INTRODUCTION
CODE OF PRACTICE
PRESENTATION TO PARTICIPANTS – 2015
Organisations contracted to deliver Australian Government funded employment
services have agreed and are committed to observe the
Employment Services Code of Practice.
The Code of Practice sets out the principles and standards that underpin the
delivery of employment services and other services to increase employment
outcomes and participation in economic activities in Australia especially for
disadvantaged client groups.
Work Health and Safety is an area
concerned with protecting the safety,
health and welfare of people engaged in
work or employment.
The goals of occupational safety and
health programs include to foster a safe
and health work environment. WHS may
also protect co-workers, family members,
employers, customers and many others
who might be affected by the
workplace/activity environment.
WHAT IS WHS?

WHAT IS A HAZARD?
PRESENTATION TO PARTICIPANTS – 2015
A hazard is ANYTHING (including work practices or procedures) that has the potential to
harm the health and safety of a person.
WHAT IS RISK
PRESENTATION TO PARTICIPANTS – 2015
Risk is a combination of
The LIKELIHOOD of the hazard causing harm
And
The CONSEQUENCES if it does so
HAZPAK RISK ASSESSMENT MODEL
PRESENTATION TO PARTICIPANTS – 2015
HIERARCHY OF RISK CONTROL
PRESENTATION TO PARTICIPANTS – 2015
Eliminate the hazard
or, if not reasonably practicable
Control the risk
Substitution
Isolation
Engineering controls
Administrative controls
Personal protective equipment.
ELIMINATION
PRESENTATION TO PARTICIPANTS – 2015
Options which get rid of the hazard altogether
The best way to eliminate the risk is to completely remove the hazard.
For example:
• The need for excessive photocopying and collation can be eliminated if material is
circulated by email.
• Repair damaged equipment promptly.
• Ensure new equipment meets the ergonomic needs of users.
• Move a noisy machine from a quiet area.
SUBSTITUTION
PRESENTATION TO PARTICIPANTS – 2015
Replacing a hazardous substance or work practice with a less hazardous one.
For example;
• A telephone hand set can be replaced with a head set where there is constant use of
the telephone.
• Substituting a smaller package or container to reduce the risk of manual handling
injuries such as back strain.
• Substituting a hazardous chemical with a less dangerous one.
The provision of mechanical aids, barriers, machine guarding, ventilation or
insulation to isolate a hazard from employees.
For example:
• Electrical cut out switches
• Roll over frames on vehicles
• Duress alarms or mechanical screens to separate workers from violent or
physically aggressive clients
• Isolating copying equipment in soundproof and ventilated rooms
• Using anti-glare screens on computers VDUs
• Using trolleys or mechanical lifting aids
• Changing bench heights to reduce.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
PRESENTATION TO PARTICIPANTS – 2015
ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS
PRESENTATION TO PARTICIPANTS – 2015
Establishing policies, procedures and work practices designed to reduce a
worker’s exposure to a risk. It can also include the provision of specific

personal protective equipment (gloves, breathing respirator, safety suits).
Overuse injury while using hand tools
- Take regular breaks, change work schedule regularly.
Exposure to sun and weather
-Use PPE (Hat, long-sleeve shirt, sunscreen). Take regular breaks, change work
schedule to ensure indoor work available in heat of day.

PRESENTATION TO PARTICIPANTS – 2015
PERSONAL HYGIENE
PRESENTATION TO PARTICIPANTS – 2015
It is important that you treat your Activity placement like real work, so you should be
properly dressed, and groomed for work.
If you are sick, you should go to a doctor, get a doctor’s certificate and notify your
supervisor.
While at the worksite:
If you have to cough or sneeze, you should cover your mouth with a tissue, or cough
into your elbow to stop the spread of germs.
After going to the toilet, before eating or drinking food, or after smoking, you should
always wash your hands.
MANUAL HANDLING
PRESENTATION TO PARTICIPANTS – 2015
Basics of Good Lifting:
Trolleys, forklifts, hoists, dollies and other types of lifting equipment are used to lift
heavy objects.
However, sometimes it is necessary to load or unload moderate to heavy objects
by hand. When that is the case, knowing the proper ways to lift can save you a
great deal of pain and misery from a sprained back.
MANUAL HANDLING
PRESENTATION TO PARTICIPANTS – 2015
Assess the situation:
Before lifting or carrying a heavy object, ask yourself the following questions:
• Can you lift this load safely, or is it a two-person lift?
• How far will you have to carry the load?
• Is the path clear of clutter, cords, slippery areas, overhangs, stairs, curbs or
uneven surfaces?
• Will you encounter closed doors that need to be opened?
• Once the load is lifted, will it block your view?
• Can the load be broken down into smaller parts?
• Should you wear gloves to get a better grip and protect your hands?
MANUAL HANDLING
PRESENTATION TO PARTICIPANTS – 2015
Size up the load:
• Test the weight by lifting one of the corners. If it is too heavy or a awkward shape,
stop.
• If there is any doubt, ask for help from fellow workers.
• Try to use a mechanical lift or a hand truck.
• Try to break the load down into smaller parts.
MANUAL HANDLING
PRESENTATION TO PARTICIPANTS – 2015
Use good lifting techniques:
• Bend your knees. Bending your knees is the single most important thing you can
do when you lift moderate to heavy objects.
Carrying the load:
• Change direction by turning your feet, not your back.
• Your nose and your toes should always be pointing in the same direction. Any
sudden twisting can result in taking out your back.
• Rest if you fatigue. Set the load down and rest for a few minutes.
Setting the load down:
• Bend your knees. Squat down and let your legs do the work.
• Keep the load close.
• Plan your release.
Using trolleys and lifting aids:
• Push rather than pull. It is easier and safer to push than to pull.
• You can use your body weight to assist when pushing.
FIRST AID AND EMERGENCY
PRESENTATION TO PARTICIPANTS – 2015
First Aid Supplies are available at your site.
If you require first aid treatment, you will need to see your Supervisor.
If you or someone else are in an emergency situation:
• Call 000 immediately.
• Consider the victim first, but don’t put yourself in danger.
• Your site will have an evacuation procedure, to find this out, talk to your
supervisor.
REPORTING OF INCIDENTS
PRESENTATION TO PARTICIPANTS – 2015
• Report any injuries, incidents and near-misses immediately to your supervisor.
• Your supervisor will inform us If you have been injured, ring Campbell Page as well
so we can fill in an incident report.
• You are covered by Medicare for any costs possibly associated with injury.
• If you have costs incurred because of injury which are not covered by Medicare,
this is then forwarded to the Department of Employments' insurance agency and
will be investigated.
• You are not covered by Worker’s compensation because you are not employed
(yet).
WHAT IS BULLYING?
PRESENTATION TO PARTICIPANTS – 2015
Bullying happens when people repeatedly and intentionally use words or actions
against someone or a group of people to cause distress and risk to their wellbeing.
Bullying is not the same as conflict between people (like having a fight) or disliking
someone, even though people might bully each other because of conflict or dislike.
If you feel like you are being bullied, there is something you can do!

WHAT IS SEXUAL HARRASSMENT?
PRESENTATION TO PARTICIPANTS – 2015
Sexual harassment is any unwanted or unwelcome sexual behaviour, which makes a
person feel offended, humiliated or intimidated.
It can take many different forms – it can be obvious or indirect, physical or verbal,
repeated or one-off and perpetrated by males and females against people of the same
or opposite sex.
Sexual harassment at work is against the law!
