Practical Demonstration and Observation

Assessment Activity
1. Read Appendix 1: Workplace scenario and complete Appendix 2: Incident form to report the issue. You will need to create names and additional information as necessary to fill in the form.
2. Add Rosie’s incident from the scenario to the graph in the Appendix 3: Analyse data sheet.
3. Conduct a safety inspection of your work area with regards to that hazard using Appendix 4: Safety inspection form. Your assessor will simulate a workplace for you to inspect and assign you to a work safety team.
4. Organise and chair a safety action meeting (SAM) with your work safety team. Negotiate and schedule the meeting with your work safety team.
Before the meeting, work with your group to:
• consult on analysis of the hazard and possible treatment
• consider the costs of control measures for the hazard
During the meeting, use the hazard hierarchy of control to recommend and/or demonstrate a practicable treatment. Ensure you take minutes using the Appendix 5: SAM form to provide evidence of the meeting. Your assessor will observe the meeting.
5. Write a 1 – 2 page report for your health and safety representative (the assessor). Ensure that you:
• describe the process you undertook to identify, analyse and consult on the risk
• refer to:
– specific OHS/WHS legislation relating to the maintenance of a safe workplace
– specific OHS/WHS legislation and regulations and codes of practice requiring institution and implementation of consultative practices
– duty of care responsibilities of employers and employees
– describe WHS performance with respect to the hazard; outline any inadequacies in existing risk control measures
– describe the measures you took to control the hazard, including timelines and demonstrations or plans to control the hazard
– describe future monitoring activities to ensure implementation of risk control measures, including hazard controls.
