PART B: IMPLEMENTING, MONITORING AND EVALUATING WHS SYSTEMS

Your Tasks:

You are required to implement each situation based on the work you have planned and completed in Part A.

  1. Brief all relevant staff before implementation to provide a refresher of the procedures that were finalised and determined during consultation and risk assessment
  2. Monitor each situation and ensure that any breaches are identified promptly.
  3. Use relevant templates or a log to document progress and incidents for each situation.
  4. Take appropriate actions to prevent any potential incidents, accidents or other hazards where a safety risk has been identified.
  5. Document each breach or shortfall you identify for each instance.
  6. Write a report summary for each situation and clearly outline the requirements for changes for each procedure based on the results in 4. and which type of training this will require as a result for each situation.
  7. Attach your completed templates or log as relevant.
