2 tasks – first complete the report and then complete the document titled self assessment – use the examples provided for the format.
must use Victorian (Australia) OHS legislation – photos and site information will be provided – the original report will be uploaded this is to be amended as per there comments and the assignment instructions:

Your report needs to be written up as a professional discussion of the information you have obtained from your site visits, rather than a series of dot point lists, and you need to clearly explain the significance of the risk issues to your particular site. The draft you have submitted seems to largely contain copies of the site safety policies and generic information, rather than detailed discussions around the site specific safety issues. There is a fair amount of work required for you to get this written up correctly. Include a site photo and the name of the project you have reviewed on the cover page. Include an Executive Summary at the start of your report. Place your photos in the body of the report to support your discussion and properly label them. Proof read before the final submission, and make sure you check your work off against the Learning Outcomes for the Self Assessment.

Background

Construction sites, by their very nature, contain a considerable number of risks and hazards. This is one of the reasons why Worksafe Victoria and the other state and territory authorities allocate a considerable amount of resources to this industry segment.

Construction companies are required to have in place, an overall Health & Safety Management Plan covering all their employees. This plan must spell out the overall philosophy of the company towards the health and wellbeing of their staff, and outline how the company will achieve their stated Occupational Health & Safety objectives.

In a typical manufacturing workplace environment, the OH&S issues are generally the same from day to day as the tasks are repetitive, and in a controlled environment. But with construction sites this is not the case. The wide range of tasks undertaken by workers on a construction site is quite diverse, and therefore requires more careful and constant safety evaluation. Each construction site also poses a uniquely different set of risks and hazards, through factors such as their location, their surrounds, and the particular environmental conditions that exist at the time.

Therefore safety needs for construction workers must be evaluated and dealt with on a project by project basis, and often on a day-to-day basis, as circumstances change.

Your assessment task is to select an operating construction site to use as the basis of an Occupational Health & Safety research report. The site should preferably be a commercial or industrial site, but a multi-unit residential site is also acceptable. A single house or dual occupancy site will not provide a suitable basis for this task. The site you select can be one that you work with or have access to, or pass regularly on your daily travel. But it is important that you can observe activities on the site on a regular basis.

NOTE- It  is very important that you find your site within the first week of the trimester so that you can begin your observations.

You should include the background information on your selected project such as the type of building being constructed, the methods of construction being used, details of the builder, approximate cost of the project, and the likely construction duration. You will need to include a number of photographs of the project generally, as well as specific photographs to demonstrate particular safety issues. You should include a Site Plan showing the overall site or at least provide a sketch of the site layout.

For your chosen construction site you are required to:

a)    Identify the most significant project specific risks faced by the workers on this site, and reference these to the relevant controlling legislation and OHS principles.
b)    Identify at least two project specific risks that the public will be exposed to as a result of this project, and demonstrate how the “Duty of Care” to the public is being achieved.

c)    Establish a Site Induction check list specifically tailored to this particular site. This list should incorporate the key issues you have identified, along with the other more generic items, which need to be covered prior to anyone starting work on the site.

In order to understand the complexities of your particular site, you will need to make arrangements to visit and walk the site, in order to discuss the project in detail with either the Site Foreman, or the OH&S Representative. This will involve several site visits in order to understand the changing OH&S environment on the site.

Your formal submission is to be presented in the form of a professional written report which would be suitable to be read by the senior management of your company. As such the standard of presentation is very important. Make sure you carefully proof read your report before submitting it. Effective use of strategic photographs will help you to illustrate the risks faced by all people associated with your site, but make sure you get permission to take them.
