Question 9
Name 3 methods you can use to provide staff members the opportunity to contribute their
views on WHS issues.
1. By conducting WHS consultation meetings
5.
Question 10
If you cannot resolve a staff member’s WHS issue or control a hazard yourself, name 3 people
you might refer the issue to in order to find a resolution.
If I cannot resolve a staff member’s WHS issue or contol a hazard myself, then 3 people that I might
refer the issue in order to find a solution are:
Supervisor
Health and safety representative
WHS committee
Question 11
A staff member has raised WHS issues in the workplace which now have been
resolved. Why is it important to communicate the result back the staff member who raised it?
The staff member who highlighted the issue needs to be informed of the solution so that he or she is
aware that the problem has been resolved. Additionally, he must be aware of the approach taken to
resolve the problems so that, should they recur, he can address them. This will also stop the errors or
accidents that may happen in the future.
Question 12
Safe Work Australia’s Code of Practice “How to manage work health and safety risks” lists the
instances when risk management must occur and hazard controls must be used.
List 5 instances when this needs to occur in an organisation
1. Starting a new business or purchasing a business

Satisfactory Not Satisfactory
Trainer’s comment:
Question 20
List 4 pieces of information that should be recorded as a training record for a staff member who
has undertaken WHS training.
1. Individuals that administered the training and their qualifications
Question 21: How can you minimise the environmental impacts of storing documents and files?
We can minimise the environmental impacts of storing documents and files by:
Cloud storage: Along with the benefits to the environment, the accessibility of all paperwork results in space
savings, cost savings for printing and storage, and sometimes even time savings because information needs can be
quickly discovered.
Going paperless: In addition to moving paperwork to the cloud, it is possible to think about if meeting notes can be
taken digitally, whether superfluous printing or photocopying occurs, and whether internal papers may be
exchanged without having physical copies produced of them.
Question 22
Under the WHS legislation, what is an employer’s duty of care in relation to providing a safe
workplace?
The primary duty of an employer is to ensure workplace safety and that no one who works or visits
the location is exposed to risks or injured on the job. For instance, the employer is required to:
guarantee that work areas, equipment, and machinery are maintained in a safe state.
Question 23
If a business chooses to have direct, regular contact between employer and employees instead
of appointing a WHS Committee or appoint WHS Representatives, have they failed to meet the
requirements of the WHS act? Why/Why not?
Add: 59-61 Curzon Street North Melbourne VIC, 3051 | 1300 723 144 | www.skilledup.com.au
SITXWHS003 - Implement and monitor work health and safety practices
No, they have not failed to comply with the WHS Act's requirements because it is possible for a
company to have direct contact between an employee and an employer, in which case the employer
may speak with the employees directly about the WHS policies rather than appointing a WHS
committee or a WHS representative. Small businesses won't have enough money to hire a separate
WHS representative.
Question 24
If a WHS Committee raises a WHS issue with an employer, and the employer does not consider
the issue in a timely fashion, has the employer failed to meet their legal requirements?
Why/Why not?
If an employer raises a WHS issue and the employer does not address it in a timely manner, the
employer has violated the law. This is so that employers can ensure the security of their employees'
health and safety. Anybody could get hurt if they do not solve the problem in a timely manner, which
would indicate they are not abiding by the law.
Question 26
Question no. 25
List two penalities a judge may impose on you if you fail to meet your duties under the WHS act.
An effective forum for discussion of work health and safety matters is a workplace health and safety committee. People
in charge of a business or activity and worker representatives can collaborate to design policies and procedures to
improve work health and safety outcomes by meeting regularly on a committee.

selected, the floorplan(s), emergency procedures, wardens, forms for reports as
relevant etc.)
Selection 2: security 25th August, 2022 1st August, 2022 to 28th Consultation: Consultation will
management of cash, August, 2022 be done through regular
documents, meetings. This will handle
equipment, keys or security magements of cash,
people documents, equipments, keys
or people.
Risk Assessment Process:
Risk assessment involves
what to do about the
saecurity management of
cash, documents,
equipments, keys or
people.
Implementation:
Implementation involves
following the instructions
of manager or trainer on
this.
Monitoring of processes:
The reguar monitoring of
processes is done to check
if the things are being
done properly or not.
Identification of Training:
Proper training related to
security management of
cash, documents,
quipments, keys, people
should be given which
involves virtual as well as
physical lessons.
Needs: Needs must be
fulfilled in order to get the
things done properly.
Evaluation: Entails looking
through all the stages and
required adjustments that have
been made.
Recording of documentation:
Proper documentation such as
risk assessment, monitoring
report, and so on.
Selection 3: handling 10th August, 2022 1st August 2022 to 20th Consultation: It will be carried
chemicals and August, 2022 out through sporadic
hazardous substances gatherings. When an event
occurred at work, such as a
chemical contamination or
explosion, that information will
be conveyed. People involved
include, for instance,
employees and clients.
Risk Assessment Process:
evaluating the dangers of
exposure to harmful
chemicals will be
necessary for this. A toxic
chemical exposure might
have local, systemic, or
both types of toxic effects.
The eyes, skin, nose, lungs,
and digestive tract are
common locations for local
reactions; local effects
involve harm at the site of
initial contact. In a
chemical risk assessment,
potential chemical risks in
the workplace are
identified, and controls are
suggested to minimise
worker injury and
exposure. It evaluates the
handling, storage, and
transportation of
dangerous materials so
that preventative
measures can be done to
lessen injury.
Implementation: will be
carried out to ascertain
the exposure risk or the
percentage of chemical
danger in the workplace.
Determining who has been
exposed to the dangerous
chemicals and, if so,
providing first aid to those
who have. In order to
analyse risks, you must
determine the impact of
the hazards you have
identified as well as their
frequency or probability of
occuring. This is known as
the amount of risk, and it
can be determined using
the following formula.
degree of risk = effect x
probability.
Monitoring of processes:
The processes should be
monitored by the
supervisor.
Identification of Training:
Educate the employees in
the workplace regarding
the identities of the
compounds they work with,
the dangers these
substances cause, and the
safety precautions
employees should take. The
trainings could be
conducted twice in a week
or before new chemicals
are introduced in the
workplace.
Needs: Needs must be
fulfilled so that this
probelm will be solved
nicely and adequately.
Evaluation: Requires going over
all the procedures and
necessary corrective measures
that have been implemented,
using the risk matrix to calculate
the chance of the risk. This will
make it easier to determine
whether their functionality is
still being developed.
Recording of documentation:
Risk assessment, the record of
monitoring, and so on is done.

well as injuries from fire and explosions. What we must do is as follows:
Verify the labels and wash the containers.
Find out about safety and give it to them.
Keep a manifest and register.
Display signage and placards.
Protect your personal items from contamination.
Keep your chemistry steady.
Control leaks and spills.
Avoid causing chemicals any harm.
Install the necessary fire safety.
Prepare with emergency supplies and strategies.
Distribute safety gear.
Have efficient handling and storage methods.
