What are the 4 steps for Hazard Management

Spot the hazard

Assess the hazard
Fix the hazard
Evaluate the result
Employer OHS obligations

Employers and management have responsibilities to:

• provide a safe environment to work in, for example, safe equipment ,
Materials and safe ways to work
• provide information, instruction, training and supervision to employees as needed to ensure they
can work as safely as possible
• identify unsafe situations before problems arise, and take corrective action to make them as safe
as possible
• take action to investigate any accidents, and to prevent them from happening again
• ensure that the work done does not cause harm to any person

Your OHS obligations

Employees have duties that support the employer, and provide responsibility for
things they have control over.
Employees have responsibility to:

• obey all reasonable safety instructions

• take reasonable care of their own health and safety, and for the safety of
others in the workplace
• report any dangerous situation
• work with the employer to improve safety at the workplace.
Safety Groups
Most workplaces have people or groups of people with specific roles relating to
Workplace Health and Safety. For example there may be:

• Health and safety representatives

• Supervisors
• Safety Officers
• Health and Safety Committees

1. Health and safety representatives

Health and safety representatives are the important links between employees and employers.
Health and safety representatives are people elected by co-workers to act on their behalf, telling
employers about safety and health concerns and cooperating with employers to implement and
maintain workplace health and safety.

2. Supervisors
Supervisors need to make sure that the people they are looking after are given the safety
instructions they need, and are able to perform their jobs safely. Portfolio record - OHS
organizations If you are planning to apply for RCC you need the information gained from the
learning activities you undertake. Wherever you see this icon there will be an action needed in the
Work Record Portfolio. Complete OHS organizations in the Work Record Portfolio.

3. Safety Officers
Safety officers are trained people who are hired by the employer to help with the management of
health and safety at the workplace. Some of the tasks Safety Officers may do are:
• organize OHS trainings
• investigate accidents
• provide first aid
• do risk assessments at the workplace.

4. Health and Safety Committees

Health and safety committees bring together workers, managers and representatives of other
important groups to help improve safety at the
workplace. Health and Safety Committees can assist with health and safety planning, and in the
development of safety plans, procedures and
documentation. They can also serve as a good place for discussion, and can recommend
solutions to more complex OHS problems. Safety committees can be formed at the request of the
employees at the workplace, or an employer can organize to help form one.

What are the legal requirements for personal protective equipment (PPE)?
PPE should be provided to workers wherever there are health (or safety) risks that cannot be
adequately controlled in other ways. PPE can reduce or prevent a worker's exposure to a health
hazard in the workplace and can include respirators, hearing protectors, protective clothing,
footwear ,face and eye shields. PPE is also required in specific situations and dealt with in
regulations made under OHSA.

How can the risks posed by health hazards be controlled?

The best methods of controlling exposure to a particular hazard will depend on
what it is. In general, methods of control can be placed in four categories:
Engineering controls are methods of designing or modifying plants, processes and
equipment so as to minimize workers' exposure to the hazard. They are preferred
because they work independently of workers.
  Work and hygiene practices are on-the-job activities that reduce the potential for exposure.
 Administrative controls are things like job rotation schedules, work-rest cycles and timing of
maintenance procedures, which can be used to limit the amount of time an individual is
exposed to a hazard.
 Personal protective equipment includes items like respirators, hearing protectors, safety
clothing and protective clothing. It can reduce a worker's exposure but must be used
properly to be effective.

Employers
Employers have the duty to provide appropriate protective wear. There are some exceptions, for
instance some soft-toe protective footwear and prescription safety glasses, which the employee
may be expected to provide. The employer must ensure that the PPE is clean and fit for purpose.
She must ensure that is replaced if it is worn or damaged. If the employee needs to be trained to
use it, she must ensure that he is given this training.

Employee
The employee has a duty to wear PPE correctly when she is required to do so. She
should report any damage to it, though she should not have to pay for this. She should also
attend any training provided on how to correctly wear or use PPE.

CONTINGENCY PLAN

A contingency plan is a plan devised for an exceptional risk that, though unlikely,
would have catastrophic consequences. Contingency plans are often devised
by governments or businesses. For example, suppose many employees of a company
are traveling together on an aircraft which crashes, killing all aboard. The company could
be severely strained or even ruined by such a loss. Accordingly, many companies have
procedures to follow in the event of such a disaster. The plan may also include standing
policies to mitigate a disaster's potential impact, such as requiring employees to travel
separately or limiting the number of employees on any one aircraft.
