2.11 CREATE AN ONLINE EMPLOYEE SAFETY SURVEY

(Refer to HOW TO SET UP A SURVEY MONKEY PAGE.doc)

Your questions should be targeted towards finding out the current opinions towards WHS/OHS matters within ABC Steel. Areas that need to be addressed are:

1. whether the safety meeting should be at the beginning or end of shift 2. whether staff believe using an all-electronic Information Management System is suitable for

their needs

You also need to determine:

how employees would like to consult if they believe training for consultation is required their thoughts on internet-based meetings areas of wellbeing that may need to be targeted. (These can include but are not limited to

stress, bullying, harassment, equal opportunity) areas of mandatory health monitoring that may need to be targeted. (These can include but

are not limited to: PPE, handling & storage of hazardous substances and safe work procedures)

(These responses will help determine what consultative mechanisms will be successful at ABC, whether changing from a paper based information system to electronic has merit as well as areas for inclusion in the Action Plan and providing feedback necessary for inclusion into the WHS/OHS policy.)

There is one part to Assessment 3.

Assessment 3 is a written task involving the completion of 38 questions. You will be required to explain how to use a generic approach to identify hazards, and to assess and control WHS/OHS risks as well as focus on the knowledge, processes and techniques necessary to control specific hazards in the work environment.

The assessment involves the scenario - ABC Steel (on page 5)

This assessment involves creating a Hazard Identification Tool, developing a SOP for a new fork lift, completing light measuring, carry out a HSC meeting as well as replying to managements questioning and writing of a comprehensive report.
