WHS
policies, procedures, programs and legislative requirements The following is an excerpt of the WHS policies, procedures, programs and legislative requirements currently in place in the training organisation. WHS
policies, procedures, programs and legislative requirements
The purpose of these WHS policies, procedures, programs and legislative requirements is to establish and maintain an effective health and safety management system. The training organisation is committed to implementing a structured approach to workplace health and safety to achieve a consistently high standard of safety performance. This Plan will assist in meeting its obligations in accordance with work health and safety legislation. This Plan applies to all officers and workers and to other persons at risk from work carried out at workplaces. Failure to comply with the requirements of this Plan may lead to disciplinary action. Risk management procedures The training organisation has established a risk management process and structure based on AS ISO 31000:2018, Risk Management. This helps the organisation close operational gaps derived by risks by creating a holistic organisation-wide risk management approach. The current risk management procedures followed by the training organisation are as follow:

Legislation, regulations, standards and codes relating to risk management followed by Online Media Solutions •
Work Health and Safety Act 2011 •
Work Health and Safety Regulations 2011 •
AS ISO 31000 Risk Management: Guidelines •
Australian Standard for Risk Management AS 4360:2004 •
Model code of practice: Work Health and Safety Hazard identification procedures •
Look at all aspects of the work and include non-routine activities such as maintenance, repair, or cleaning. •
Look at the physical work environment, equipment, materials, products, etc. that are used. •
Look at injury and incident records.
BSBWHS411 Assessment 2 V1 Page 20
of 61
•
Talk to the workers: they know their job and its hazards best. •
Look at the way the work is organised or done (include the experience of people doing the work, systems being used, etc.). •
Look at foreseeable unusual conditions (for example possible impact on hazard control procedures that may be unavailable in an emergency situation, power outage, etc.). •
Determine whether a product, machine or equipment can posses any hazard. WHS risk assessment procedure The purpose of any WHS risk assessment is to ensure that, for any identified hazards, appropriate control measures are implemented in order to protect workers, contractors and visitors from risks to their health, safety and welfare. Firstly, consider the consequences should something happen; will it cause a serious injury, illness or death or a minor injury. Secondly, consider how likely this will occur
—
very likely, not likely at all or somewhere in between? Some of the things to think about include: •
how often is the task undertaken •
how frequently are people near the hazard •
how many people are near the hazard at a particular time •
has an incident happened before •
have there been any ‘near misses.’
Use the table below to determine how significant the risk is. Where a manager, worker, contractor, or visitor to the workplace identifies a hazard, the training organisation requires that it is eliminated or reduced in consultation with the relevant stakeholders. •
Step 1: identify the Consequences
—
or how severely could it hurt someone •
Step 2: identify the likelihood
—
or how likely is it for an injury to occur •
Step 3 & 4: identify the Risk Priority Score
—
to prioritise your actions •
Step 5: apply the hierarchy of hazard control •
Step 6: identify who, how and when the effectiveness of controls will be checked and reviewed Step 2

elimination (removal of the hazard) •
substitution (substitute the hazard for something which is less hazardous, e.g. replace a hazardous chemical with one within is not hazardous) •
isolation (isolate the hazard from people, e.g. place a noisy piece of equipment in another location) •
engineering (e.g. guarding on machinery) •
administrative (e.g. provision of training, policies and procedures, signage) •
personal protective equipment (e.g. use of hearing, eye protection, high visibility vests). Consultation and communication arrangements Open communication between workers and managers is important to ensuring a safe workplace. Therefore, workers are encouraged to:

CONTROLLING THE RISKS
—
THE HIERARCHY OF CONTROL Once the risk assessment process has been completed, those hazards identified as being a VERY HIGH RISK or HIGH RISK should be addressed as a matter of priority. In considering options for controlling the identified risks, the hierarchy of controls helps to ensure that the most effective controls are implemented. Risk Control Hierarchy •
Elimination:
this is the best control measure. E.g. remove a trip hazard. Substitution: e.g. substitute a hazardous chemical with a less hazardous substance. Isolation: e.g. barricade off the area where the hazard is present. •
Engineering:
e.g. re-design of tools and equipment, provision of load shifting equipment (trolleys etc). •
Administrative:
e.g. written procedures, training, warning signs. •
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
Introduce PPE only when other control measures cannot be implemented or as a supplement.
