Task $2$

Design a Safe Work Practices document for a high$-$risk construction activity of your choice, ensuring it aligns with occupational health and safety $($OHS$)$ principles. Your document should clearly integrate the key components of an effective OHS program, explaining how hazard assessments, worker training, emergency procedures, and regulatory compliance apply to the selected activity. Identify potential hazards related to the activity, such as risks associated with welding, excavation, contaminated waste sites, or underground and overhead utilities. Outline specific control measures to mitigate these hazards, ensuring worker safety and adherence to legal requirements.

Additionally, describe the necessary traffic safety control measures that must be implemented on$-$site to prevent accidents involving vehicles, heavy machinery, and pedestrian movement. Develop a structured emergency response plan detailing how incidents, near$-$misses, and exposure to hazardous materials should be reported and managed. Include relevant regulatory resources and guidelines that workers must follow to maintain compliance with construction safety laws. Finally, propose strategies for implementing and evaluating the effectiveness of your Safe Work Practices document. Describe how worker compliance will be monitored, what training methods will be used, and how regular safety audits will ensure continuous improvement. Justify your approach by explaining how your document will enhance workplace safety.
