Risk and Safety Management
Order Description
Rationale
This assessment is intended to expose students to the knowledge and skills to undertake WH&S research, in particular how to manage risk according to the requirements of safety management principles: Owing to legislative requirements to manage risk, this knowledge generates particularly relevant workplace skills.
Task
Based on an evidentiary base from the study package material and other sources including the literature, the Internet and, if applicable, your workplace experience:
Provide an introduction which provides an overview of the content of the assignment (what you intend to argue).
If you were called on to implement a risk management approach to managing risks and to control hazards efficiently would you use a generic model like AS/NZS ISO 31000?
Alternatively would you use a more focused WH&S specific method such as those discussed in Module 7?.
Demonstrate why you have chosen the approach you have selected based on what you consider its positive and negative elements. If you are not basing your assignment on AS/NZS ISO 31000 you should discuss why you have not chosen it.
