Information for learners

This paper includes activities that:

You must carry out in your chosen workplace;

require you to reflect on your practices.

Typically, the chosen workplace will be the workplace in which you normally work. However, if your

workplace is not suitable $($for example it does not provide sufficient scope$),$ you can choose any

suitable workplace, provided you can access the information you need to complete the activities in

this part.

The reflective practice activity$($s$)$ aim is for you to reflect on transferable leadership and$/$or

professional skills that you may already have and$/$or need to develop. These skills could have been

acquired through your work life $($whether in health and safety or some other work activities$)$ or your

personal life.

For instance, you may want to draw on examples where you have been chairing a meeting, or being

required to make decisions under pressure. Alternatively, you may carry out voluntary work and want

to draw on this for your examples. The examples can be from any element of your working or

personal life.

Workplace$-$based activities

Activity $1$: Create an organisation risk profile of your chosen organisation

This section is very important. It describes the main risks that your organisation faces. The

answers you give to the remaining activities in this paper must be consistent with the

information you provide here $($unless otherwise stated$).$ For example, if the risks that you give

here relate to the banking or insurance sectors$,$ it would be unusual to later describe a situation

where welding contractors are repairing a chemical storage tank in your own organisation.

$1$ The British Health and Safely Executive $($HSE$)$ has identified risk profiling as a

core element for managing health and safety in their guidance document

Managing for Heaith and Safety' $($HSG$65).$

Produce a risk profile of your chosen organisation that outlines FOUR

significant risks.

Note: You must use the Activity I format table provided in the answer sheet

to record your answers.
