SITWHS401 Implement and monitor work health and safety practices Section 5 Activity 17 1. Identify three potential hazards in a workplace where training might be an effective control measure. 2. Identify three hazards in a workplace where training probably is not an effective control measure. 3. Create a simple training program for one of the hazards you listed. Identify the resources needed, who will need to be consulted prior to training and an appropriate time for the training to be delivered. Upload your program for assessment. Optimum file size should be less than 7MB Activity 18 1. What are the benefits of evaluating training to both employees and the organisation? 2. When evaluating health and safety training how can you determine the appropriateness and effectiveness of the training? Section 6 Activity 19 1. List five health and safety records and reports that might need to be completed and stored in an organisation. 2. What are five pieces of information that should be recorded in an accident/ incident form? 3. How long should employers keep records for, according to your state or territories' health and safety legislation? Where should these be stored? Activity 20 1. Based on the workplace experience of eight lost time injuries for the year, and using the information provided in these example, Example 1 A workplace employs 150 employees who work a total of 350 000 hours in a year. During this year there are a total of 15 lost time injuries (any injury that results in the loss of at least one entire shift). These result in a total of 180 days off. The frequency rate for that year is calculated as: FR = Lost time injuries times 1 000 000 divided by the total number of hours worked. That is: FR = 15 x 1 000 000 /350 000 Therefore, in this example the frequency rate = 42.85. The incidence rate of occupational injuries and diseases is the number of occurrences expressed as a rate per thousand wage and salary earners employed. Example 2 A workplace employs 150 employees who work a total of 350 000 hours in a year. During this year there are a total of 15 lost time injuries (a lost time injury is any injury that results in the loss of at least one entire shift). These lost time injuries result in a total of 180 days off. The incidence rate for that year is: IR = Lost time injuries times 1000 divided by the number of wage earners. That is: IR = 15 x 1000/150 employees Therefore, in this example the incidence rate = 100. The average time lost rate of occupational injuries and diseases is the average time lost per occurrence of injury or disease. This rate provides a measure of the severity of the occurrences being experienced by workplaces over time. This can also be described as the severity rate (SR). Example 3 A workplace employs 150 employees who work a total of 350 000 hours in a year. During this year there are a total of 15 lost time injuries (a lost time injury is any injury that results in the loss of at least one entire shift). These lost time injuries result in a total of 180 days off. One year = 220 working days. The incidence rate for that year is: SR = Number of working days lost divided by the number of occurrences in the period. That is: SR = 180/15 Therefore, in this example the incidence rate = 12. calculate the following: a. Frequency rate. b. Incidence rate. c. Average lost time/ severity rate. 2. If you were required to present these statistics at a HSC meeting, describe how you would present this information. Upload your answer for assessment, including any graphs or tables that might be relevant. Activity 21 1. Describe the benefits of minimising waste. 2. In what ways can you contribute to reducing printed material use in the workplace?
