TASK 1: WORKPLACE RISK ASSESSMENT

Use this checklist to assist you when completing routine workplace inspections of your environment. Carrying out regular workplace inspections is one way to
identify workplace hazards. Apply the Hierarchy of Hazard Control to address safety issues and implement the best measure possible for your situation.

Date of inspection 22/02/2019 Time of inspection 1000

Area inspected General ward Department/ location General Public Hospital

Inspected by Nu Minh Tam Duong (student enrolled nurse)

Hazard code 5 = SERIOUS: Could result in death, permanent disability, or irreversible damages that violate law or regulations.
4 = MAJOR: Could result in permanent partial disability, injuries or occupational illness resulting in hospitalisation of at least 3
personnel, or reversible damage causing a injuries or occupational illness.
3 = MODERATE: Could result in injury or occupational illness resulting in one or more lost work days, or damage without
violation of law or regulation where restoration activities can be accomplished.
2 = MINOR: Could result in injury or illness not resulting in a lost workday. Does not violate law or regulation. The effect of
such changes is easily recoverable or self-recovering and there is no lasting damage.
1 = INSIGNIFICANT: Unlikely to cause injury or illness.

Hierarchy of hazard control

Hierarchy Control Measure Detail

1 Elimination Eliminate the risk by removing the hazard.

2 Substitution Substitute less hazardous materials, equipment, processes or substances.

Make structural changes to the work environment, work systems, tools or equipment to make them safer.
3 Engineering Controls Use mechanical aids or manual handling devices.
Enclose or isolate the hazard with guards or remote handling techniques.
Provide local or general exhaust ventilation.

SCENARIO
You are visiting head office for the day and you have just answered a call.
The caller is talking very quickly and the voice is muffled you catch the
words “bomb is set…”
You are speaking to a visitor in the reception area of an aged care facility
when you smell smoke. Your supervisor is out at the moment.
You have entered into a client’s home for their daily hygiene assistance.
Although Mr. Tibbins has limited mobility due to his shortness of breath and
requirement on oxygen he is normally a pleasant and co-operative client
who is currently undergoing some family stressors. Upon entering you find
that Mr. Tibbins is smoking a cigarette with his nasal prongs in and oxygen
on.
The young family of Mrs. Clare has come to visit her. The 3 year old
granddaughter has suddenly started complaining of feeling unwell and
vomited on the carpeted floor of the waiting room. The mother has taken
the child to the nearby bathroom to clean her up; the Mother informs you of
the accident as she rushes past.
You have arrived at Mr Jones house to attend to his personal care routine.
You have just made preparations in the bathroom for Mr Jones’ shower.
You return to the living room where Mr Jones is seated in his favourite chair
watching the morning news. You indicate to Mr Jones that it is time for his
shower – he reacts unexpectedly by yelling at you, waving his arms around
