Policy. There is a legal requirement to have a health and safety policy and many other aspects of safety management

operation, communication, competence).

Planning and A key aspect of planning is risk assessment since if we do not know what risks there are in our area we are in
Implementing. no position to manage them. There is a risk assessment and risk control module which deals with risk
assessment in detail. Implementing is primarily concerned with the actions required to deal with specific types
of hazards and this is mainly dealt with in the module on common hazards.

Measuring Performance. There are two parts to measuring performance, reactive monitoring and active monitoring. We will look at what
these terms mean later in the course.

Reviewing Performance. The primary purpose of performance review is to organisations to learn by experience and use the lessons
learned to improve their health and safety performance.

Auditing. Auditing is the process of obtaining a systematic and independent view of the health and safety performance of
an organisation.

List the 6 steps of Risk Assessment


1) List the tasks to be performed and by whom
2) Identify hazards involved in performing the task
3) Determine who could be harmed by the hazards and how.
4) Evaluate the existing control measures to see whether any improvements need to be made.

6) Monitor and review your findings where necessary

The three ways of land pollution have occur


The answer to this question is contained in Module 8, Section 1.8.
Incorrect drainage connections, resulting in industrial waste entering surface water drains, which in turn flow into rivers.
Chemicals being washed into or disposed of into surface water drains.
Accidental spillage of oils and chemicals during delivery operations.
Leakage of oils and chemicals from drums and tanks.
Spillage of bulk foodstuffs such as milk, alcohol or cream

Inhalation (breathing it in)


- Ingestion (swallowing it)
- Absorption through the skin
- Absorption through the mucus membranes (eyes primarily)
- Injection with a sharp object

Chemical can contact our body from different way such as
