Workplace Safety WHS incident consultant for a business operator<\/p>\n

GENS5013\/AVIA3013 Group Assignment Brief S2, 2018<\/p>\n

Background:<\/p>\n

Your group is a team of consultants preparing information for business operators to help<\/p>\n

them learn from investigated WHS incidents. To do this, you will need to choose and<\/p>\n

showcase an important WHS scenario (accident, near hit or situation resulting in<\/p>\n

injury\/disease) and highlight what could have been done differently in order to have<\/p>\n

prevented the negative outcome(s).<\/p>\n

The task:<\/p>\n

Research a particular Australian workplace safety scenario (an incident, near hit, situation<\/p>\n

resulting in injury\/disease or fatality etc) as a group. An example might be the \u201cpink batts\u201d<\/p>\n

scheme which resulted several fatalities and a Royal Commission. Ensure that you choose a<\/p>\n

scenario for which there are multiple sources of information (ie. Not just news reports).<\/p>\n

Briefly describe what happened in the scenario and why you chose it. (What makes it<\/p>\n

interesting, important or significant in relation to data on injury or exposure, and its<\/p>\n

outcomes and implications for business?)<\/p>\n

Analyse the work system to understand and identify the factors that contributed to the<\/p>\n

scenario using frameworks from theory\/literature.<\/p>\n

Outline what should be done systemically by all relevant stakeholders in the future to<\/p>\n

ensure it does not happen again.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. All scenarios chosen should include a significant contribution to the scenario by the<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    workplace environment (physical and\/or psychological), work organisation and \/or<\/p>\n

    equipment. If you choose an aviation incident (such as a crash or runway excursion)<\/p>\n

    then you need to remember to look at the issue from a WHS perspective, rather<\/p>\n

    than an operational perspective.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Information about the chosen scenario should be publically available. For example,<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      you might find information about the scenario from a range of sources, including<\/p>\n

      legal report\/prosecution summaries, media coverage, case study reports,<\/p>\n

      investigation reports, royal commissions, public inquiries, coroner\u2019s reports, or<\/p>\n

      various organisational websites etc. You will need to consult a range of sources.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. You will need to refer to the research literature, relevant guidance material and<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        legislation in formulating your response.<\/p>\n

        Report format:<\/p>\n

        Develop a set of powerpoint slides (Maximum 20 slides, in Size 20 font) which responds to<\/p>\n

        the task above<\/p>\n

        References should be provided on additional slides (ie. the reference list will not be counted<\/p>\n

        in the 20 slides). References must still be provided in the text of your assignment. Notes on<\/p>\n

        the slides (ie material that is not on the slides) will not be considered when marking the<\/p>\n

        assignment).<\/p>\n

        Assessment criteria:<\/p>\n

        High marks will be awarded to assignments that<\/p>\n
