The Naja Group of Colleges

Scenario

The Naja Group of Colleges embarked on a new business adventure with the aim of providing an exceptional student experience. A home-style-food cafeteria was introduced into the business model of the Naja Group of College. The project had been in the planning staged for more than two years and finally it was implemented in January 2018.

Now, every campus has a cafeteria with the capacity to fit at least 75 clients at any given time.

The Situation

You, Stanley Evans, the Operations Manager at The Naja Group of Colleges, had been monitoring the activity of the Cafeteria in the Norwest campus for some time because the number of complaints from both students and staff members about the cafeteria is increasing.

So you decide that action needs to be taken. You sent the following email to the Board of Directors:

Dear Esteemed Members of the Board,

RE: Norwest Campus Cafeteria.

I have been closely monitoring the activities of the cafeteria at our Norwest campus for more than six months as I had noticed an increasing number of complaints from both the students and the staff members about the cafeteria.

The number of these complaints increased alarmingly in the last three months.

I now am of the opinion that if you do not intervene immediately, our reputation as a quality provider of education is at risk.

Please find attached a brief breakdown of the complaints for your reference.

Please advise on how to tackle this issue without causing further damage.

Best regards,

Stanley Evans,

Operations Manager

The Naja Group of Colleges

Having received your email, the Board of directors send you the following email:

Dear Stanley,

RE: Norwest Campus Cafeteria.

The Board of Directors appreciate you diligence.

We agree that the matter is urgent and requires immediate action.

We have decided that you are to temporarily relocate your office to the Norwest campus as of this coming Monday to focus all your attention on rectifying this issue.

We will inform the Principal at the Norwest campus of your temporary relocation and to provide with all the cooperation you need.

We will expect you to provide us with weekly updates.

Please let us know if you require any assistance in with this endeavour.

Best regards,

The Board of Directors,

The Naja Group of Colleges

TASK 1 : CONSULTATION / COMMUNICATION PLAN

You have now been at the Norwest campus for one week investigating the situation. You determine that the complaints identify 3 major areas of concern:

  • Hazard identification and reporting
  • Incident and incident reporting, and
  • Evacuation of staff, students and visitors.

You further determine that the primary cause of the complaints is as a direct result of employees not knowing and not adhering to the organisational policies and procedures.

So you inform the Board of Directors of your findings and you receive the following email from them:

Dear Stanley,

RE: Norwest Campus Cafeteria.

Thank you very much for your swift actions in identifying the root cause of the situation.

The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the staff members will need intensive training on adhering to organisational policies and procedures.

This will require much research and consultation, both internally as well as externally.

As a first step, we think you should develop a consultation / communication plan.

Once the Board of Directors approves the plan you then can start implementation.

Looking forward to reviewing the plan.

Best regards,

APPENDIX 4: WHS LEGISLATION COMPLIANCE GUIDELINES

Introduction

As Work Health and Safety (WHS) is regulated by legislation it is vital that the COLLEGE has a mechanism to enable the identification of legislative requirements. This document outlines the process in which the WHS Unit and campus community identifies applicable legislation and remains up to date with legislative changes.

Scope

This document outlines legislation, codes of practice and Australian Standards applicable to the COLLEGE’s WHS Management System. The list of applicable standards and codes of practice is not exhaustive, and aims to identify those operations where reference to guidelines is required to minimise risk of injury.

Responsibilities

Manager WHS Unit

The Manager of the WHS Unit is responsible for ensuring:

  • activities are implemented for the identification and monitoring of all health and safety legislation, standards, codes of practice, agreements and guidelines relevant to the COLLEGE
  • any new or changed WHS requirements are disseminated to the COLLEGE as appropriate.

Management of Departments

Managers and supervisors are responsible for ensuring WHS legislative compliance for activities under their responsibility.

Maintaining and Monitoring Legislative Information

To ensure that the COLLEGE has reference to the most applicable and current legislation, the WHS Unit maintains subscriptions and memberships to publications, journals and associations.

Subscriptions include:

  • SafeWork NSW e-bulletin
  • Safety Institute of Australia
  • Thomson Reuters Occupational Health News
  • Worksafe Safety Australia Safety Alert
  • Standards Australia Online (COLLEGE Library). Memberships include:
  • NSW Self Insurers Association
  • Australasian COLLEGE Safety Association.

The Manager WHS or WHS Advisors shall identify any relevant new legislation, standards, codes of practices and agreements or changes and initiate a legislative compliance review for applicable WHSMS documentation.

Identification of Applicable Legislative Information

All work health and safety management system (WHSMS) documentation shall identify:

  • the title of any relevant legislation, code of practice or Australian Standard, agreements or guidelines that support the content of the particular document
  • the requirements of applicable legislation, code of practice, Australian Standard etc
  • the COLLEGE standard to enable compliance to the applicable legislation, code of

practice or Australian Standard.

Communication of Legislative Information

Mechanisms are in place for alerting new and changed legislative requirements to the COLLEGE community. This primarily includes communication via the Central WHS Committee and Workplace Advisory Committees.

Where appropriate stakeholders such as Directors, CEOs, Heads or Managers of Departments, or technical officers may be communicated directly via email of any changes or updates.

Access to Legislative Information

Access to current relevant WHS legislation, Australian Standards, codes of practice, agreements and guidelines is primarily available through electronic media from the WHS site including this document and other external internet sites. Where electronic information is inaccessible, relevant legislative material is to be maintained in hardcopy and noted in this document accordingly.

The WHS Unit provides external links on the COLLEGE website to facilitate individuals accessing up to date legislative information. External links to sites containing relevant information include;

  • SafeWork NSW
  • New South Wales Office of Environment and Heritage
  • Safe Work Australia
  • Australasian COLLEGE Safety Association
  • Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade

Specific Activities

Any person undertaking specific activities, performing work or operating equipment which includes those activities requiring licences, certificate of competency, notification to regulatory department, registration, approval, exemption or any other type as required by legislation will ensure compliance with relevant legislation and associated requirements.

The WHS Training Guidelines details activities requiring qualification and licences. The following COLLEGE guidelines details specific requirements for these activities:

  • Dangerous Goods
  • Plant and Equipment
  • Asbestos
  • Electrical
  • Forklifts
  • Radiation
  • Hazardous Chemicals
  • WHS Risk Management Guidelines.

Legislative requirements are incorporated into the operations of the COLLEGE undertakings through the following processes:

  • development of WHSMS documentation
  • undertaking of risk assessments and risk control plans development of safe work procedures
  • WHS training requirements.

COLLEGE workers are provided with information regarding WHS related regulatory requirements including legislation that significantly affects their role and responsibilities. This is identified via the WHS training competency profile and on-the-job training via information outlined in safe work procedures.

Government Organisations

SafeWork Australia

Safe Work Australia is an Australian Government statutory agency which has a responsibility to improve work health and safety and workers compensation arrangements across Australia. Safe Work Australia is a national policy body, not a regulator of work health and safety.

SafeWork NSW

SafeWork NSW (formerly WorkCover NSW) is the workplace safety regulator in NSW.

Key Legislation

Acts and Regulations

The legislation for WHS in NSW is:

Description of Risk Level

Actions

 

Low

If an incident were to occur, there would be little likelihood that an injury would result.

Undertake the activity with the existing controls in place.

 

Medium

If an incident were to occur, there would be some chance that an injury requiring First Aid would result.

Additional controls may be needed. 

 

High

If an incident were to occur, it would be likely that an injury requiring medical treatment would result.

Controls will need to be in place before the activity is undertaken.

 

Extreme

If an incident were to occur, it would be likely that a permanent, debilitating injury or death would result.

Consider alternatives to doing the activity.

Significant control measures will need to be implemented to ensure safety.

Task 3: Control the Risk

In the table below:

  1. List below the hazards/risks you identified in Task One.
  2. Rate their risk level (refer to information contained in Task Two to assist with this).
  3. Detail the control measures you will implement to eliminate or minimise the risk.

Note: Control measures should be implemented in accordance with the preferred hierarchy of control. If lower level controls (such as Administration or PPE) are to be implemented without higher level controls, it is important that the reasons are explained.

 

Hierarchy of Control

Most effective (High level)

Least effective

(Low level)

Elimination: remove the hazard completely from the workplace or activity

Substitution: replace a hazard with a less dangerous one (e.g. a less hazardous chemical)

Redesign: making a machine or work process safer (e.g. raise a bench to reduce bending)

Isolation: separate people from the hazard (e.g. safety barrier)

Administration: putting rules, signage or training in place to make a workplace safer 

(e.g. induction training, highlighting trip hazards)

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Protective clothing and equipment (e.g. gloves, hats)
