The purpose of this report is to plan and develop a WHS management system to assist Australian Hardware on the lack of its approach to WHS compliance. Will be explained the system, duty holders and resources.
As a WHS consultant contracted by Australian Hardware, my role is to create and propose a WHS management system for the company.
According to Australian Hardware website the first was opened in Sydney in 1921 under the name of Percy’s Home Goods. Initially, the company was specialised in the manufacturing and sale of small household furniture, but in 1950s they took benefit from the housing boom by supplying wood and other hardware items. The business was re-named Australian Hardware and an expansion program commenced that took the business into all states over the next 10 years. In 1982 Australian Hardware was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and was offered to the public in a share float. The business has continued to expand to now have 138 stores and approximately 10,000 staff across the country.

The Australian Hardware national WHS data presents information from July 2012 to May 2013, with the exception of February 2013, when no incidents occurred.
The data reveals that Customer Service Staff (new) is the top list of roles that have more incidents showing at least 1 incident per month. This information confirms that the WHS failed and is extremely important to review the effectiveness of the training and develop a training program for new staff.
Lost Time Injury (LIT) represents around 50% of the incidents, and has happened every single month since August. As Australian standard: Workplace Injury and Disease Recording Standard suggests “A lost-time injury is defined as an occurrence that resulted in a fatality, permanent disability or time lost from work of one day/shift or more”. Furthermore, this impacts on the company’s productivity.
First Aid Incidents, Medical Treatment Injury and Near Miss Incident represent each, around 15% of the incidents, which is significant considering that has been occurring at least every 2 months. Within those incidents, hurt by lifting objects is a common incident and is a basic topic of training that should be clear for everyone.
A few incidents of falling down and slipping were recorded, even with customers which remains that WHS is not been taken with the right seriousness. Which affects the company’s productivity, the image with customers, the environment and feeling of a safety place to work between staff members
Safe Work Australia, 14/08/2016
(http://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/sites/swa/statistics/ltifr/pages/lost-time-injury-frequency-rates)
The recordkeeping must be done by anyone in the company. Even customers are welcome to register them. Firstly, the recordkeeping form have to consider a certain level of details as: date, time, name of the register, name of people involved, location, situation, etc., which helps to analyse the incident with more accuracy, even by watching on the stores’ video surveillance.
