4 | P a g e BSBWHS521 - Ensure a safe workplace for a work area Answer Paper – Mercury Colleges Activity 3A 1. The working environment allows operators to work without risks to health and safety (e.g. obstruction- free movement spaces, adequate ventilation, light) or not? How it is performed, including the physical, mental, and emotional needs of tasks and activities How appropriate are the tools and equipment for the job and how well are they maintained? How do practitioners, managers, supervisors, and others interact and how inappropriate behavior or conflicts are handled? Are there any changes in the workplace that could affect health and safety? 2. The most important step in risk management involves eliminating risks to the extent possible or if it is unable to act reasonably Reasonably minimizing the risk as possible In deciding how to control risks As a Business or Operations Person (PUB), you must consult your employees and their representatives who will be directly affected by this decision. Their experience will help you choose the right control measures. And participation will increase the level of acceptance of changes that may be necessary to the way they work. There are many ways to control risk. Some control measures are more effective than others. You need to consider different control options and choose the controls that most effectively eliminate hazards or mitigate risks in a situation. This may involve a single control measure or a combination of different controls that together provide the highest level of protection reasonably practicable. Some problems can be easily fixed and should be done immediately while other problems it takes more effort and planning to fix it. Among those who want more effort you should prioritize your area of action. Focusing on those hazards that pose the highest risk first. 3. Here is a visual representation of the hierarchy of risk control: Elimination Substitution Engineering Administrative controls PPE Activity 3B 1. Collins is the manager of a mountaintop outdoor clothing company. The production of clothing, which was a prehistoric art, went through several technological changes. Technological innovations help companies brand product seller and retailers transitioning to a new global reality. The selection and service of the customer is not only important. But it has the potential to make the difference between success and failure in a highly competitive market. Today, in Colins' global trade, branded retailers and merchandisers play a key role and various industries still changing faster than ever. The retail sector became more concentrated. And the largest international retailers gain more power through mergers and acquisitions. Collins has played to put up a new, faster-than-ever machine that delivers more clothes in less time. This is the Toyota loom model JAT701. This is the fastest machine that produces fabric in less time compared to other machines. 2. Colin is the manager of High-Peak Outdoor Clothing. He recently considered the right way to reduce costs and increase efficiency in clothing production. He has conducted research and found machine parts that increase production speed and save money in the long run. However, employees will need to be trained on how to use the new machines and health and safety risks must be communicated. There are certain hazards associated with electrical hazards in de-energizing electrical equipment prior to inspection or repair. Proper maintenance of power tools Exercise caution when working near energized

5 | P a g e BSBWHS521 - Ensure a safe workplace for a work area Answer Paper – Mercury Colleges power lines and by using appropriate protective equipment. Noise Hazardous Machinery Maintenance — the number one cost-effective engineering control used to reduce industrial noise hazards is to ensure that all machinery used is properly maintained. Machines with metal in contact with metal should be regularly lubricated. This type of 'preventive maintenance' can extend machine life and save production time from unexpected failures. Sharp Edges: - Use the right tools to operate the machines. Don't risk it with the bear's hand. Equipment failures: - Always make a checklist before operating the machine. Slippery surface: - Make sure you see any spills or liquids. Use caution and label it so that no one gets hurt Activity 3C Service personnel have identified several hazards, including exposure to exposed wires during installation. Electric shock when adjusting internal components Injury due to exposure to electrostatic sparks that ignite flammable dust, damage to tools and equipment. Activity 3D 1. Rob is a manager at Twitch Electronics. He recently decided to offer his clients home installation and guidance services. Inadequate risk control may be: a. Those who do not deal with the severity of the danger B. Those who fail to mitigate risks and eliminate hazards c. Controls that are not properly promoted or communicated d. Outdated controls that no longer apply to your organization. e. Controls that do not meet the standards set forth by the WHS Directive. 2. Observation Regularly observe and encourage others to comply with workplace conditions. Check clear corridors and fire exits, make sure PPE is properly stored, and check floors for travel hazards. Report danger Hazards must be reported in full, if hazards are identified, they should address where and what hazards and potential impacts might be. Maintenance reports and requests Machines and equipment must be inspected regularly to function. Maintenance reports should be reviewed regularly to ensure equipment is serviced when needed. Daily Hazard Identification Checklist Checklists can be made daily, checking each area once a safety check has been made. For example, make sure the first aid kit is kept safe at the end of each day. Incident report An incident report is used if an incident occurs, it should provide details about the nature of the incident and its actions.

What has improved over the past year in safety and health performance? Record keeping - Records are very important in any security management system. Record keeping is useful in a number of ways, including: Training- Training is the most important requirement of health and safety law. Many fatal accidents happen to young workers. People accepting different jobs, new employees, and sometimes after a long absence. Equipment Maintenance and Testing - A factory testing and maintenance program is essential to do. as well as security and health in your organization. Establishment and development of WHS processors and policies- This helps to clearly identify the commitment of employees and support health and safety programs. It is also helpful to find functions to help design health and safety objectives.
