Q no 1.
Answer:
(a)
Our organization has a legal and moral commitment to the health and safety of all employees,
subcontractors, etc. Thus pursuing the highest standards of occupational health and safety (WHS)
practices possible in all locations.
Our organization believes that this awareness leads to more involvement with our team and ultimately
increases safety-conscious behavior that reduces the risk and risk of work.
Our organization encourages safe behavior and mutually constructive feedback and management of
behavior.
Our organization can continuously improve and build a safety culture. The construction efforts for WHS
are demonstrated by:
 Monitor and comply with all relevant WHS laws, regulations, codes of practice and Australian
standards dealing with safety risks
 Implement, maintain, monitor, review, audit and continuously improve a safety management
system, if any employee is injured he will immediately have treatment and organization will pay
for the worker.
 Assist subcontractors to fulfill their WHS obligations, employees must report to supervisor about
any hazard emergency.
 Defined in relevant legislation As possible, we create a culture of continuous improvement with a
focus on safety through open and free communication with all employees and subcontractors.
(b)
We have trained our staff about how to control hazards and what should they do in emergency. We have
provided good enough safety tools to the workers. We have inflicted warning signs and labels that will
remind them to follow safety procedures. We have improved communication system so the employees
can easily inform management about any hazard which can be found in organization.
Q no 2.
Answer:
Management investigate dangerous hazards occurrences at the workplace, listen to the complaints of
employees related to health and safety. Management examines reasons of organization accidents.
Employer consults and inspects the workplace. Management involve employees in dealings with safety
and health procedures.
Consulting employees about health and safety can result in:
 a healthier and safer workplace

 better decisions about health and safety
 a stronger commitment to implementing decisions or actions

 greater co-operation and trust
 joint problem-solving.
Q no 3.
Answer:
By keeping records, you can prove that you have discussed WHS issues and issues. The record can be
simple and straightforward and covers who is involved, the problem/problem, the decision, the action
that occurs, and when the action is completed. Consultation depends on the reason and method of
consultation.
Informal Face-to-Face Consultation: Keep a diary including everyone present and, where appropriate,
track conversations by email or other documents reflecting the discussion.
Q no 4.
Answer:
Learning opportunities are provided to the staff through coaching, formal class room teaching and online
learning programs. Coaching and mentoring occur directly with an individual and are methods to ensure
individuals develop specific skills or capabilities with the assistance of a more experienced person.
Coaching and mentoring should create an open and supportive environment for the individual to practise
and improve over the short or long-term.
Q no 5.
Answer:
Supervisors discuss training needs with both upper management and the employee. Supervisors follow
organizational guidelines and procedures for implementing training plans. A supervisor may determine
that workers need refresher courses or training to comply with legal requirements and WHS
requirements. Monitoring will identify any deficiencies or gaps in workers' skills. Observing a worker at
work can help determine where further training is needed. Supervisors communicate training costs to
upper management.
Q no 6.
Answer:
Hierarchy of controls are necessary to protect workers from exposure to a substance or system. The
training required to monitor worker exposure and their health to hazards of chemicals, materials,
substances, or noise and vibration. It is necessary to outline which methods are used to manage and how
these controls are monitored for effectiveness.
Elimination is the process of removing a hazard from the workplace and is the most effective way to
control it because the hazard no longer exists.
For example: If there is a noise risk, temporary measures may require the operator to use hearing
protection, and in the long term, permanent control can use engineering methods to eliminate or isolate
the noise source.
Q no 7.
Answer:
Inadequacies can be identified through:
 Internal and external audits
 Feedback from team members
 Feedback from employees
 Innovation
 Changes in WHS legislation
 Through the consultation process
To report inadequacies you must:

 Report all risk controls that do not meet WHS standards.
 Report any risk controls that do not meet organizational standards.
 Report any risk controls that are obsolete.
 Explain why the risk controls are inadequate.
 Recommend adjustments or improvements to risk controls.
Q no 8.
Answer:
The WHS Manager has the responsibility for the development of record keeping.
Keeping an accurate WHS record will help you check the health and safety of your business and allow you
to make improvements as needed. In terms of workplace health and safety, the old adage is that if it were
not written down, it wouldn't have happened. Speech can be on physical or electronic paper. As long as it
is in the right place and accessible, how you record, it is up to you. Put in place some WHS policies and
procedures, engage and train people, and ensure that you are managing the identified risks and risks in
your business. There is a bit of paperwork behind all of this and all as important as the rest.
