Answer 3: The following table about WHS risks and the product life cycle.

Product life cycle stage Explain how safe design is achieved in each phase
in terms of risk control and/or implementation
Information about suitable controls for many common
Develop concept
hazards and risks can be obtained from:
1. codes of practice and guidance material
2. Industry associations and unions.

The risk is controlled through reservation of technical

4. Explain why it is important to ensure that a risk control is sufficiently reliable and robust in
line with the likelihood and impact of that risk. Give an example to illustrate your answer.

to address this.

7. Give an example of a failsafe action that can apply to a risk control to ensure the chances
