Task 2.
Chief Executive Officer: Rose Hargreaves

A PCBU must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, floors and other surfaces are designed,
installed and maintained to allow work to be carried out without risk to health and safety.

The nature of construction work means there are various businesses or undertakings with duties
relating to the same construction work. It can involve PCBUs who:

 carry out construction work

 design the building or structure
 commission the construction work (except for a home-owner where they are not a PCBU)
 are principal contractors
 have management or control of a workplace at which construction work is carried out, or
 carry out high risk construction work.

A PCBU 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.

Prepare and review the WHS management plan for the workplace before work on the project
commences, ensuring, so far as is reasonably practicable, each person who is to carry out the
construction work is, before commencing work, made aware of the content of the plan and their
right to inspect the management plan.

Managing Director: Business Operations. Sean Bamford

Officers, for example company directors, have a duty under the WHS Act to exercise due diligence to
ensure the PCBU complies with its duties or obligations under the WHS laws. Exercising ‘due
diligence’ includes taking reasonable steps to:

 acquire and keep up-to-date knowledge of work health and safety matters
 gain an understanding of the PCBU’s operations including the hazards and risks associated
with those operations
 ensure the PCBU has available for use, and uses, appropriate resources and processes to
eliminate or minimise risks to health and safety arising from the work
 ensure the PCBU has appropriate processes for receiving, considering and responding to
information about hazards, risks and incidents

Human Resource Manager: Gina Harris

A range of activities can assist in ensuring people have the necessary knowledge and skills to
complete the work safely, including general construction induction training and other training
specific to the workplace or the task the person is performing. The provision of adequate facilities
for workers including toilets, drinking water, washing facilities and eating facilities, and the facilities
are maintained in good working order and are clean, safe and accessible.
Task 3.1

Hazard Management Plan

Scope

This policy describes our commitment to meeting strategic and operational goals related to risk
management. This policy forms part of our commitment to continuous improvement. Risk
management will be reviewed through regular training, monitoring, auditing and reporting
processes. All BizOps Enterprises employees are responsible for applying risk management principles
and practices in their work areas.

Management is responsible for ensuring risk management principles are applied.

Framework
AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009 Risk management – Principles and guidelines
This risk management policy specifies that:
• all business activities must be assessed for risk prior to commencing and then managed
throughout
• risk identification, analysis, evaluation and treatment must be reported and updated in the BizOps
risk register.

Risk identification
Risk identification is a structured approach to identifying the events that, if they were to occur, could
have a negative impact on the organisation.
Risk management plays a pivotal role to eliminate the hazards in the organisation, so in this WHS
management plan we will systematically identify hazards, assessment and control before the start of
this project by using the hierarchy of control method.
 By developing Safe Work Method Statement to control risks related with high risk
construction work.
 By using the risk management forms.
Moreover, we will identify additional the risk in the scenario, if:
 When there is new task, procedures are introduced.
 When we buy any chemicals and equipment.
Furthermore, all the identified hazards will be reported immediately to the respective departments
to resolve.

Risk assessment and control

Once the potential impact and likelihood have been assessed, the risk assessment process considers
whether the risk is acceptable to BizOps, or whether further treatments are required to reduce the
level of risk.
All identified risks shall be assessed to determine the overall ranking for the risk. Risks are ranked in
the following four categories:
• Extreme
• High
• Medium
• Low
The ranking of a risk determines:
• the nature of further action that is required
• the urgency with which further action should be undertaken
• the reporting requirements for the risk, including who the risk is reported to
• how the risk is monitored.

All risks within BizOps are ranked using a common scale that assesses:
• the potential consequences if the risk were to occur
• the likelihood of BizOps being impacted in that way.

A common approach to risk ranking is necessary to ensure that the largest risks to BizOps can readily
be identified and risk management can be prioritised in a way that has the greatest overall benefit to
the organisation.

Task 5

It is crucial to provide the training program and review after the program end whether the
employees understand what they have been trained during the program.

Brain Storming

The brain storming program is equally important for supporting the regular mental activities to
maintain and improve cognitive activities. Also, box checking technique is one of activities which
make the employees to look back what have been missing or even what needs to be done first.

Communication

To ensure that communication is effective in your workplace, you should use all the available and
established channels to provide your ideas and concerns about health and safety in your workplace.

Agreed Procedure: minimum requirement.

1. This regulation sets out minimum requirements for an agreed procedure for issue resolution at a
workplace.

2. the agreed procedure for issue resolution at a workplace must include the steps set out in
regulation 23.
3. A person conducting a business or undertaking at a workplace must ensure that the agreed
procedure for issue resolution at the workplace:

 complies with subregulation (2) and

 is set out in writing and
 is communicated to all workers to whom the agreed procedure applies.

Default Procedure:

1. This regulation sets out the default procedure for issue resolution for the purposes of section
81(2) of the Act.

2. Any party to the issue may commence the procedure by informing each other party:

 that there is an issue to be resolved and

 the nature and scope of the issue.

3. As soon as parties are informed of the issue, all parties must meet or communicate with each
other to attempt to resolve the issue.

4. The parties must have regard to all relevant matters, including the following:

 the degree and immediacy of risk to workers or other persons affected by the issue
 the number and location of workers and other persons affected by the issue
 the measures (both temporary and permanent) that must be implemented to resolve the
issue:
 who will be responsible for implementing the resolution measures

5. A party may, in resolving the issue, be assisted or represented by a person nominated by the
party.

6. If the issue is resolved, details of the issue must be set out in a written agreement if any party the
issue requested this.

7. If a written agreement is prepared all parties to the issue must be satisfied that the agreement
reflects the resolution of the issue.

8. A copy of the written agreement must be given to:

 all parties to the issue; and

 if requested, to the health and safety committee for the workplace.

9. To avoid doubt, nothing in this procedure prevents a worker from bringing a work health and
safety issue to the attention of the worker’s health and safety representative.

Task 9

Around 12 600 workers’ compensation claims are accepted from the construction industry each year
for injuries and diseases involving one or more weeks off work. In the construction industry this
equates to 35 serious claims each day.

When an injury occurs in the workplace then the incidence report is filed by the employee and the
employer submits the form to the insurance company. They keep the record of the incident and
reported to the government agency of the claim. Government agency keep a close eye on the
incident and conduct the research how it occurred so that they can implement appropriate
measures to avoid such injury in near future.
Analysing injury and illness incident reports can be an important source of information on
uncontrolled hazards. In particular, KPIs which identify the body part that was injured or the nature
of illness or disease can alert management to areas of risk exposure in the workplace.

Relevant questions about injury and illness seek to understand the damage sustained by workers at
work. Examining injuries and illnesses provides clues to both the consequences of WHS system
‘failures’ and the different types of hazards that were uncontrolled at the time the incident
occurred. These different perspectives offer useful insights into the scope, scale, drivers and
consequences of Class 1 and Class 2 damage.

 Class 1 injury permanently alters a person’s life, including disability or disfigurement (may or
may not return to work).
 Class 2 is temporary incapacity with full recovery.

Information to maximise the safety of all people during the refurbishment project through

Training the employees.

Providing proper training for all employees, especially if there is a risk for potential injury associated
with a job. Provide written instructions and safe work procedures so they can check for themselves if
they are unsure of a task or have forgotten part of their training. Supervising employees to ensure
that they are using their training to perform their job properly and safely.

Make safety a key part of the business.

Safety shouldn’t be an after-thought; it’s just as important to a successful business as customer

service, inventory control, and financial planning. A commitment to health and safety makes good
business sense because it’s the one way to protect your greatest resource and the people.

Maintain records.

Keeping records of all first aid treatment, inspections, incident investigations, and training activities.
This information can help to identify trends in unsafe conditions or work procedures. Health and
Safety Log Book on the WorkSafeBC website which includes easy-to-use checklists and blank forms
which can be used for maintaining the records.

System to identify patterns of injury are as follows:

A process evaluation model is used to analyse the performance of the cases, an appropriate model
in light of the methodological constraints applying to evaluation research, and one suited to the case
study method with its objective to pare away progressively the layers of experience in order to
reveal the underlying critical success factors.

Develop and maintain procedures for selecting and implementing risk controls according to the
hierarchy of control and WHS legislative requirements. Identify inadequacies in existing risk controls
according to the hierarchy of control and WHS legislative requirements, and promptly provide
resources to enable implementation of new measures.

 Eliminate the hazards

 Substitute the hazard with something safer
 Isolate the hazard from people
 Reduce the risks through engineering controls
 Reduce exposure to the hazard using administrative actions
 Use personal protective equipment
