• Discuss how the following are used when developing monitoring reports and making recommendations for change:
• agendas for and minutes of meetings
• committee members
• consultation decisions and follow-up actions
• consultation processes
• diaries of meetings
• WHS information provided to personnel

• safe work practices

• Agendas for and minutes of meetings: These documents provide a record of what was discussed and decided upon during meetings. They can be used to track progress and identify areas where changes or improvements are needed.
• Committee members: The members of a monitoring committee can provide valuable input and expertise when developing reports and making recommendations for change. They can also serve as a resource for information and guidance.
• Consultation decisions and follow-up actions: Consultation with relevant parties can provide important insights into the effectiveness of risk controls and safe work practices. Decisions made and follow-up actions taken as a result of consultation can be used to inform recommendations for change.
• Consultation processes: The process of consultation itself can also be examined for areas of improvement. For example, if consultation is not leading to meaningful changes or if certain groups or individuals are not being effectively consulted, recommendations can be made to improve the process.
• Diaries of meetings: Keeping a diary of meetings can be useful for tracking progress over time and identifying patterns or trends. It can also help to identify areas where changes or improvements are needed.

Assessment criteria

For your performance to be deemed satisfactory in this assessment task, you must satisfactorily address all of the assessment criteria. If part of this task is not satisfactorily completed, you will be asked to complete further assessment to demonstrate competence.

Assessment Task 2:

Complete the following activities:

1. Carefully read the following scenario

You are to assume that you are the manager of a café or food business called the Blue Healer Café. You will make use of the Blue Healer Café documentation included in the student resources folder along with the WHS Policy and Procedures from the WHSMS of the training kitchen of your RTO for this assessment. As the manager, it is your responsibility to implement and monitor the work health and safety practices of the employees (your classmates).

• Review key documents from the WHSMS and set up folders

You now need to review some key documents as preparation for the next steps: WHS Action PlanThe relevant WHS Policy and Procedures for the kitchenWHS Administration PolicyThe evacuation plan including posters and signs Make the assumption that items 1,2 and 5 of the action plan have already been completed. Prepare to undertake action items 3, 4 and 6 of the action plan by preparing a briefing session for staff that will ensure these items are completed. Set up folder systems on your local drive on your computer as outlined in the WHS Administration Policy and add the relevant soft copy documents to this. You will be using this folder system throughout this assessment.    Answer Item 3: I will develop a factsheet on ergonomics and make it accessible to all kitchen staff within 3 working days. This will provide them with the necessary information and guidelines to maintain good posture and properly handle materials, thus reducing the risk of ergonomic hazards. Item 4: I will include the Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) Policy and Procedures in the new staff induction and ongoing staff training. I will also conduct a WHS briefing for new policies and use a questionnaire to ensure all staff are aware of their responsibilities under the WHS Policy and Procedures. This will be done within 14 working days to ensure that all new and current employees are aware of the policies in place to ensure their safety and well-being while at work. Additionally, I will use a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) to measure the effectiveness of this training and to ensure that all staff are aware of their responsibilities under the WHS Policy and Procedures. Item 6: I will instruct all staff on how to use a Hazard Inspection Checklist (HIC), which includes a risk assessment. The HIC will be used as a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for the safety of the café. I will conduct regular meetings and presentations preceded by the HIC being filled out and will report to Human Resources (HR) regarding the Hazard Inspection Checklist (HIC) within 7 working days. This will help in identifying and addressing any hazards or potential hazards in the café, ensuring a safe working environment for all employees. Item 7: I will conduct regular meetings and presentations using the Hazard Inspection Checklist (HIC) that was previously filled out by the staff to minimize or avoid hazards and other workplace health and safety (WHS) issues in the café. These meetings will be held within 4 working days to ensure that any hazards or potential hazards are identified and addressed in a timely manner. This will help to maintain a safe working environment for all employees and ensure compliance with relevant WHS regulations.

• Develop WHS informative handouts for staff

	You are required to develop three health and safety information handouts, which are to be provided to, and discussed with, your team at a WHS briefing.
