a workplace injury?
The regulator must be notified by the fastest means possible given the circumstances. A
PCBU must ensure the regulator is notified as soon as possible after it becomes aware of a
notifiable event arising from the conduct of the business or undertaking.
The person giving the notification must provide details about the notifiable event as
requested by the regulator.
For phone notifications, the regulator will send an acknowledgement that the
notification has been received.
All notifications to WorkSafe are referred to WorkSafe’s Response team. Each notification is
looked at to decide what WorkSafe will do. The PCBU must keep records of notifiable events
for at least five years from the date the regulator was notified about the event.
 Dangerous incident arising out of workplace or undertaking/carried out by a

business.
The time period for which employers must keep records of these incident is for 5 years.

1. Fatigue management report
Introduction
Fatigue is the state of feeling very tired, weary or sleepy. It is physical or mental exhaustion
that can be triggered by stress, medication, overwork or mental and physical illness or
disease. Everyone experiences fatigue occasionally. It is the body’s way of signalling its need
for rest and sleep. But when fatigue becomes a persistent feeling of tiredness or exhaustion
that goes beyond normal sleepiness, it is usually a sign that something more serious is amiss.
Physically, fatigue is characterized by a profound lack of energy, feelings and muscle
weakness, insufficient sleep, mental or physical work or extended periods of stress or
anxiety.
Problems associated with fatigue

It is difficult to evaluate fatigue because fatigue hard to measure accurately. It is difficult to
separate the effects of long working hours or lack of sleep to any changes in accident or
injury rates.
However, the impacts/problems occurred by the fatigue are probably-
 Reduce productivity and performance
 Tendency for risk-taking
 Increase accidents rates
 Reduce decision-making ability
 Errors in judgement
 Reduced complex planning skills
 Reduced ability to communicate properly
 Sick time and absenteeism
 Failure to respond to changes in surroundings or information provided
 Reduce reaction time-both in speed and thought
 Unable to stay awake (falling asleep while operating machinery or driving a
vehicle.
Signs of fatigue
During the fatigue the person will affected physically, mentally and emotionally. The
symptoms of fatigue are given below:
 Dizziness
 Chronic tiredness or sleepiness
 Headache
 Sore or aching muscles
 Moodiness, such as irritability
 Slowed reflexes and responses
 Muscle weakness
 Burry vision

 Poor concentration
 Short-term memory problems
 Reduced ability to pay attention to the situation at hand
 Low motivation
 Impaired hand-to-eye coordination

Risks associated with fatigue and procedures for managing the risk of fatigue. Fatigue may
increase the risk of incidents because of a lack of alertness. Fatigue may result in a slower
reaction to signals or situations and affect the ability to make good decisions, particularly
when:
 operating fixed or mobile plant including driving vehicles
 undertaking critical tasks that require a high level of concentration
 undertaking night or shift work when a person would ordinarily be sleeping
Measures to manage the risks associated with fatigue will vary from one workplace to the
next, depending on the nature of the work, environmental conditions and individual factors.
The risks associated with fatigue can be managed by following a systematic process which
involves:
 identifying the factors which may cause fatigue in the workplace
 if necessary, assessing the risks of injury from fatigue
 controlling risks by implementing the most effective control measures
reasonably practicable in the circumstances, and
reviewing control measures to ensure they are working as planned
Proposed strategies for managing fatigue and relationship to hierarchy of control

As with a safety management policy, the fatigue management policy document outlines
what commitments an organisation will make in order to manage fatigue- related risk and
how these mitigations will be conducted in the organisation.
1.Hours of work: The primary goal of monitoring hours of work is to measure the
extent to which the organisation provides workers with an adequate sleep
opportunity. As sleep opportunity is reduced, the likelihood that a worker will be
fatigued increases. Working hours should be designed to allow for adequate
sleep opportunity and sufficient recovery time between shifts for travelling,
family/leisure activities, eating, washing and sleeping.
2) Identify hazards: A number of sources can be utilised to fully understand the extent
and severity of fatigue-related risks. This may include one or more of the
following:
Consultation with workers
 Workplace inspection (i.e. environment, equipment, materials, substances,
tasks)
 Consideration of the organisation and management of work
 Data analysis (i.e. hours of work records, incident data).
3) Assess risks: Once fatigue-related hazards have been identified, the next step is to assess
the risk in order to prioritise control measures. This step involves:
 Identifying
control measures currently in place to manage the risk by either reducing the
consequence or likelihood of the risk

BSBWHS521 V1.0
lOMoARcPSD|9378845
 Assessing the effectiveness of current control measures

 Identifying the likelihood of the risk occurring with current control measures in place
 Identifying the potential consequence or impact that would result if the risk was to
occur
 Determining whether additional control measures are required. A Fatigue Hazard
Checklist has been provided in the APIA Fatigue Management Handbook to assist
organisations the factors contributing to fatigue. Version 1.0 - 06/06/2014 Page 7 of 13
4) Treat risks:
A certain amount of fatigue in the workplace may be acceptable provided the risks are
adequately managed. Adopting a hierarchy of risk control measures allows organisations to
effectively manage the level of risk associated with fatigue, so far as is reasonably
practicable.
5) Monitor and review: The risk management process should be continually
monitored and reviewed to ensure
 Controls are working effectively
 Changes in the workplace have not negatively impacted the effectiveness of
current controls
 New hazards are identified
 The impact resulting from changes to legislation and best practice are considered.
6) Record keeping: Accurate records of the risk management process should be kept,
including:
 Risk assessment attendance sheet  Signed risk assessment template outlining: o
Hazards identified; o Assessment of the risks associated with those hazards; o Decisions on
control measures to manage exposure to the risks; o Timeframes and responsibilities for
implementation; and o Any checklist/s used during the process.  Evidence of monitoring
and review of the effectiveness of control measures.
Training and education Appropriate training and education should be provided to workers
and their families to assist them identify the signs and symptoms of fatigue, and provide
them with information and techniques to manage fatigue effectively. It is important this
training also includes familiarisation with the relevant policies and procedures.
Management, supervisors, local fatigue champions and rostering personnel should also be
provided with training, which provides the knowledge and skills to understand:
 Obligations and responsibilities for various roles
 if the worker was fatigued at the time of the incident whether the error preceding the
incident was consistent with a fatigue-related

3. Identify suitable performance indicators.
• Health and Safety KPIs: Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate

To work out the LTIFR you multiply the number of lost time injuries by 1,000,000 then divide
that number by the total number of hours worked in an organization. So if you have 8 lost
time injuries and 3 million hours worked, your LTIFR is 2.6. This refers to the number of lost
time injuries that happen per million hours worked. So a ‘LTIFR’ of 8, would mean that 8 lost
time injuries take place every million hours worked.
 Health and Safety KPIs: Equipment Breakdowns

BSBWHS521 V1.0
lOMoARcPSD|9378845
By measuring the number of equipment breakdown and creating a goal to improve

this number, you affect both safety and production. Since often when critical
equipment breaks down, there is a loss of activity. Most importantly, this is a strong
lead indicator that will play a huge role in the reduction of incidents, since a large
percentage of incidents happen due to the state of the equipment used.
 Health and Safety KPIs: Fitness Assessments
Offering free health checks in the workplace and monitoring the results can have a
positive effect on both the individual and the workplace. If an independent assessor
is used, staff will benefit from the reviews, but an organization can have an overall
understanding of the health level as a team, and proactively work to change this,
introducing programs and improving the physical environment. Measure the
success of such programs via KPIs that look at take-up and satisfaction levels.
 Health and Safety KPIs: Average Overtime Hours Per Person
This average is a great KPI to help measure the average time worked by someone
beyond their normal working hours. The idea is that if you keep this number low, it
can mean that an organization is successfully managing workload and reducing the
chance of fatigue in the workplace. You do want to be careful with this KPI, as it is not
applicable to all types of organizations and the definition of ‘overtime’ will vary per
organization.
