||
|
3.1 |
What are the different risks associated with asbestos? Write your answer in 50 words. |
||
|
The fibres are inhaled; asbestos is known to cause some serious health risks, such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Alteration of asbestos-containing material of disturbance exposes fibres to the air, a cause of respiratory diseases in the long run (Curado et al. 2024). Risks of exposure are higher in cutting, drilling, demolition, or even renovation of construction sites. |
|||
|
3.2 |
Discuss the procedures for identifying and reporting asbestos in 50 words. |
||
|
Asbestos is detected by determining building age, site records, labelling materials, and asbestos registers, as well as physically examining the suspected materials without any form of disturbance. In case of any suspicion of asbestos, it is imperative to cease the work, isolate the area, and inform the supervisor or licensed personnel of asbestos in accordance with WHS procedures. |
|||
|
3.3 |
How can you identify hazardous materials? What are the key WHS requirements for Safety Data Sheets (SDSs)? Write your answer in 50 words. |
||
|
The labels, warning signs, Safety Data Sheets (SDSs), and workplace registers allow identifying dangerous materials (DeMasi et al. 2022).

Answer the following questions regarding procedures for following safe practices when dealing with hazards and hazardous materials and controlling risks: |
||
|
4.1 |
Discuss the procedures for following safe practices when dealing with the following hazards and hazardous materials in 30-70 words each. a) Treated timber b) Glass fibres c) Glass fibres |
||
|
a) Treated Timber The use of timbers that have been treated requires that the workers use relevant PPE, such as gloves, long sleeves, eye protection, and dust masks, to avoid skin contact and inhalation of dust. Sawing or sanding of things is carried out in well-ventilated places, and waste is disposed of as required by the environmental and WHS regulations (Kennedy et al. 2023). b) Glass Fibres In operating the glass fibres, the workers are using protective clothing, gloves, eye protection, and respiratory protection to avoid skin irritation and inhalation. The working conditions are to be properly ventilated, the materials are to be handled with caution, and the exposed skin is washed properly after the work is done to limit the health risks. c) Glass Fibres Proper precaution when handling glass fibres is to avoid direct contact with the skin, and also to have the right PPE, like masks and coveralls, and to minimize cutting or disturbing the fibres, which releases the fibres (Al-Hamad & Gil nyi, 2025). The work surfaces are supposed to be washed in an approved way, and waste materials are to be discarded safely so that the air is not exposed to the fibres. |
|||
|
4.2 |
Discuss the procedures for controlling risks in 150-200 words. |
||
|
Workplace risk control procedures are adopted to eradicate or reduce the risk and avoid injuries or diseases. The initial one is to discover the hazards by carrying out inspections, job safety analysis (JSAs), and worker consultation. Risks have to be evaluated after the hazards have been determined by looking at the probability and the extent of possible damage (Ostad-Ali-Askari, 2022). The hierarchy of control, then, is used to select the appropriate control measures. The pyramid of control emphasizes the removal of the hazard as much as possible. In case elimination is not viable, substitution is an option that involves substituting the hazard with a safer one. It is then followed by engineering controls to isolate people from the hazard through guards, barriers, or ventilating systems. Exposure is minimized through administrative controls such as safe work procedures, training, signage, and supervision (Janik-Karpinska et al. 2023). The last control is the personal protective equipment (PPE), which must be combined with other controls and not considered the only one. It has to be put on paper and shared with the workers and checked on a regular basis. It is important to ensure that the risk control measures are checked whenever the circumstances at the workplace change, there is an incident, or there are new hazards to ensure the workplace safety and WHS compliance is maintained. |

Activity 1: Implementing safe work practices for identifying and assessing risks |
|
Activity context:
An employee (Mark) was working on a ladder, and the ladder collapsed. The employee fell off the ladder and breaks his arm.
The investigation reveals the following details:
The employee had worked seven 12-hour shifts in a row.
The accident happened at the end of the shift.
The employee was standing on the top step of the ladder (an unsafe action).
The employee was approximately 10 feet above floor level.
No fall arrest or restraint system was used.
A ladder inspection policy is in place, but there is no evidence that the ladder has ever been inspected.
Investigation reveals the ladder was damaged and did not provide a stable working platform in any environment.
An interview with the facility manager reveals that he did not inspect the ladder due to inspection. He was aware that the ladder needed to be inspected.
You went to the site and took the following photograph of the present situation. |
|
|
|
Description of the activity: |
|
This activity requires the student to implement safe work practices for identifying and assessing risks.
To do so, you are required to follow the steps given below and complete the templates associated with each step, if any.
Step 1: Determine the following for avoiding such incidents in the workplace and document using Template 1:
Duty of care requirements of employees and employee Safe work practices that should have been followed in such situation. Safe work instructions for controlling risks
Step 2: Complete Incident report (Template 2) based on the workplace procedures, Australian government and state or territory WHS legislation.

You must use the attached Hazard/ incident/ accident reporting template to complete this activity: |
|
Activity 1 Template 1: Safe work practices |
|
Safe work practices (200 words) |
|
Duty of care requirements of employees and employee |
|
The legal obligation of care is on employees to exercise reasonable care, as regards their health and safety, and that of other employees or a person who might be impacted by their work. This involves adherence to WHS policies and procedures, the use of equipment within the intended use, adherence to training and instruction, and reporting the hazards, unsafe environment, or damaged equipment as soon as possible. It is the responsibility of the employers to offer and ensure a safe working environment, safe plants and machinery, proper supervision, proper training, and safe mechanisms of operation. The employers are also expected to deal with fatigue risks, high-height working risks, and equipment maintenance risks. |
|
Safe work practices that should have been followed in such situation. |
|
Safe work practice in this case ought to have involved a pre-use inspection of the ladder and the removal of the ladder from service after the damage had been discovered. The employee is not supposed to have been on the top step of the ladder, because this is unsafe and against the guidelines of the manufacturer. Appropriate access equipment has been chosen for the task, and the height of working and fall prevention have been taken into consideration. It has also applied fatigue management practices that include limiting the number of long shifts in succession and taking sufficient rest breaks. |
|
Safe work instructions for controlling risks |
|
Some of the instructions on safe work that ensure that risks are controlled are checking the ladders every time it is used. It involves tagging defective equipment and reporting it to be repaired or replaced, placing ladders on a stable surface, and keeping three points of contact at any given time. Employees stay within the range of safe working height and use the fall arrest or fall restraints where necessary. All the work related to heights is clearly instructed and supervised. |
|
Workplace procedures for reporting incidents |
|
Workplace rules have it that accidents and wounds are reported promptly to a manager or on-site supervisor. First aid is provided, in the case of necessity, emergency services are addressed, and the area of the incident is secured. The incident report form has to be filled out perfectly, and the incidents are also investigated to find out causal and corrective measures. |
|
Australian government and state or territory WHS legislation applicable to reporting of incidents. |
|
The incident reporting is in accordance with the Model Work Health and Safety Act 2011, Model Work Health and Safety Regulations 2011, and state or territory WHS or OHS legislation, including the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (Victoria). |

Figure 1: Incident Diagram This diagram illustrates the root causes of a workplace accident where a worker fell from a 10-meter ladder. It identifies four primary contributors which are people (fatigue and unsafe behaviour), equipment (damaged ladder and lack of inspection), environment (poor lighting and congestion), and management (inadequate training and maintenance systems).
|
|||||
|
Describe the circumstances of the hazard/incident/accident. |
|||||
|
The accident occurred at the end of a very long working day, and the employee had already completed seven 12-hour shifts, which are likely the source of fatigue. The employee is working on a tall ladder with a portable ladder that has not been checked in line with the working regulations. The ladder had subsequently been discovered to be malfunctioning and unsound and could not be effectively utilized (Kahramanovich, 2025). The employee is on the upper step of the ladder, which is unsafe and against the rule of the manufacturer's rules. At the time of the task, there was no fall arrest or restraint system. The ladder was approximately ten feet above the floor when it fell, and the worker fell to the ground, sustaining a broken arm. |
|||||
|
Description of hazard/incident/accident: |
|||
|
The risk was in the use of defective and uninspected ladders to undertake height work without the provision of relevant fall controls. What happened was that the employee is propping himself on the top step of the ladder that is not intended to allow safe working practices. The position of the ladder became not that stable, and it did not offer a safe platform and fell during its usage. The worker dropped about ten feet to the ground, and his arm is broken (Diamond & Bowen, 2022). Some of the causes of these included failure to inspect equipment used, poor hazard identification, neglect of safe working procedures, and exhaustion due to long working hours. The lack of a fall prevention system or restraints also added to the severity.

|
|
Once suspected asbestos-containing material is detected in the worksite, any work in the area is halted at once to reduce disturbance and release of fibres. Barricades and warning signs are used to seal off the area from access by unauthorised personnel. The hazard had been reported orally to the Supervisor immediately it is identified, with the details of the location, type of material and condition. A hazard report is then formulated and signed off upon per work protocols and entered into the hazard register (Schortz et al. 2022). The Supervisor also contracted a licensed asbestos assessor to look at and validate the existence of asbestos. No additional work is to be carried out in the area until relevant risk controls, such as an asbestos management plan and its removal by licensed contractors, are applied. Employees are advised to abide by site practice and be careful not to touch or move hazardous asbestos.

Risk controls
The hierarchy of control can be used as an effective tool to deal with health and safety issues at work. Use the type of control suggested as measures to deal with the hazard. Aim to use control measures from as high on the hierarchy of control list as possible. If that is not possible, the next option down the list or a combination of the measures should be implemented. The least effective control measure is the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and it should be used as a last resort or support to other control measures. Information and training should be integrated with all levels of control to explain how controls work.
1. Eliminate if it is possible, the hazard should be removed completely. For example, get rid of dangerous machines.
2. Substitute replace something that produces the hazard with something that does not produce a hazard. For example, replacing solvent-based paint with water-based paint. Risk assessment on the substitution must be conducted to ensure that it will not pose another hazard.
3. Engineering control isolate a person from the hazard by creating a physical barrier or making changes to process, equipment or plant to reduce the hazard. For example, install ventilation systems.
4. Administrative control change the way a person works by establishing policies and procedures to minimise the risks. For example, job scheduling to limit exposure and posting hazard signs.
5. Use personal protective equipment (PPE) protect a person from the hazard by wearing PPE. For example, wearing gloves, safety glasses, hard hats and high-visibility clothing. PPE must be correctly fitted, used and maintained to provide protection.
