Where this unit of competency is equivalent to a unit of competency previously completed with another provider, credit
transfer will be offered and the course length adjusted accordingly. It is the responsibility of the student to provide the
relevant evidence of qualifications or statements of attainment issued by other Registered Training Organisations, which
will be verified by the College prior to credit transfer being applied.

Support Services
Your trainer/assessor is able to clarify any aspect of an assessment task prior to it being administered. This may include
clarifying: knowledge and skills covered during the training program; the meaning of written assessment questions;
performance standards for practical assessments; and marking criteria.
Once the assessment process has commenced however, the assessor is not able to provide any intervention or guidance,
unless it is to prevent an unsafe act from being performed.
Please ask for help when you need it, as your trainer/assessor may not be aware that you have not understood aspects of
the training program or are not feeling confident enough to engage in assessment activities.

 7 Evaluation and Supervision:

To be sure the SWMS is working, establish a system to evaluate and track it frequently. It may
be essential to perform evaluations on a frequent basis, particularly in cases when there are
changes to the work environment or processes.

Question 2: Do work health and safety matters such as manual handling and sun exposure need to be included in a
SWMS? Explain your answer.

Manual Work:

Any activity that requires the use of physical force to lift, drop, push, pull, carry, or move an object in
any other way relates to manual handling. It is a common reason for accidents at work.
When including manual handling concerns into a SWMS, one may recognise possible hazards
associated with lifting, carrying, or manipulating objects and take advantage of the opportunity to put
control mechanisms into effect to prevent accidents.

Sunlight Consumption:
Sun exposure can be dangerous, particularly while working outside. Long-term heat stress,
sunburns, and a higher probability of skin cancer may arise from prolonged sun exposure.
Including sun exposure considerations in a SWMS, risks associated to working outdoors can be
evaluated, considering factors like weather, length of exposure, and available control measures (e.g.,
using sunscreen, using protective clothing)

Question3: SWMS must be site specific.

Gather data on the task, such as site situations, tools to be used, materials required and any
relevant safety laws.
Talk to the relevant those involved:
During the development process, include appropriate individuals such as employees,
managers, safety officers, and supervisors. When trying to identify potential hazards, their
advice is crucial.
Execute a Risk Assessment:
Evaluate the dangers related to the specified action. Take into consideration possibilities of
occurrence, potential effects, and hazards. Employ matrices and risk assessment
techniques.
Select the appropriate control measures:
To reduce or eliminate the risks that have been identified, identify them and set control
measures in action. Administrative, engineering, and personal protective equipment controls
are a few examples of this.

b. describe the purpose and application of SDS when working with different materials?

The purpose of SDS:

Hazard Communication:
SDS is a vital instrument of communication providing details on the risks connected with various
materials. It ensures that possible hazards are communicated to employees, emergency personnel,
and other appropriate individuals.
Emergency Reaction:
For emergency response teams in situations of spills, accidents, or exposure incidents, SDS offers
essential data. This includes information on first aid, fire safety precautions, and suitable handling
techniques.
Compliance to Regulations:
A lot of locations have regulations requiring SDS. It provides thorough information about chemicals
used in the workplace, assisting companies in compliance to health and safety laws.

Applications of SDS:
Material Identification: SDS offers accurate material identification, including synonyms, a
commercial name, and chemical names. For workers who need to know the substances they are
dealing with, this is important.
Hazard Identification: The material's potential physical, health, and environmental hazards are

 identified in the SDS. Workers may better understand the dangers by using this information.
Safe Handling and Storage: SDS provides instructions for handling, preserving, and transferring
items in a safe manner. This includes recommendations for applying engineering controls and
wearing personal protective equipment (PPE).
Emergency Procedures: SDS offers thorough emergency procedures in situations of exposure or
accidents. This understanding is needed for a rapid and effective incident response that avoids harm
to individuals and the environment.
Education and Training: SDS is an invaluable instrument for initiatives related to training. It
assists in teaching employees about safe handling methods, emergency response protocols, and
potential hazards.

Question10: In order of effectiveness, list the 6 elements of the Hierarchy of Control.

1 Reduce the risk completely from the workplace.

Example: Find a safer substitute for a hazardous material to get rid of the need for it.

2 Substitute the hazardous material, procedure, or item of equipment with one that provides
less of a risk.
Example: Use a safer alternative to a dangerous cleaning solution to attain the same cleaning
outcomes.
3 Alter the design to maintain workers safe from risks or control exposure.
Installing ventilation systems, for example, it will help to collect and eliminate pollutants from
the air.
4 Reduce exposure to hazards through putting rules, work practices, or procedures into action.
As an example, establish work plans that rotate employees to minimize their exposure to
particular risks.
5 Workers must be taught to recognize and stay clear of risks.
As an example, implement safety training programs to raise awareness of potential hazards
while promoting safe work routines.

 6 Provide protective equipment to minimize the hazards that employees face.
For example, providing employee’s safety goggles, gloves, or respiratory masks.

Question 11: Why do administration controls appear so far down the list of controls?

As they rely on compliance and human behavior, administrative controls are positioned lower in the
hierarchy of controls than measures at higher levels, which could clarify their higher efficiency.
Administrative controls are prioritized below other controls in the hierarchy because they directly
address the source of the hazard or build physical barriers to safeguard employees.
Here are the main reasons for the later deployment of administrative controls:
People's Behavior Is Reliable
People's constant adherence to policies and procedures often serves as the basis of administrative
controls. The consistent control of risks may not be ensured by depending just on human behavior,
because it can be unpredictable.
Efficiency:
Administrative controls are frequently seen as less effective than measures more up the hierarchy,
although knowing that they can be successful when executed correctly. Through directly targeting the
hazard, engineering controls, substitution, and even particular kinds of personal protective equipment
(PPE) offer a stronger barrier.
Minimal Physical Challenges:
Workers are not physically isolated from risks by administrative processes. They often include rules,
guidelines, and training—all of which may not really provide a physical barrier between the employee
and the risk.
Last Line of Defense:
After more effective controls further up the hierarchy have been examined and put in effect,
administrative controls are often considered as an alternative or additional solution.

Question 12: Describe 3 ways to reduce a health and safety risk.

1 Controls for engineering:

By changing the work environment or procedures, engineering controls can be

put in place to physically eliminate or minimize risks. This can involve putting in
machine guards to stop individuals from getting into contact with moving parts,
establishing ventilation systems that minimize exposure to dangerous materials,
or implementing ergonomic design techniques to minimize the risk of
musculoskeletal injuries. Risk to health and safety is reduced overall whenever
engineering solutions are implemented to address the hazard at its source.

RTO ID: 40268 CRICOS ID: 02915G
 2 Education and Training:

Addressing health and safety hazards can be handled by providing workers

thorough training and education on safe work practices. It includes providing
training for team members regarding how to handle materials, operate
equipment, and comply with set safety procedures. Workers with a greater
understanding are better able to identify hazards, handle emergencies, and
contribute to recognize hazards, handle crises, and promote a safe work
environment.
3 Equipment for personal protection (PPE):

Although PPE falls lower on the hierarchy of controls, it is still very important for
reducing risks to health and safety, especially in situations where other controls
are impractical. By providing employees the proper PPE, such as safety
helmets, gloves, eye protection, or respiratory apparatuses, employers may
minimize dangers. For best effectiveness, PPE should be used in conjunction
with higher-level controls, so it's important to keep in mind this.

Question 13: What engineering control can be implemented to mitigate the risks associated with dust in a confined
space?

LEV systems, or local exhaust ventilation:

One technical solution that works effectively for controlling dust in small spaces is the installation of
local exhaust ventilation systems. In order to stop airborne pollutants from spreading into the
surrounding air, LEV systems collect and eliminate them at the source. This is particularly useful
when operating equipment or doing operations that produce dust.
Limitations and Divides:
Dust particles can be maintained contained in a small area by establishing physical enclosures or
barriers around machinery or processes that produce dust. By doing this, the risk of exposure is
decreased overall and the dust can be prevented from transferring to other places. Transparent
screens or barriers that allow visibility while providing protection are examples of such enclosures.
Systems to Suppress Dust:
Using water or other agents to minimize dust generation and distribution is known as dust
suppression system implementation. To bind dust particles, for example, misting systems can be
employed that make them heavier and less willing to fly. For tasks like drilling, grinding, or cutting,
this approach is particularly helpful.
Substitution of Materials:
Substitute materials as much as possible with less harmful or dust-producing ones. A safer working
environment can be established by utilizing substitute materials or procedures which generate less
airborne particles. In the Hierarchy of Control, this is in line with a substitute control measure.

 Question 14: If a risk to health and safety still remains after the implementation of engineering controls, what further risk
control measures, according to the hierarchy of control, should be implemented?

The steps of control should be followed when implementing additional risk control measures if a risk
to health and safety remains after engineering controls have been placed into action. Administrative
controls are the next level of control measures, ranked by effectiveness. These steps focused on
altering procedures and work practices to reduce risk. Administrative controls include, for example:
Education and Training:
providing thorough training to employees concerning suitable protocols, safe work practices, and the
risks associated with their jobs. Workers with additional training are more likely to comply to safety
standards and lower the risk of accidents.
Policies and Procedures in the Workplace:
Establishing and adhering to explicit safety-related workplace policies and procedures. This includes
policies for determining when to wear personal protective equipment (PPE), in addition to work
schedules, breaks, and emergency procedures.
Task Variation and Job Rotation:
introducing job rotation or allocating different responsibilities to employees can help minimize
extended exposure to particular risks. This approach encourages a more balanced effort while
helping in the prevention of overexertion and repetitive strain injuries.
Warning Systems and Signage:
Set up warning systems and noticeable signage to inform employees of these hazards. Proper sign
might increase awareness in specific areas of the workplace and act as a reminder of security
protocols.

Question 15: How can the hazards associated with powered mobile plant be isolated?

Physical Hindrances:
To prevent workers and pedestrians from getting in the way of the powered mobile plant, install
physical barriers as guardrails, bollards, or fencing. Through doing so, overall safety improves and
accidental accidents are minimized.
Zones Designated for Traffic:
Designate particular regions for automated mobile plant movement that are effectively suggested
with signs. Mark safe routes and situations where mobile plant operations are prohibited with floor
tape, signs, or road markings.
Plans for managing traffic:
Develop and implement thorough traffic management plans that include regulations for powered
mobile equipment's safe movement throughout the construction site. Establishing the communication
protocols, speed restrictions, and traffic flow are all a component of it.

RTO ID: 40268 CRICOS ID: 02915G
 Spotter and walkie-talkie application:
To assist mobile plant operators and other workers communicate, designate a skilled spotter or use
walkie-talkies. This reduces the possibility of accidents by ensuring that everyone is informed of the
movements of the plant.
Automated Alerting Systems:
Install alerting devices on powered mobile plants, such as proximity sensors, flashing lights, or loud
alarms. By informing adjacent workers and people passing by of the plant's movement, this
equipment adds an additional level of security.

 Question 16: Provide 3 examples of administrative control measures.

1 Policies and Procedures in the Workplace:

Develop and distribute clear workplace policies and procedures that set out
precise regulations as well as suggestions for safe work practices. This includes
general health and safety compliance, emergency response processes, and
equipment use protocols.
2 Programs for Education and Training:

Ensure that employees are knowledgeable of potential risks, safe work

practices, and emergency procedures by conducting frequent training and
education sessions. This includes on-going refresher courses, in-person training
sessions for new hires, and specific to the task training.
3 Systems of Permit-to-Work:

Set into operation permit-to-work mechanisms which require official

authorization prior to the beginning of specific high-risk projects or activities.
Accident risk decreases since this administrative control provides that only
authorized and trained workers do potentially dangerous tasks.

Question 17: How would you go about making a generic SWMS site specific?

Assessment:
Perform an in-depth site assessment to identify specific risks and situations.
Task Evaluation:
Divide the work into manageable parts and determine the particular risks involved in each.
Identification of Hazards:
Identify any site-specific risks that are not addressed by the overall SWMS.
Control Strategies:
Develop specialized control methods for dealing with threats specific to the site.
Emergency Reaction:
Customize the emergency response strategy to the specifics of the location.
Interaction:
Notify relevant staff members in a clear and concise manner about the site-specific SWMS.
Examine and Revise:
Review and update the SWMS regularly to account for modifications to the site's conditions.

 b. Why is it important to know the use and meaning of construction terminology used on construction work sites relevant
to identifying site hazards and selecting suitable risk control strategies?

Understanding construction terminology is necessary for efficient communication and provides an in-
depth knowledge of site-specific risks, which makes it less difficult to select the most effective
prevention strategies.

C. When preparing SWMSs, why is it important to consider types of construction methods and materials used in both
general hazards and high-risk construction work and risk factors inherent in their use and application

To be able to customize hazard identification and risk control strategies, it is essential to take
construction techniques and material types into consideration while developing SWMSs.
Understanding the different hazards presented by various building processes and materials ensures
thorough safety planning.

Question 21
a. Justify the reason behind consulting with relevant personal for developing a JSA and a SWMS. Why is it
important to have a separate JSA and SWMS for different tasks?

Developing a JSA and a SWMS involves consultation with relevant individuals since it takes into
consideration a variety of viewpoints, experiences, and areas of expertise. The identification of
potential risks and the effectiveness of risk control techniques are improved by collaborative input. It
is important to have distinct JSAs and SWMSs for each work since they enable task-specific
considerations, ensuring that the safety documentation is customized to the specific hazards
associated with each activity.

b. Describe the importance of revising a JSA and SWMS prior to starting work, identifying changed conditions and
where appropriate, amending the JSA to reflect changed hazards and risk control strategies?

Before commencing work, it is essential that you update a JSA and SWMS to make ensure the
safety documentation is still applicable and useful for addressing the hazards and conditions that
exist today. It is necessary to update the JSA and SWMS because alterations to the work
environment or scope may bring new risks or change existing ones. The following aspects are
addressed by recognizing altered circumstances and making modifications to the documents:

Risk Currency: Provides that risk evaluations use the most up-to-date and precise data concerning
the materials, processes, and work environment

Adaptability: Allows the implementation of new control strategies or adjustments to present ones,
ensuring they suit with the circumstances of the work at hand.

Compliance: By maintaining safety documentation updated with the evolving character of the
action, it assists in maintaining compliance with safety regulations and standards.
