Overall Grade: ________________ Comment: ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ Part A: Workplace Issues including new Work Health and Safety Legislation 2012 1. With South Australia on board, Australia is a step closer to nationally harmonised workplace safety laws providing workers across Australia the same standard of health and safety protection regardless of where they work, or the work they do. To progress nationally consistent laws, Safe Work Australia, an Australian Government tripartite agency focused on improving work health and safety arrangements across Australia, developed a model Work Health and Safety Act that could be adopted by each state, territory and the Commonwealth. From 1 January 2013, South Australia's work health and safety legislation - which includes the Work Health and Safety Act 2012 (SA) and the Work Health and Safety Regulations 2012 (SA), supported by Codes of Practice - will align with New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, the Northern Territory and the Commonwealth. Summarise employer and employee entitlements and obligations with respect to Workplace Health & Safety matters. Perhaps use a table. (Source Answer to the new Legislation). 2. ‘Starting a new job’ “From the day you start a new job you should receive an induction outlining your employment conditions and rules. New workers are often unfamiliar with their workplace so it's important your employer provides the training, supervision and information you need to ensure a safe workplace. A culture of safety should be evident to all workers”. Discuss the above statement and summarise the important components of any induction program. 3. Research and comment briefly on any two(2) of the following issues that relate to the workplace in Australia. All researched answers must be acknowledged and the latest laws/information must be included in your answers. (Give examples of cases). Workplace Violence, Bullying, Harassment, Unfair Dismissal, Discrimination, Equal Employment Opportunity, Affirmative Action, Impact/Effects of globalisation. Part B: Workplace Injury 5. “Workplace accidents, injuries, fatalities and dangerous occurrences remain a problem in the Australian work environment for new and young workers in particular”. Comment on this statement and include relevant statistics to support your discussion. 6. Create a realistic workplace accident scenario. Obtain a copy of an accident and injury report form’ and show the completed document for the injured worker. Part C: Workplace Hygiene “A hygienic work environment is critical for businesses to maintain if they wish to survive”. In your answer refer to the social, moral and ethical considerations involved in the issue of workplace hygiene and use recent examples to illustrate your answer. Summarise by referring to the potential impact of a hygiene problem for a business. Include a discussion of the following under these headings: · Hygiene issues · Relevant examples · Social · Moral · Ethical · Potential impact
