Furniture has been arranged so it is easy for Hannah to get around.

Hannah uses a cane.

In the past, Hannah has been able to confine Brett to one area for play activities. Now there are toys all over the place.

Hannah is capable of providing meals for herself and Brett.

All cupboards have child safety locks.

There are safety protectors on all power points.

There is one smoke alarm in the kitchen – the battery was last changed 12 months ago.

RISK LEVELSResolution at each level involves reducing the risk level to a lower level of risk Extreme – requires immediate assessment with management consideration. A detailed plan, regular monitoring and reporting is required with a target

resolution within 1 month timeframe High – requires immediate assessment with senior staff consideration, planning and reporting. Target resolution should ideally be within 3 months Medium – reviewing of existing controls and planning required. Resolution timeframe should be within 1 year Low – the risk may be tolerable and controlled if managed with high quality process and procedures





APPENDIX 4 - Audit Tool – Workplace Safety Site InspectionsGUIDELINES FOR IDENTIFYING HAZARDS

PHYSICAL HAZARDS Floors - clean and dry. Free of defects and misplaced objects Walkways - unobstructed, even surface, gated closed/locked, no slippery surfaces, ramps at appropriate incline,

handrails in good order Passages - unobstructed, accessible to traffic, doors open easily, exit doors secure, handrails in good order Hygiene - area uncluttered, free of dust and rubbish, e.g. cupboards, lockers, over bed tables, window sills and

blinds Storage - adequate space, accessible, safely stored Lighting - adequate lighting for the purpose, windows clean and free of defects, emergency light, e.g. torches

available and working Noise/Temperature/Humidity - satisfactory in work environment Equipment - adequate for needs, easily accessible, in sound working order, safety mechanisms intact. E.g. brakes,

seatbelts Ergonomics - beds, benches and work areas at working level, chairs adjustable to individual sizes, lifting machine

available and working

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS Switches and sockets – undamaged, turned off when not in use Leads and plugs – not frayed, safely situated away from walk areas, excess length coiled away from liquids Electrical testing – all appliances safety checked and labelled by electrician, eg televisions, patient shavers,

hairdryers, pan flushers, pumps

CHEMICAL HAZARDS Storage – containers/items safely stored and labelled Protective clothing – readily available and worn by staff Oxygen, suction and air – equipment functioning Safety warning signs – prominent if required for special hazards

BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS/INFECTION CONTROL Protective clothing – readily available and worn by staff e.g. goggles, gloves etc. Sharps – appropriate disposal, accessibility of sharps containers Rubbish – bins of adequate size, labelled and emptied regularly, used as per waste disposal, area free of

rubbish Refrigerator – no out of date foods or fluids Pan flusher - reaches minimum 80C and door cannot be opened during the heat phase

HAZARD RATING SCALE SHADED – NOT APPLICABLE Shade the box if the hazard is not applicable for that area. SCORE = 0 – NO HAZARD IDENTIFIED When inspecting a particular room/area, a zero score is given if no hazard for a particular item has been found. SCORE = 1 – POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT CAN BE RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY When inspecting a room or area, a score of 1 is given if the problem identified can be immediately rectified. For

example, if boxes obstruct an exit and these can be moved without further discussion then a score of 1 is given. It is not necessary to record this in the HAZARD SUMMARY; a score of 1 indicates the hazard was of a minor nature.

SCORE = 2 – POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT REQUIRES DISCUSSION AND FOLLOW UP A hazard score of 2 indicates that the problem identified cannot be rectified immediately. For example, frayed

electrical leads may need replacing and this is usually done by outside providers. This information is recorded in the HAZARD SUMMARY at the time it is identified and the date is recorded when then problem is resolved.

SCORE = 3 – MAJOR HAZARD THAT REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION A hazard score of 3 indicates that the problem identified is of a serious nature and needs immediate attention

otherwise the area may need to be closed. For example, a gas leak or compromised electrical safety.

Assessment 2: Research Work/Project Assessor Feedback

This should be used by the trainer/assessor to document the student’s skills, knowledge and performance as relevant to the unit activity. Indicate in the table below if the student is deemed satisfactory (S) or not satisfactory (NS) for the activity or if reassessment is required.

The assessor must provide evidence with the assessment tool. For written questions the assessor must provide the student’s original written responses. For verbal questioning, the assessor must provide dot points as a minimum on the student responses.For details on how to conduct and contextualise this form of assessment, please refer to the questioning checklist explanation in the assessor guide.

Assessment 3: Simulation / Workplace Observation

The candidate must show evidence of the ability to complete tasks outlined in elements and performance

criteria of this unit, manage tasks and manage contingencies in the context of the job role.

There must be demonstrated evidence that the candidate has completed the following tasks at least once

in line with state/territory WHS regulations, relevant codes of practice and workplace procedures:

contributed to a workplace WHS meeting or inspection

conducted a workplace risk assessment and recorded the results

consistently applied workplace safety procedures in the day-to-day work activities required by the job

role, including:

o infection control

o hazardous manual tasks

o use of personal protective equipment

o reporting incidents

followed workplace procedures for at least one simulated emergency situation.

Practical observations will be conducted during Work placement in an appropriate health care setting.

Students are required to advise ANTS Student coordinator re making arrangements for Work placement.

Once work placement has been arranged, students will be advised of the Assessors schedules.

Students will be visited 3 three times during their placement.

Students will use the HLTWHS002_Observation Checklist as a guide to the activities that need to be performed in the workplace.

Assessors will use the HLTWHS002_Observation Checklist_Trainer Guide as a guide to the activities that need to be performed in the workplace.
