• How is OHS monitored/assessed in the workplace?
• What type of OHS health program exists, the strategy, structure, scope, and target?
• Who is responsible for and involved in the planning, initial identification and control of risks to health, and what are the environmental issues?
• The organisations accident/incident registers of injuries/near misses?
• Communication processes – are they effective?
• What type of OHS training, coaching, mentoring carried out?
• Who has the authority to take action and made decisions (do they?)?
• What roles does the OHS Committee/representative play?
• What are the main health risks in the organisation?
• Include ABS, WorkCover Workers Compensation Statistics and other statistical data to substantiate your findings and compare your statistics to industry trends.
• In your report analyse and critique your findings and summarise.
Approximately 1,000-1,500 words.
Part 2: Health Program Project
(Weighting 50%)
a. For students in a workplace
You are required to evaluate and revise a specific workplace’s Health Program (policies and procedures) to ensure there is no risk to employees’ health and well-being. You can use the same workplace as in Part 1, or another organisation.

• OHS policy and procedure, codes of practice, standards, guidelines.
• Legislative compliance (all States, if applicable).
• Consultation and communication, to promote Health Program.
• Target groups and stakeholders.
• OHS change management program.
• Privacy, confidentiality and ethical issues.
• OHS training and development, coaching, mentoring.
b. For students with no workplace
Choose a particular industrial health hazard (your facilitator/teacher should confirm you have made an appropriate choice). You are required to develop a workplace Health Program (policies and procedures) to ensure there is no risk to employees’ health and well-being from this hazard. (Program def: “a set of detailed steps that explain how OHS is to be implemented”, CCH, 2006:78).
You will need to cover:
• OHS policy and procedure, codes of practice, standards, guidelines.
• Legislative compliance (all States, if applicable).
