Student Assessment Tasks SITXWHS007 Implement and monitor work health and safety practices
Agendas: Agendas outline the topics and objectives of WHS meetings.
They guide discussions and ensure that important issues are addressed.
Minutes: Minutes record what was discussed, decisions made, and action
items assigned during WHS meetings. They provide a historical record of
WHS-related discussions and actions, which can be referred to when
assessing the progress of initiatives or identifying areas for improvement.
committee members
Committee members, representing various stakeholders within the
organization, bring their expertise and perspectives to WHS discussions.
Their involvement ensures that different viewpoints are considered when
monitoring and recommending changes.
consultation decisions and follow-up actions
Decisions made during consultations, such as risk assessments or safety
improvement proposals, are documented. Follow-up actions are assigned
to responsible parties, and progress is tracked. Monitoring these actions
ensures that agreed-upon measures are implemented effectively.
consultation processes
Understanding how consultation processes were conducted helps assess
the effectiveness of employee involvement in WHS matters. It allows for
an evaluation of whether consultations were thorough, inclusive, and
compliant with legal requirements.
diaries of meetings
Diaries or logs of WHS meetings can provide additional context, capturing
informal discussions, concerns, and observations that may not be present
in formal minutes. These diaries can help in understanding the evolving
dynamics and issues within the workplace.
WHS information provided to personnel
The quality and comprehensiveness of WHS information provided to
personnel are essential. Monitoring reports can assess whether employees
have access to the necessary information, training, and resources to work
safely. Recommendations may involve improving the dissemination of
critical safety information.
risk controls
Monitoring risk controls involves evaluating the effectiveness of measures
put in place to mitigate workplace hazards. Reports can assess whether
controls are working as intended, whether new risks have emerged, and
whether adjustments are needed.
safe work practices
Monitoring safe work practices involves assessing whether employees are
adhering to established safety protocols and procedures.
Recommendations may involve refining these practices, enhancing
training, or addressing any deviations from safe work standards.
