Without WHS policies, procedures, legislation and regulations, the number of workplace accidents, injuries and illness would be very high. WHS applies to everyone in the workplace. It is not simply the responsibility of management. SHARE PLATE In a small group, work together to brainstorm a list of accidents and injuries you believe would be common to workers in the food services industry. Share your thoughts in a discussion facilitated by your trainer. LIFT THE LID In 2018 Safe Work Australia published a document called Priority industry snapshot: Accommodation & food services. This document includes some interesting statistical information about those working in food services. Go to https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/system/files/documents/1807/accommodation-food-services- priority-industry-snapshot-2018.pdf and read the information. Share your thoughts about this document with your group in a discussion facilitated by your trainer. WHS laws, regulations, codes and standards In the hospitality environment, specifically that related to commercial cookery, there are a number of WHS requirements that must be followed. These relate to WHS and also to food safety. Each state and territory in Australia has its own WHS/OHS (occupational health and safety) laws and regulations, as well as its own regulator. Definitions Act: a piece of legislation that outlines the broad responsibilities/policy principles. Regulations: guidelines about specific areas that explain how the Act should be applied. Codes of practice: provide employers and employees with assistance on how to make sure they are following their legal and regulatory requirements. Standards: specifications, procedures and guidelines in a specific area that assist in maintaining quality, reliability, safety and consistency (such as the Food Safety Standards). WHS regulators: government bodies in each state that deal with matters relevant to WHS and enforce the laws.
