The below question are based on your workplace and the answers should be all relevant to the chosen workplace. The choice of workplace depends on you. chose an organization that you what to base your answers on e.g. logistics, manufacturing, construction, office work etc.

rity 2: Preparing a brief research report on monitoring and measuring tech Prepare a brief research report that - critically reviews techniques for monitoring and measuring health and safety performance - evaluates the effectiveness of your chosen organisation's health and safety monitoring and measuring techniques - makes TWO recommendations for improving the monitoring and measuring techniques used in your chosen organisation. Your research report must be presented in the following format (see marking descriptors for further information) - Executive summary. - Introduction - containing aims/objectives, methodology and introduction to the topic. - Critical review - which briefly, but critically, reviews techniques for monitoring and measuring health and safety performance. This must draw from a range of reliable reference sources such as authoritative guidance, expert opinions, and other evidence. References for the cited evidence should use a recognised referencing style (Harvard, Vancouver, OSCOLA, etc). The learner can choose which style to use, but the style must be used consistently throughout the report. - Brief analysis of the effectiveness of your chosen organisation's health and safety monitoring and measuring techniques. This is effectively a brief gap analysis or commentary comparing your organisation to good practice/effective insights that you have determined from your critical review. It should include examples from the workplace to support the analysis. - Conclusion - a summary of findings that includes - A clear outline of TWO recommendations for improving the monitoring and measuring techniques used in your chosen organisation. - A justification for EACH of your recommendations. The justifications must include links back to the research carried out in the introduction to show that they logically follow, and that they would most likely be effective. - List of Reference sources cited. 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 Produce a risk profile of your chosen organisation that outlines FOUR significant risks. (20) Note: You must use the Activity 1 format table to record your answers. Activity 6: Consultation process strengths and weaknesses 6 The British Health and Safety Executive's (HSE) guidance document 'Involving your workforce in health and safety' (HSG263) sets out four stages for successful consultation. Stage 3 is 'Get it done: consult and involve' which includes understanding: - health and safety consultation legal duties (including setting up health and safety committees) with reference to the International Labour Organisation's (ILO's) Occupational Safety and Health Convention (C155) and Recommendation (R164) - methods for involving the workforce. Comment on the strengths and weaknesses of your chosen organisation's consultation process for EACH of these two steps. Notes: You must support your answers with relevant examples from your chosen organisation. There are 10 marks available for each step. Activity 7: Health and safety culture evaluation and actions 7 (a) A range of indicators can be used to measure health and safety culture. Evaluate your chosen organisation's health and safety culture against the following FIVE indicators of a positive health and safety culture - visible commitment to safety by management - workforce participation and ownership of safety problems and solutions - trust between workers and management - good communications - a competent workforce. Note: You must give relevant examples to support your answers. (b) Based on the outcome of your analysis in 7(a), identify TWO actions that could improve or sustain health and safety culture in your chosen organisation. You must - give an outline of the action - describe what the action is intended to do (the anticipated outcomes). Notes: You must use the Activity 7(b) format table provided in the answer sheet to record your answers. vity 8: Suitability of approach in selecting risk control measures and selection of existing control measures Risk management in an organisation should be both sensible and proportionate to the level of risk involved. (a) Comment on the suitability of your chosen organisation's approach when selecting risk control measures. (10) Note: You must use relevant examples to support your answer. (b) Select TWO existing control measures for health and safety risks in your chosen organisation. For EACH of these control measures provide - an outline of the health and safety risk associated with the control measure - an outline of the control measure - commentary on the suitability of the control measure - your opinion on the proportionality of the control measure in relation to the level of risk - appropriate referencing for sources of information consulted. Note: There are 10 marks available for each control measure. Activity 3: Commenting on verbal and printed communication skills 3 Verbal and printed are types of media that can be used to communicate health and safety management issues to workers. Select a workplace issue where you have used both media types and, for EACH type, comment on - what the intention of the communication was - the selection of communication methods chosen - how the specific method of communication was used - how effective the communication was - lessons learned following the communication. (20) Note: You must give relevant examples to support your answers. This does not have to be a health and safety communication, but examples must be drawn from your work experience. Activity 4: Commenting on societal factors 4 Comment on how the following societal factors affect the management of health and safety in your chosen organisation - Economic climate - Industry risk profile - Government policy. Note: There are 5 marks available for each factor. Activity 5: Analysing strengths and weaknesses against high reliability organisation (HRO) characteristics and recommendations for improvement 5 (a) Analyse your chosen organisation's strengths and weaknesses against BOTH of the following HRO characteristics - mindful leadership - problem anticipation. (b) Based on your analysis in part (a). give details for TWO recommendations that improve reliability in your chosen organisation. You must justify why you have chosen each of the recommendations
