/var/filecabinet/temp/converter_assets/6b/c5/6bc518904edc07c31daa42aa943f26652ea069c5.docx
Question 22
Under the WHS legislation, what is an employer’s duty of care in relation to providing a safe workplace?
Under the WHS Act, each employer has a duty to care to provide their employees a safe workplace
for this purpose, “A person conducting a business or undertaking must consult, so far as is reasonably
practicable, with workers who carry out work for the business or undertaking and who are (or are
likely to be) directly affected by a health and safety matter”
The Act requires employers to implement a WHS consultation arrangement to facilitate the
consultation process. This can be through the creation of a WHS committee, the election of WHS
representatives or through other agreed arrangements.
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?
No, they have not failed to meet the requirements of the WHS Act. Business can choose to have a direct regular contact between employer and employees which is allowed as other agreed arrangements.
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?
Yes, employer has failed to meet the legal requirements because law states that employer has consider the issue
in a timely fashion.
Question 25
What is the role of a WHS Committee?
WHO Committee can play an important role in determining key performance indicators for WHS
systems and measures and can conduct inspections of the workplace. A WHS Committee brings
Management and employee representatives together in order to do work together. The Committee can
form recommendations, which legally must be considered by the employer and acted on in a timely
fashion. A Committee can review the existing WHS practices and recommend solutions to problems.
Question 26
List two (2) penalties a judge may impose on you if you fail to meet your duties under the WHS act. /var/filecabinet/temp/converter_assets/6b/c5/6bc518904edc07c31daa42aa943f26652ea069c5.docx

Project
This fact sheet provides general guidance for persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) and workers on preparing and maintaining general emergency plans for fixed workplaces under regulation 43 of the Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations. It does not cover additional requirements that apply to higher risk workplaces such as Major Hazard Facilities.
Duty to prepare an emergency plan PCBUs must ensure that an emergency plan is prepared for the workplace, including for workers who may work at multiple workplaces. What is an emergency plan? An emergency plan is a written set of instructions that outlines what workers and others at the workplace should do in an emergency. An emergency plan must provide for the following:
emergency procedures, including: an effective response to an emergency
evacuation procedures
notifying emergency service organisations at the earliest opportunity
medical treatment and assistance, and
effective communication between the person authorised to coordinate the emergency response and all people at the workplace
testing of the emergency procedures—including the frequency of testing, and
information, training and instruction to relevant workers in relation to implementing the emergency procedures. What types of emergencies should be covered? The types of emergencies to plan for may include fire, explosion, medical emergency, rescues, incidents with hazardous chemicals, bomb threats, armed confrontations and natural disasters. The emergency plan should be based on a practical assessment of hazards associated with the work activity or workplace, and the possible consequences of an emergency occurring as a result of those hazards. External hazards should also be considered in preparing an emergency plan, for example a chemical storage facility across the road. In developing the plan, consideration should be given to the application of all relevant laws, including public health laws (for example, workplaces that are also public places) and state or territory disaster plans.
Level of detail—relevant factors to be considered /var/filecabinet/temp/converter_assets/6b/c5/6bc518904edc07c31daa42aa943f26652ea069c5.docx
FACT SHEET—EMERGENCY PLANS
Emergency plans do not necessarily have to be lengthy or complex. They should be easy to understand and tailored to the specific workplace where they apply. In preparing an emergency plan, all relevant matters need to be considered including:
the nature of the work being carried out at the workplace
the nature of the hazards at the workplace
the size and location of the workplace, for example, remoteness, proximity to health services, and
the number and composition of the workers, for example, employees, contractors, and other persons at the
workplace such as visitors. Special consideration may need to be provided for workers who travel for work, work alone or in remote locations. The checklist on page 4 of this fact sheet provides examples of relevant factors to consider.
Examples of inclusions in an emergency plan An emergency plan may include practical information for workers such as:
emergency contact details for key personnel who have specific roles or responsibilities under the emergency plan, for example fire wardens, floor wardens and first aid officers
contact details for local emergency services, for example police, fire brigade and poison information centre
a description of the mechanisms for alerting people at the workplace to an emergency or possible emergency, for example siren or bell alarm
evacuation procedures including arrangements for assisting any hearing, vision or mobility-impaired people
a map of the workplace illustrating the location of fire protection equipment, emergency exits, assembly points
• triggers and processes for advising neighbouring businesses about emergencies, and
• the post-incident follow-up process, for example notifying the regulator, organising trauma counselling or medical treatment.
Procedures for testing the emergency plan including the frequency of testing must be included.
Additional requirements for higher-risk workplaces Higher-risk workplaces may require additional information in their emergency plans. Examples of these workplaces include:
workplaces with confined spaces
workplaces that use fall arrest harness systems
Major Hazard Facilities and mines
workplaces that handle or manage asbestos
workplaces that store or handle hazardous chemicals, and
workplaces that carry out demolition and refurbishment sites. /var/filecabinet/temp/converter_assets/6b/c5/6bc518904edc07c31daa42aa943f26652ea069c5.docx

For more information about these requirements refer to the relevant chapters in the WHS Regulations and the related Codes of Practice. Access to the emergency plan Emergency plans, or a summary of key elements of emergency plans, should be readily accessible by workers or on display in the workplace, for example on a notice board.
Training in emergency procedures Workers must be adequately trained in emergency procedures. Arrangements for information, training and instruction of workers must be set out in the emergency plan itself. Training may include practising evacuations, identifying assembly points, location of emergency equipment, first aid arrangements and how to safely shut down machinery. In determining training requirements, the following should be considered:
inclusion of emergency procedure training in induction courses for new workers
provision of refresher training for existing workers
provision of training for short-term contractors or visitors at the workplace (this may not need to be as extensive as may be required for workers), and
provision of specific training for individuals who have a formal role in an emergency for example fire wardens, floor wardens, first aid officers. Shared workplaces In shared workplaces PCBUs must consult, cooperate and coordinate activities with all other persons who have a work health or safety duty in relation to the same matter, so far as is reasonably practicable. In shared workplaces where there are multiple PCBUs, a master emergency plan could be prepared that all relevant duty holders use. Examples of shared workplaces include shopping centres, construction sites or office buildings. More information and guidance on consultation is available in the Code of Practice Work Health and Safety Consultation, Cooperation and Coordination.
Implementing emergency plans Emergency plans must be implemented in an emergency. Directions from emergency services workers must also be complied in an emergency. /var/filecabinet/temp/converter_assets/6b/c5/6bc518904edc07c31daa42aa943f26652ea069c5.docx
Reviewing emergency plans For emergency plans to remain current and effective they must be reviewed and revised (if necessary) on a regular basis. For example:
When there are changes to the workplace such as re-location or refurbishments
When there are changes in the number or composition of staff including an increase in the use of temporary contractors
When new activities have been introduced, and
After the plan has been tested. Further information More work health and safety resources are available on the Safe Work Australia website.

undertaking have duties under the work health and safety (WHS) laws.
A person conducting business must ensure, so
far as is reasonably practicable, workers, including
volunteers, and other people are not exposed to health and safety risks arising from the business or
undertaking. This duty requires the person to manage health and safety risks by eliminating them so far as
is reasonably practicable, and if this is not reasonably practicable, by minimizing those risks so far as is
reasonably practicable.
WHS regulations Chapter 3 and 4
There are more specific requirements to manage risks in the WHS Regulations including those associated with remote and isolated work and manual tasks.
Consultation Requirements: Consultation with workers and their health and safety representatives is required at each step of the risk management process. Workers should be aware of the risks associated with handling and transporting cash and should be trained in:
By drawing on the experience, knowledge and ideas of your workers you are more likely to identify all hazards and choose effective control measures.
Businesses should encourage workers to report hazards and health and safety problems immediately so the risks can be managed before an incident occurs.

•
Moderate risk (risk score 3-4) - indicates conditional acceptability. Further risk control measures should be considered and existing controls monitored
•
Major risk (risk score 5-6) - indicates unacceptable level of risk. Controls and measures must be developed and implemented in the short to medium term
•
Catastrophic risk (risk score 7-16) - indicates unacceptable level of risk. Controls must be immediately implemented or the risk eliminated (i.e. cease activity)
