About Safety and Risk Management 1.1 An Introduction to this Unit This unit provides a critical insight into the theory and practice of managing safety and health at the workplace with a dual focus on risk management and safety management. Students have the opportunity to develop a safety systems approach concentrating on hazard identification, risk assessment and devising control measures incorporating safety management principles. Safety culture and its influence on WH&S practice is also detailed. In addition, the unit addresses the legal underpinning of WH&S requirements at the workplace. Labour market change and the role of government, unions and employer organisations are also examined. Global perspectives on WH&S from various jurisdictions ranging from the USA, Hong Kong and China are also scrutinised. 1.2 What is Expected of You Study Load For a 10 credit point unit, you are expected to study 10 hours per week. Class time for this unit totals 14 hours. You are expected to study a further 2 hours per day outside of class time and ten hours per week every other week over semester.

A major part of the application of safety and risk management principles is the skill to analyse and evaluate safety incidents and to identify weaknesses and failures which led to safety breaches or major incidents. The analysis of Case Studies will develop students’ skills in risk management and practical application of theory. Task There have been many train crashes in Australia and overseas as a result of safety breaches. Choose one of these incidents and, with supporting evidence discuss how safety breaches contributed to the train crash. Detail any changes to policy or practice that resulted from the incident and how this was implemented. Criteria Your assignment will be assessed on the following: • Academic writing style • Depth of discussion on the safety aspects leading to the incident • Discussion of the response to the incident and how safety has been improved. • Use of APA referencing style Western Sydney University – Learning GuideS A F E T Y A N D R I S K M A N A G E M E N T 3 0 0 6 7 7 S P R I N G 2 0 1 7 S E C T I O N T H R E E Resources Marking rubric: Assessment 1 Criteria Unsatisfactory Pass Credit Distinction High Distinction An introduction which clearly and concisely summarises the assignment content (10 marks) No introduction; or one that does not clearly and concisely summarise the assignment content.
