Part 3: Prioritise 3 actions with justification for the selection
Suggested word counts
Moral, general legal and financial arguments for all actions: 300 to 350 words
For EACH action:
Specific legal arguments: 100 to 150 words
Likelihood AND severity: 75 to 150 words
How effective the action is likely to be in controlling the risk: 100 to 150 words

Moral, general legal and financial arguments for ALL actions

Moral, general legal and financial Moral argument.

arguments The main and moral responsibility of the company is that to ensure the health and safety of the workers
organization duty of care must be shown by the company if the company wants the health and safety of the
workers the workers who come to work with they are the source and support of the food and shelter of their
families and dependent if the worker injured not only the worker effected but infact all his dependents effected
if there is unsafe physical and mental condition for the workers in a company it will not only be unacceptable
for the workers but the society as a whole
The unsafe physical and mental condition may lead to an accident to overcome all these things the employer
may ensure his prime responsibility regarding workers health and safety
Legal orgument.

Along with moral responsibilities the company may follow all the national and international rules regulations
and may work according to the legislation ILO general rules and regulations bound the employer of each
company to ensure the safety of the workers
If any of the employer failed to fulfill these legal duties then strict actions can be taken against him if company
Will break the law then prohibition notice may issue against it corrective action may also be taken apart from
this a court prosecution may be started against the employer or the related person may be hugely fine or May
be imprisoned or the company may be closed if the results will be catastrophic
Along with catastrophic result the injured workers may claim for civil compensation and that will also be pay
by the employer and there will be also Court proceeding of the donor of the civil claim and productive time of
the organization will also be lost during court proceedings the bad reputation of the organization may severely
effected the future business of the organization

Learner number: Learner name: Page 12 of 16

 Financial Argument

After accident the company faced financial loss the amount which spend by the company prior to avoid
accident if this amount has been utilized to prevent the accident than the financial loss will be not that much
as occur after accident after an accident the company also face the hospitalisation and treatment cost along
with this the repair cost of the damage machineries and equipment the hiring cost of the new workers legal
proceedings and court prosecution cost and apart from this the over time cost are also face by the company
after accident the company reputation may also be effected due to which the company can face problems in
business gaining in future the morale of the workers maybe down and which can cause less productiveness,
the industrial relations of the company may be effected and ultimately these all factor's will play a role in the
financial loss of the company the injured workers may claim for the live compensation which can results in
legal proceedings and a financial cost also All these expenditures will only be face by the company as the
company has made no insurance OR the hospital cost and equipment repair cost may received to company
from insurance but due to it the insurance premiums chances may increase
