Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Understand the importance of effective communication.
(Introductory Paragraph)
Being able to identify hazards is crucial in ensuring tasks are carried out safely.
Your past experience in the workplace may help you to identify some hazards, but
remember to also use the skills and knowledge of those around you to help. Identifying
hazards and controlling risk must be done continuously as new work processes, tasks,
equipment and workers come into the workplace. Part of this process may be to ask your
employer to employ or engage a suitably qualified occupational health and safety
professional to come into the workplace to provide advice on health and safety.
(Body)
Hazard:
Anything (e.g. condition, situation, practice, behaviour) that has the potential to
cause harm, including injury, disease, death, environmental, property and
equipment damage. A hazard can be a thing or a situation.
anything that could hurt you or someone else.
Hazard Identification:
This is the process of examining each work area and work task for the purpose of
identifying all the hazards which are “inherent in the job”. Work areas include but
are not limited to machine workshops, laboratories, office areas, agricultural and
horticultural environments, stores and transport, maintenance and grounds,
reprographics, and lecture theatres and teaching spaces. Tasks can include (but
may not be limited to) using screen based equipment, audio and visual equipment,
industrial equipment, hazardous substances and/or teaching/dealing with people,
driving a vehicle, dealing with emergency situations, construction. This process is
about finding what could cause harm in work task or area.
Risk:
The likelihood, or possibility, that harm (injury, illness, death, damage etc) may
occur from exposure to a hazard.
Risk Assessment:
(Identification): (Instruction)
1. Anything that has the potential to cause harm, including injury, disease, death,
environmental, property and equipment damage. A hazard can be a thing or a
situation.
2. Is defined as the process of assessing the risks associated with each of the hazards
identified so the nature of the risk can be understood.
3. A hierarchy of controls has been developed and is described below to assist in
selection of the most appropriate risk control measure/s.
4. Examples include cleaning solutions and solvents, vapors and fumes, carbon
monoxide and any other gases.
5. Examples include cleaning solutions and solvents, vapors and fumes, carbon
monoxide and any other gases.

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Understand about safety consciousness.
(Introductory Paragraph)
Safety Consciousness
We all know that safety consciousness is the most potent factor in the prevention of
accidents. Safety consciousness may be defined as awareness of hazards and alertness to
danger. This has a strong influence on the actions of an individual because of his desire to
remain alive and uninjured. We need to develop safety consciousness and Make Safety a
Value.
(Body)
2. Make, revise and utilize Job Safety Analysis for tasks to be done.
3. Perform our own work in such a way that will not create or leave hazards which
may cause accidents involving other employees.
4. Obtain training in first aid and become thoroughly familiar with knowing how to
give artificial respiration.

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Understand the different OHS Indicator.
(Introductory Paragraph)
Traditionally, predictions about a workplace's ongoing Occupational
Health Safety (OHS) have been made based on that organisation's past
safety track records. New research suggests that more effective predictions
can be made if the focus is on the active steps a workplace takes to prevent
future OHS incidents.

(Introductory Paragraph)
There are various types of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) that are suitable for
different working environments. Therefore, even if you’ve been wearing PPE as part of your
job role for years, you may not be aware of all the available types of PPE and what it is
used for.
(Body)
Types of personal protective equipment
PPE can be considered in the following categories, based on the type of
protection afforded by the equipment:
the needs for PPE are assessed by a person who is competent to judge
whether other methods of risk control can offer better protection of safety
and health than the provision of PPE
professional advice is obtained, where necessary, to identify the most
suitable types of PPE for the tasks to be carried out
training is provided to supervisors and employees to enable them to
ensure the proper selection, fit, use, cleaning and maintenance of PPE
supervision and enforcement of the PPE policy is undertaken
evaluation of the effectiveness of the PPE program is carried out on a
regular basis
suitable PPE is provided for visitors who may be exposed to hazards
in the workplace. At UWA this includes students where appropriate.
Equipment shall be properly cleaned before re-issue
all equipment complies with current relevant Australian Standards
and should be stamped or labelled with an AS compliance marking.
Existing PPE shall be re-assessed regularly to ensure compliance.
