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.

• Stay up to date!
• Stay in touch with your assessor. Ask questions, raise issues, check in,
communicate.
Most importantly, ask for help if you are having trouble!

1. Review key documents from the WHSMS and set up folders.

You now need to review some key documents as preparation for the next steps:

Workplace Health, Safety and Security Action Plan


The relevant WHS Policy and Procedures for the kitchen


WHS Administration Policy

The evacuation plan including posters and signs.

Make the assumption that items 1, 2 and 5 of the action plan have already been
completed.
Prepare to undertake action items 3, 4 and 6 of the action plan by preparing a
briefing session for staff that will ensure these items are completed.
Set up folder systems on your local drive on your computer as outlined in the WHS
Administration Policy and add the relevant soft copy documents to this. You will be
using this folder system throughout this assessment.

2. Develop WHS informative handouts for staff.

You are required to develop three health and safety information handouts, which
are to be provided to, and discussed with, your team at a WHS briefing.
Read the requirements for each of the handouts below and then conduct research
using the Internet to identify the information needed for each of the handouts and

Student Assessment Tasks SITXWHS007 Implement and monitor work health and safety practices
include information from the kitchen’s WHS Policy and Procedures, and reference
this as required in your handouts.
The format and style for the handouts are as follows:

Create clear and concise one (1) page handouts using computer software. You
can develop these in any program available to you such as Word, Publisher or
other design program – but Word is fine for this purpose.

Use simple and clear language that takes into account social and cultural
diversity. For, example, use simple English and avoid informal language or
slang.

Use appropriately sized fonts and present well-formatted, grammatically
correct information.

Ensure that the handouts you create use the same layout, font, colours and
style so they are consistent in their approach.
You will be required to present the handouts that you have developed at a WHS
briefing session soon. Print one copy of each handout for the training session but
save soft copies to your WHS filing system on your device.

Submit a copy of each handout to your assessor prior to the meeting.

Handout 1: Legislation

The purpose of this handout is to clearly and simply explain important information
about legislation. Your handout should:

Explain the purpose of Work Health and Safety legislation, including the
function of a WHS Act, WHS regulation and Code of Practice

Provide an overview of WHS legislation including name of Act, regulations and
examples of code of practice relevant to your state/territory.

Outline key roles and responsibilities under WHS legislation.


Include at least 3 references for further sources of useful information.

Handout 2: Identifying hazards and risk control in the café

The purpose of this handout is to provide information about identifying hazards and
risk control, and procedures for dealing with hazards in the environment.
You should briefly explain the process of identifying hazards and risk control and
provide 5 common examples of hazards that may occur in the kitchen environment
based on data from your research about the most common ones Include
information about how employees can complete an incident report and the
investigation process undertaken by the business.
Choose one of the common hazards that you have identified and include a simple
step-by-step procedure for dealing with that hazard (risk control), using diagrams to
illustrate each step where possible.
Your handout should also address and explain the hierarchy of control and how it is
to be used in the workplace.

3. Conduct a hazard inspection of the meeting room.

In the next activity step, you will run your WHS briefing session. In line with
procedure, and as outlined in action item 6, you are required to conduct a hazard
inspection using the relevant form from the WHSMS. Your assessor will set up the
room prior to you conducting the inspection.
Complete the checklist in full using a pen and make sure it is accurate and legible.
You will also be required to record recommended corrective actions as well as
future risk control measures.
You will be assessed on whether you have correctly identified the hazards and
suitable corrective actions and risk control measures.
When you have identified a hazard, implement procedures to control the risks
involved. Give a verbal commentary on what you are doing, so your assessor can
follow the thinking behind your actions. In particular, your commentary should
demonstrate how you are using the hierarchy of control to determine the best
procedures to implement.

Submit your completed Hazard Identification Checklist to the assessor


before the next step.

4. Conduct a WHS briefing session and induction to the new WHSMS.

feedback and thoughts on how the drill went and to make suggestions for the
future.

8. Address non-compliance,

It has come to your attention that one of the staff members failed to complete hazard

issue.

Submit:

• a Hazardous Incidents Register.
Save the files in your electronic folder system.

9. Develop a solution for the deficiency and email the owner.

Now that you have completed the counselling/training session and have new
information, develop a solution for the deficiency and email this to the owner to
have the changes implemented immediately. Make sure your email is warm and friendly
but also professional.
Submit the email or send it to your assessor. Save a copy in the WHS filing system
on your device.
