| Accident Report You witness an accident to one of the suppliers earlier in the day and the HR Manager wants you to document the incident. As you were a witness to this accident complete an Accident/Incident Report Form that is in the General Stationery folder. You can fill it in by hand. The accident occurred at about 10:00 am in the morning involving one of our suppliers, Mr Barry Lister. Mr Lister tripped on loose carpet near your workstation and hit his head on a filing cabinet. All of Mr Lister’s details are listed in the Suppliers’ database. His date of birth is 10 January 1960. Mr Lister was taken by Janet Parker to the local medical centre in case he had concussion. Lyn Singh has rung Maintenance to make sure that the carpet is taped before being replaced so that no-one else will be injured. Sign the form when you have completed the details and leave it on Lyn's Desk. NEXT Look around the department and surrounding areas to identify any other potential physical hazards in the workplace, as we don’t want any more accidents. Talk to the other members of the department as they may have ideas on this. Look at the floor, electrical sockets, equipment, filing cabinets, workstations etc. Create a table that list the hazards you can identify and your suggested solutions - similar to the one below. Make sure you look at potential hazards such as filing cabinets, electrical cords, electrical sockets etc.
Save this table as hazards-yourinitials.doc in the OHS subfolder in the Human Resources Department folder. Finally Lyn wants to see how your understanding of OH&S issues in the workplace is progressing. Complete the New Employee Training Program Worksheet HR4b. The filename for this document is NETP-WorksheetHR4b.doc. Download and save this worksheet from the NETP Worksheets folder to your personal folder and follow the instructions given in the document. You will need to refer to the Policy and Procedures Manual, OH&S Policy and Procedures Manual and other OH&S materials. Proofread all work, and print off a copy of for Lyn to check. |
