• Staff adherence and compliance to the procedure
• How staff are reacting and if there is any need for additional training or
changes to procedures or training
• The effectiveness of the WHS practice – are current practices ensuring the
health, safety and security of all employees and customers?
After the training, your assessor will take each student aside to run through a
scenario with you individually and then you will split back into your group you were
in for activity step 5 and conduct a debrief session asking employees for their
feedback and thoughts on how the drill went and to make suggestions for the
future.
7. Document your findings in a management training report.
• Staff adherence and compliance to the procedure
• How staff reacted during the training and if there is any need for additional
training or changes to procedures or training
• The effectiveness of the WHS practice – are current practices ensuring the
health, safety and security of all employees?
• General feedback from staff and any issues they may have raised.
• At least one future improvement to the procedure you would like to make and
your reasons for this.
Use WHS Training Report template.
Save this report as WHS training report.
Submit this to your assessor and file in your electronic folder system.
8. Address non-compliance,
It has come to your attention that one of the staff members failed to complete hazard
identification and reporting when he was the team leader for the first shift yesterday.
On top of that, a hazardous incident did occur and the register was not completed
either. One of the other staff members advised you about the matter later yesterday
afternoon.
Meet with the non-compliant staff member (your assessor) to discuss the issue and
provide the necessary training.
During the meeting, you will need to demonstrate effective communication skills
including:
• using non-verbal communication to assist with understanding
• asking questions to identify required information
• listen to the employee’s viewpoint.
During the meeting you are required to:
• counsel the employee and let them know the severity of the situation
• complete the required documentation with the employee demonstrating the
correct process.
• ensure the employee understands the procedure and the seriousness of the
issue.
Submit:
• a completed Hazard Identification Checklist for the kitchen

• 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.
10. Show your assessor your WHS filing system.

Show your assessor your folder formats and all the files within the
structure.
