Document title: BSBWHS518_AG_SW_1of1 Page 7 of 25 Resource ID: TBS_20_003_BSBWHS518_AG_SW_1of1 © TAFE NSW 2020 Activity 1.3: Determine WHS hazards Following on from Activity 1.2: identify how to inspect items of plant and identify how they are to be used , as relevant to your work environment, document the hazards that are associated with using the two items of plant, their condition, their suitability for the workplace, their potential location in the workplace and any potential abnormal situations that may exist. Feedback You must refer to Activity 1.2, and the inspections carried out. You must document your conclusions found from the assessment of your inspections. You must identify any hazards with: Plant 1 – Cut-off saw Plant 2 – Hydraulic press Using the plant Plant operation requires the operator to place and clamp the steel to be cut in position, turn on the saw and use the handle to pull the saw down and cut through the steel. When the steel has been cut, the handle is raised, and the plant turned off. Plant operation requires the operator to place the item to be "pressed" onto the bed of the press in a suitable position. The operator will need to select a suitable "dolly" for the pressing application and hold or secure it in place while operating a lever to extend the ram until it contacts the dolly. At this point, the operator can let go of the dolly and operate the levers to finish the process. The condition of the plant The saw is old, though well maintained and serviceable. The table it operates on is well made and fitted with rollers to make the operation easier. The press is old, functional and in good order, though lacks the relevant engineering approval. If anything it is over-engineered for its "pressing capacity", though this has not been formally assessed. Their suitability for the workplace Both items of plant are suitable for use in this workplace. They are well constructed, robust and well serviced/maintained. The lack of engineering certification on the press is a concern which needs to be addressed. This is something that can be corrected. Both items of plant are suitable for use in this workplace.

The saw has been placed so that lengths of steel can be fed into it without pre-cutting, and the wall modified so that long pieces can be cut off and removed without obstruction. The press is located outside, under a skillion roof which provides a level of separation from other staff at the worksite should something o wrong during the process. Both items of plant are in a suitable location for their intended use.

The press is located outside, under a skillion roof which provides a level of separation from other staff at the worksite should something o wrong during the process. Any abnormal situations that may exist with the plant. The normal operation of the saw requires a pre-start checklist to be completed which will highlight any issues with the operation of the saw. The main area of concern is damage to the saw blade. There are no abnormal situations that may exist with the plant. It is particularly hazardous if used incorrectly. Activity 1.4: Forum: Consult with others to confirm hazard identification Go to the Forum and post the hazards that you found in Activity 1.3: Determine WHS hazards. Then comment on the potential harm that may be caused by their occurrence. Post your response in the 'Consult with others to confirm hazard identification' forum. After you have posted your answers, review the replies of other students and, where appropriate, provide feedback on others' responses. Feedback You must post your answers in the forum, review the replies of other students and, where appropriate, provide feedback on others' responses. You must comment on what you confirm and identify the potential harm that may be caused by each one. For example, hazards and their harm may include: • Exposed moving parts – operators may become caught in machinery. • Hot temperature of plant – operators and passers-by may suffer burns if touching hot parts. • Noisy machinery – operators may not hear other people or noises around them, making them unaware of what is happening around them.

Record your confirmed hazards from Activity 1.4: Consult with others to confirm hazard identification , following the policy and procedures provided. Feedback You must follow the guidance provided in the case study to record your confirmed hazards from Activity 1.4. This must be written clearly and permanently, state the hazards and where they are found, state the individuals or parties who are at risk and include their name and the date the report was made. Case study: Policies and procedures for recording and reporting hazards Recording and reporting hazards policy WHS hazards that are identified must be documented and communicated to all relevant personnel; they must be acted upon to prevent risks from occurring or for risks to be controlled to a safe level. Records of hazards must identify the hazard, where this is found, and the persons who are affected by the hazard. Reports should be made to the officer (as soon as it is possible to do so), so hazard/risk management can take place. Recording and reporting hazards procedures Records of hazards must be completed in the following way: • be written clearly and in a permanent form (that is, permanent ink on paper or saved in organisational electronic records) • state the hazard and where this is found • state the individuals and/or parties who are at risk from the hazard • include the name of the person making the record and the date this was made. Reporting hazards must be completed in the following way: • reports must be made to the officer (in person or writing) • report must be made as soon after identification of the hazard, as is possible • reports must be an accurate account of the hazard record that is made and be addressed to 'The Officer'.

Using the record, you have made, create a short report to inform the officer of the hazards that have been found. For this activity, you may use a suitable report template, create your own using MS Word or similar. Your report should be at least 1 x A4 page. Please ensure you attach a copy to this workbook referencing the activity number. Feedback You must follow the guidance provided in Case study A to report the hazards to the officer in writing. This must be an accurate account of the hazard record that has been made in activity question one. This report will be similar to the record but must be addressed to 'The Officer'. For example: Dear John, During our recent Plant Inspection at the workshop, a number of items of plant were targeted as part of our in-depth study process. This included a metal cut-off saw and a hydraulic press. The Saw was a fairly normal example of this type of plant. It was not in new condition, though it has clearly been well maintained and serviced. The blade was in good order with no signs of premature failure. The area where the saw was set up is serviceable and functional. The Hydraulic Press is in good operational condition and has been well maintained. It is quite old, though it has had a number of components replaced. While there are no major concerns with this piece of plant from an operational perspective, it does lack the required engineering certification or load rating. This needs to be rectified ASAP. Corrective actions from this process include: • Review the Safe Operating procedures for both items of plant • Engage a suitably qualified engineer to calculate the safe working load of the press and install a placard. Your assistance with any financial approval is appreciated. Regards, Worker Bill.

List your three hazards, your information sources, and what you have found. Feedback You must access sources of information, data or advice to help them assess the risks to three hazards found with the plant from Activity 1.4. The information, data or advice must come from recognised and authoritative sources. You must write down three hazards and associated risks; must identify what you have found through the information, data or advice that has been received. For example, risks may relate to: • injury or fatality • damage to the workplace • loss of work production. Sources of information may include: • WHS personnel • WHS regulator • WHS/OHS codes of practice • WHS authorities, agencies and consultants. Activity 2.2: Identify how to consult with others to inform WHS risk assessment Following on from Activity 2.1: Identify how to access sources of information, data and advice, you will now prepare an email to your manager informing them about the three hazard and associated risks with the plant. Your email communication must include relevant details and their impact on others and the environment. In closing, you will need to seek feedback from your manager that they agree on their level of impact and severity of the risk.

Feedback Student responses must cover the key points above. For example: To: Management Subject: Plant associated Risks Body: Dear Manager, The WHS Department has recently carried out a workplace inspection and uncovered several issues associated with some plant in the workshop. There are two key items of plant which were the focus of risk management activities following the inspection. These are a metal cut-off saw and a hydraulic press. A number of risks are evident: • Cut-off Saw o Flying objects – from the cutting process. o Cuts/lacerations – from sharp edges on the cut metal. o Entanglement – hair or clothing caught in rotating parts. • Hydraulic Press o Flying objects – from misaligned "jobs" on the press bed. o Hydraulic injection injury – from poorly maintained hydraulic hoses and fittings. o Structural failure – no Safe Working Load has been established for the press. The potentially serious nature of injuries, which may occur as a result of these risks requires immediate attention. I would appreciate your support and agreement that we can take required action as detailed in the recommendations from the WHS department. Regards, WHS Advisor

You may research a suitable template that can be modified or create your own using MS Word or similar program and attach to this workbook referencing the activity number in the file name. Feedback Plant – Risk and control A recent workplace inspection uncovered a number of concerns associated with items of plant in the workshop. While there is a lot that is being done well, there is a real risk of serious injury associated with the use of the cut-off saw and the hydraulic press. It is considered that the following three risks are more serious and require more urgent attention: • flying objects from the press • flying objects from the saw • entanglement in the saw's rotating components. A series of toolbox talks and safe behaviour observations were undertaken to ensure sufficient consultation took place with workers who have experience using the equipment. This consultation uncovered a number of near-miss incidents and minor injuries went unreported over the past 12 months. This new information highlights the seriousness of the risk and uncovered a culture of non- reporting. More information is available from the following sources: • Code of Practice – Managing the risks of plant in the workplace • NOHSC – National Standard for Plant (1994) • Australian Standard 4024 – Safety of Machinery • SafeWork NSW – Hazard Library Further work is required to ensure the safety of workers who are using this plant. Following consultation with workers, there are now other issues which need to be added to the scope of this project.

Document title: BSBWHS518_AG_SW_1of1 Page 14 of 25 Resource ID: TBS_20_003_BSBWHS518_AG_SW_1of1 © TAFE NSW 2020 Feedback: Topic 3 Activity 3.1: Identify how to access sources of information, data Following on from Activity 2.3: Identify how to record and report on WHS risk assessment; concerning the three plant hazards, access health and safety information, data and/or advice from reputable sources for preliminary research on the development of risk controls. Prepare notes or collect the information you find, as preparation for Activity 3.2: Identify how to develop risk controls. Feedback You must access information data or advice in relation to health and safety for developing risk controls for your three identified hazards. You should note down or attach what they find, and this should be from authoritative sources, such as WHS/OHS regulators, local government and WHS experts. Information may relate to WHS management of hazards, risk controls or plant-specific information. Activity 3.2: Identify how to develop risk controls Following on from Activity 3.1: Identify how to access sources of information, data; for your three hazards, use the hierarchy of risk control measures (identified in section Develop risk controls of the unit) to develop risk controls that eliminate or manage the risks. Record what these are and how you would implement them in the workplace. Feedback You must refer to the hierarchy of risk controls found in section 3.2 of the learning unit; you may also refer to Safe Work Australia or your own WHS/OHS regulator for this information. The hierarchy of risk control measures from Safe Work Australia: • Level one – eliminate the hazard. • Level two – substitute the hazard for something safer, isolate the hazard or reduce risks through engineering controls. • Level three – reduce exposure to the hazard using administrative actions, or use personal protective equipment (PPE). Risk controls for the plant include: • machine guards

Document title: BSBWHS518_AG_SW_1of1 Page 15 of 25 Resource ID: TBS_20_003_BSBWHS518_AG_SW_1of1 © TAFE NSW 2020 • access and egress • barriers and signs • emergency stops and warning devices • supervision and training • improved work procedures for plant. Implementation may refer to producing schedules, prioritising risk controls, and how to carry out activities. A systematic approach should be used to ensure consistent and safe standards of risk control management. Activity 3.3: Forum: Identify how to consult with internal and specialist personnel 1. Go to the Forum page and post the risk controls you have identified together with details on how you plan to implement them. • Post your response in the 'Identify how to consult with internal and specialist personnel' forum. • After you have posted your response, review the replies of other students and comment where applicable. Feedback You must post your answers in the forum, review the replies of other students and, where appropriate, provide feedback on others' responses. Posts will include details of controls devised in Activity 3.2. 2. Following your consultation with other forum members in question one, prepare a brief report (1 x A4 page) to report the outcomes of the consultation. For this activity, you may use a suitable template, create your own using MS Word or similar and attach a copy to this workbook activity number. Feedback Student feedback will vary based on previous activities. The following controls have been proposed following consultation with workers on the three more serious risks associated with the operation of the cut-off saw and the hydraulic press. Flying objects from the cut-off saw • Proposed controls – cut-off saw:

Activity 3.4: Identify how to communicate rights, obligations and duties of workplace personnel Your manager has requested that you address with your team the rights, obligations and duties of workplace personnel for the identified hazards and risk controls from Activity 3.2: Identify how to develop risk controls. You have decided to address this in the next toolbox talk meeting. In preparation, you will prepare a handout that will be provided to each member. The staff handout needs to conform to the organisation's style guidelines as this will also be filed with the toolbox talk briefing notes for company records. As a minimum your supporting staff handout must include: • date of discussion • key points to be covered o stakeholders o the rights, obligations and duties of workplace personnel for the identified hazards and risk controls • how you will accommodate any feedback

Document title: BSBWHS518_AG_SW_1of1 Page 17 of 25 Resource ID: TBS_20_003_BSBWHS518_AG_SW_1of1 © TAFE NSW 2020 • reminder to staff to acknowledge receipt of the handout in the toolbox talk briefing document. For this activity, you may use a suitable template, create your own using MS Word or similar and attach a copy to this workbook referencing the activity number. Feedback Your responses will vary depending on the template used. Content of the prepared document must include the points above. For example: Toolbox Talk 27/11/2020 Topic The main topic for today's toolbox talk is risk associated with plant Background Workplace inspection carried out, identified risk associated with the use of a number of items of plant. Risks included flying objects from the saw, flying objects from the press and risk of entanglement in the rotating saw blade Stakeholders Any person who uses these items of plant is at risk of injury. This includes regular workers in the workshop and contractors who may use it from time to time. Obligations of workers As everyone already knows, you have the right to work in a safe workplace. This right comes with an obligation to work within the direction given by the PCBU, including policy and procedure and verbal instruction. The existing policies and procedures in place for the operation of plant in the workshop will be reviewed and refresher training provided. Additional PPE will be available. Additional guarding will be installed over the coming week. Feedback Ongoing monitoring of the identified risks will be carried out by the WHS team, though your ongoing feedback and support is appreciated. If you have concerns, they can be passed on through your supervisor, or the WHS team. Reminder Don't forget to sign the attendance sheet for this Toolbox Talk.

Document title: BSBWHS518_AG_SW_1of1 Page 18 of 25 Resource ID: TBS_20_003_BSBWHS518_AG_SW_1of1 © TAFE NSW 2020 Activity 3.5: Identify how to monitor the effectiveness of implemented risk controls 1. What activities can you do to monitor risk controls? Feedback • Monitoring risk controls can take many forms. It can include inspection of a work area, an audit of compliance with procedures, review of incident data over a period following control, consultation with workers. • Monitoring must consider whether the control has achieved the intended result. In some cases, the desired outcome, or what we want to achieve, does not actually occur. In some cases, we actually even create additional issues. This is particularly relevant where engineering controls are put in place, and other impacts occur. 2. How should you review and evaluate the effectiveness of risk controls? (Answers to be no more than 100 words). Feedback Monitoring activities will depend on the nature of the risk. It may include observation, review of procedures and risk assessments, discussion with operators or even a combination of those. Examples might include: • Control – Install guarding around plant o Review – observe the operation of the plant to see if the guard allows the worker to operate the plant safely if the guard is being used as intended if the guard creates additional problems or risk for the operator. • Control – updated safe work procedure o Review – observe a worker doing the job covered by the procedure and compare the steps int eh procedure compared to actual steps. Uncover differences and discuss them with the operator to uncover issues.

Create a short report (1 x A4 page) that identifies the progress of the implemented risk controls for Organisation ABC. For this activity, you may use a suitable template, create your own using MS Word or similar and attach a copy to this workbook referencing the activity number. Feedback Answers may vary in wording, but must identify the following information: • Plant training has been given to all workers; however, maintenance training has only been provided to three workers, and this can hold up work production when their assistance is required. • Sound-proof guarding is removed when maintenance and cleaning occur; this is not always put back in place, causing noise hazards. Reports must be written objectively (without bias or personal opinion). Case study: Implemented risk controls Organisation ABC has been working with a new manufacturing plant for three months; an initial hazard and risk assessment was carried out when the plant was installed and made ready for workers to use. The manager must now check on the implemented risk controls to see how these are working. The following information has been gained: • Plant training: Workers have been trained to operate the plant according to their job roles and to use personal protective equipment; three appointed workers have been trained to perform maintenance duties. • Maintenance and cleaning of plant: All workers have been given instructions for regular cleaning of plant that they use; when maintenance is required, they must seek one of the workers trained to carry out maintenance tasks. This can sometimes hold-up work production if any of the workers are absent or unable to attend immediately. • Specific control measures: The plant requires guards to minimise the noise that is emitted from certain functions; these are removable barriers which allow access into a plant for maintenance and cleaning. It has been noted that on several occasions, the guarding has not been put back in place, and the plant has been operated in this condition for one or more days.

Provide three examples of plant requiring registration. Feedback Answers may vary but must identify three examples of plant requiring registration; this may include: • pressure equipment • gas cylinders • tower cranes • mobile cranes with a rated capacity greater than 10 tonnes • lifts, escalators and moving walkways • prefabricated scaffolding • vehicle hoists • some amusement devices • building maintenance units • concrete placing booms. 2. According to work health and safety, list three tasks that require operator licensing and/or certification in relation to one or two pieces of plant. You may need to perform research to answer this question. Feedback Answers will vary depending on your choice of plant. For example, tasks relating to a tower crane may include: • dismantling and assembling the crane • climbing to a significant height for operating the crane • lifting and controlling loads at height • lifting and controlling moving loads • operating the crane remotely.

Feedback You must identify the relevant details as provided in the information given to them. This will include the: • item of plant • registration requirements • licence required for worker operation • certification/training requirements. Activity 4.3: Identify how to monitor and report compliance with WHS regulatory requirements 1. Explain how you will need to monitor compliance with WHS regulatory requirements for registration, licensing and certification. Feedback Answers to include the following points: • You will need to check on organisational plant registration and records, and employee licensing and certification records to ensure these are current to organisational operations. • You will need to monitor employee or plant changes to ensure records are kept up-to-date, and registration, licensing or certification requirements are maintained. 2. To report and communicate the plant registration, licensing and certification requirements from Activity 4.2: Identify how to document registration, licensing and certification requirements, create a simple one page (one side of A4) fact sheet. For this activity, you may use a suitable template, create your own using MS Word or similar and attach a copy to this workbook referencing the activity number.

This must be clear and logical in format and content, and be legible to read. The fact sheet must provide accurate details, as sourced from your original information. For example: Vehicle Hoist Registration Design The initial design of the vehicle hoist must be registered with the relevant State/Territory regulator. The owner of a vehicle hoist must ensure that its design has been registered – usually indicated by the installation of a placard on the hoist. Item Not required in NSW Licencing Not applicable Certification Regular inspection by a competent person is required to ensure the vehicle hoist remains fit for purpose (as per AS2550)

Document title: BSBWHS518_AG_SW_1of1 Page 23 of 25 Resource ID: TBS_20_003_BSBWHS518_AG_SW_1of1 © TAFE NSW 2020 Feedback: Topic 5 Activity 5.1: Identify WHS-related training needs and identify skill gaps 1. For one item of plant that is used in your business industry, research and identify the WHS training requirements for using this and the applicable registration, licensing and certification requirements. Feedback Answers will vary; however, you must identify the training requirements for your item of plant along with the registration, licensing and certification needs. For example: Forklift: • Forklifts are used in a wide variety of workplaces and remain one of the major sources of workplace injury. WHS Legislation requires that any person who is required to drive a forklift must hold a High-Risk Licence of the appropriate class (LF or LO). • Forklift licences are nationally recognised and last for 5 years. • Forklift licence training is carried out by a registered training organisation. 2. With reference to question one, identify a comparable item of plant, for example, a higher-grade model or a different manufacturer's model, and determine any skills gaps and training needs that may apply. Provide a short summary report to record these needs. Feedback Answers will vary; you must identify any skills gaps or training requirements from comparing the second item of plant against that detailed in your answer to question one. Responses will typically include a reference to improvements in technology or the incorporation of computerisation in some plant. For example: At my workplace, the forklift in operation was very old. It had a gas-powered engine with the heavy cylinder on the back above the counterweight. The seat was torn and loos in its mounts, and there was no seatbelt. The forks lifted up and down, and the mast had some capacity to tile back and forward.

Document title: BSBWHS518_AG_SW_1of1 Page 24 of 25 Resource ID: TBS_20_003_BSBWHS518_AG_SW_1of1 © TAFE NSW 2020 The replacement forklift is diesel-powered which meant different refuelling procedures. It is fitted with a seatbelt which locks out the ignition, preventing it from starting unless the operator has the seatbelt connected. The forks go up and down, and the mast tilts back and forward, though both movements are considerably faster than on the old forklift. The forks also move sideways on the headboard to allow easier and more accurate placement of pallets. The new features of the forklift presented as gaps in existing worker knowledge and required retraining. Licences were still valid, though the specific operational aspects of the new forklift needed to be highlighted and workers trained. Activity 5.2: Identify how to ensure training is undertaken and completed 1. How can you make sure that training related to plant is carried out? Feedback Your responses could include: • You should plan training, making sure you prioritise needs (training should support workers' needs and work production). • You should request and obtain a training budget (training must be affordable and agreed with management). • Organise and agree on training schedules (this must be communicated to all parties). • Prepare for training (such as providing training details and arrangements, producing itineraries and training materials, and liaising with trainers). 2. From your own thinking, suggest three ways you can maintain training records to meet WHS and organisational requirements. Feedback Answers may vary but must suggest three suitable ways to maintain training records; this may include: • applying data protection and security to protect workers' personal details • using a logical storing/filing system, so records are easily identifiable • using a consistent format to record information in training records • retaining records for the required period of time (for example, five or seven years).
