Assessment Task 2 Instructions
Carefully read the following:




Grow Management Consultants is a management consultancy business.
Staff employed in the business include the CEO, Operations Manager, two Senior Management Consultants
and an Administration Officer. There are also three management consultant contractors who work from the
office at least 2 days a week each, as well as from home. All of the management consultants travel
extensively across Australia, visiting clients.
Grow Management Consultants has an existing Health and Safety Policy and Procedure but as the
organisation has expanded, the CEO believes that it is time to update the policy and procedure and to
establish additional procedures including health and safety procedures to be followed when working from
home as this is a common practice of the management consultants.
The CEO has indicated that he does not want to incur any additional costs in implementing the WHS
management system and wants to incorporate WHS responsibilities into existing staff roles. These also
need to be clearly defined in the health and safety policy and procedure.
The CEO has identified that the areas of the policy and procedure that need updating are as follows:
 Include definitions of duty holders under WHS legislation
 Types of hazard inspections need to be broadened to include pre-operation and regular inspections,
as well as working from home inspections (see below).
 WHS Communication and Consultation Arrangements: the current Health and Safety Policy refers
to the need to consult with workers, but the WHS procedure does not say how it will occur. Suitable
communication and consultation arrangements need to be identified for Grow Management
Consultants and procedures developed. These arrangements also need to be in accordance with
legislative requirements.
 While the current policy and procedures refer to hazard identification and risk control generally, it
has been identified that there are no specific procedures with regard to working from home health
and safety requirements. As working from home is a common practice for the management
consultants, this needs to be addressed. A procedure needs to be developed.
 The policy and procedures do not address the requirement of ensuring that where there are
changes to a work procedure or system, that a hazard identification is conducted. The inspection
should identify any new hazards that may be created, and ways to control these.
As the Operations Manager you are responsible for researching, developing and implementing the above
changes. You will also need to ensure that any new procedures added include which staff member is
responsible.

Complete the following activities:




1. Revise the WHS Policy and Procedure
Review the existing Grow Management Consultants WHS Policy and Procedures (Policy and
Procedures Student), as well as the scenario information regarding updates required to these.
Then conduct research using the link shown under Requirements on the previous page, or any
other sources of information of your choice, to identify:
 Duty holders under WHS legislation
 Best practice hazard identification and risk control
 Best practice WHS communication and consultation practices
 Health and safety requirements for working from home.
Following your review and research, update the WHS Policy and Procedures. The updated
document should clearly address all of the areas above.
Highlight all changes you have made (using either tracked changes or a coloured highlight).




2. Send an email to the management team (your assessor).
The text of the email should be in grammatically correct English, written in an appropriate (polite,

The email text should also confirm that the changes will not incur costs, and roles and
responsibilities can be incorporated into existing job roles.
It should also seek feedback on all aspects of the changes you have made to the policy and
procedures.
Attach your revised Health and Safety Policy and Procedures to the email.
