2. Hazard and Risk - Definitions
see also http://www.unimelb.edu.au/ehsm/3.html
Purpose
To establish a strategy whereby records support hazard identification, control.
Definitions
Hazard: Anything that has the potential to cause injury or illness or damage to plant or property. A hazard can be related to a physical state, a work practice or a procedure. A hazard can be inadvertently introduced when implementing changes to existing arrangements.
Hazard Identification: The process of identifying all situations or events that could give rise to the potential for injury, illness or damage to plant or property.
Risk: The likelihood of injury, illness or damage to plant or property arising from exposure to any hazard.
Risk assessment: The process of determining the likely occurrence of an injury, illness or damage to plant or property.
Hazard Control: The process of implementing measures to reduce the risk associated with a hazard. The control process must follow the control hierarchy, in order, as prescribed below. It is always important that any control measure does not introduce new hazards, and that ongoing effectiveness of the control is monitored.
Hierarchy of Control:
1. Elimination of the hazard.
2. Substitution e.g. of the equipment or substance.
3. Isolation e.g. distance or enclosure
4. Engineering controls e.g. guarding
5. Administrative controls e.g. supervision, training, rotation or
signage
6. Personal protective equipment (PPE)
Note: Provision of protective equipment should always be the last control option considered. A combination of controls may be appropriate however the combination must be based on the control hierarchy
2.1 Injuries, Accidents, Hazards and Risk - Reporting, Investigation and Analysis
University Procedure
The Faculty of Music conducts hazard identification assessment and control in accordance with the hierarchy of controls as outlined in the University’s EHS Manual. The procedure is located at: http://www.unimelb.edu.au/ehsm/3.html#3.2.
Extreme-high risks should be reported to the HSR and General Manger, even if immediately controlled.
Faculty Procedure: Removal of unsafe equipment from use
The Faculty of Music has no equipment that can be identified as 'Plant.'
Should any staff identify any piece of equipment that is deemed to be
unsafe to use, then a yellow "DO NOT USE" tag (with name of
reporting staff member and the date) must immediately be attached to the
equipment. The faulty equipment must then be reported to the
Technical staff, who will remove it for repairs or disposal.
Regular Workplace Inspections
Schedule of workplace inspections
The Faculty of Music requires that all workplaces be inspected every six months by the General Manager and HSR of the workplace. The Health and Safety Representative (HSR) and the General Manger will attend workplace inspections when requested by a staff member to do so. In addition, workplace inspections will be conducted at any time at the request of a staff member.
Workplace Inspection Checklist
The Office and Workstation Inspection Checklist must be used to record the results of inspections and the corrective actions. Copies of the regular workplace inspections will be kept in a folder and made acessable to staff on request.
A copy of the current Workplace Inspection Checklist used in the University is available at: http://www.unimelb.edu.au/ehsm/Wrk_chklst2.pdf
A copy of the keyboard workstation assessment form used by the University is available at: http://www.unimelb.edu.au/ehsm/A.htm#A.14

5.2 OHS Training Plan
The Faculty’s Environmental health and safety training plan aims to progressively build our capability to effectively address health and safety responsibilities.The HSR is responsible for maintaining adequate coverage through training activity according to overall Faculty targets.
The Faculty's OHS Training Plan is located here.
see also http://www.unimelb.edu.au/ehsm/2.html#2.5.
The training plan targets:
First Aid
One or more Faculty will staff hold a Level 1 First Aid certificate.
Training will be provided for attainment of level 2 First Aid Certicates.
The HSR is responsible for monitoring first aid coverage on the floors
they occupy and for ensuring that if the numbers of trained first aiders
with current certificates falls below target levels that action is taken
to secure appropriate coverage. Target levels are a minimum.
Risk Management
Risk management is fundamental to good health and safety practice.
Training in risk management is essential for effective control of identified
risks. In addition, the completion of Risk Assessment Records should involve
a person trained in risk management.
Target coverage for risk management training is 40% of staff by May 2003. Particular emphasis will be given to training for supervisory staff.
The Faculty will be responsible for meeting targets.
Enrolment of staff in University conducted risk management training programs will be the normal means of extending and maintaining coverage. However, from time to time the Faculty will arrange for courses to be conducted specifically for Faculty staff in order to enhance coverage.
Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) for the Office
While increasing levels of coverage in risk management is a priority concern, it is also important to introduce staff (particularly supervisory staff) to their broad health and safety responsibilities, such as ensuring that their staff are working in an ergonomically safe manner.
From time to time the Faculty will arrange for courses to be conducted specifically for Faculty staff in order to enhance coverage. Once target levels for risk management training are achieved by 2003 the Faculty can shift its focus to expanding its training effort in this area.
Tracking coverage
In July and December of each year the HSR will assess coverage against targets and plan to address any shortfalls in the following year.
Responsibilities:
General Manger:
- to ensure adequate resources for training are made available.
-
to ensure appropriate recruitment methods are adopted.
HSR/Supervisors:
- to maintain copies of current first aid certificates.
-
to facilitate staff training
All staff members:
-
to undertake training as directed

5.3 Emergency Procedures
The Faculty of Music follows the University’s Emergency Procedures which are detailed in the University’s Environmental Health and Safety Manual. The full list of procedures is located at: www.unimelb.edu.au/ehsm/6.html. If you are a member of a Building Emergency team, you are encouraged to read the detailed information about:
The Faculty of Music recognises that Building Emergency Teams fulfil an important role in ensuring the health and safety of staff and students. For that reason, the Faculty has specifically committed itself to the following:
1. Ensuring the role of Building Emergency Controller (BEC) is filled. Where the position of BEC falls vacant the relevant building is expected to respond to the need to fill that position as quickly as possible as a safeguard for all staff and students occupying the building.
In most instances a BEC vacancy will be known before that person leaves the role. It is expected that a new BEC will be identified before the role falls vacant and that a handover to the new BEC is arranged.
2. Supporting the Building Emergency Controller (BEC): The Faculty is required to provide active support to the BEC in her/his carriage of the duties outlined in the University’s procedures.
Specific support is required as follows: Floor wardens on each floor will support the BEC. If a floor Warden possition is about to fall vacant the Faculty will appoint a new one. Again, the expectation is that the role will be filled before it is vacated. The BEC is entitled to expect full co-operation from floor wardens in maintaining the currency of emergency procedures information on Safety noticeboards located on any floor occupied by Faculty staff.
Emergency procedure information on the Safety noticeboard should be checked at least quarterly by the EHR to ensure currency of information. Necessary changes identified from these routine checks must be notified to the BEC before they are made. Updating requested by the BEC will be acted upon immediately by the floor contact person. Students will be imformed of Emergency Proceedures at the 1st Concert Class of the year.
2.4 The BEC is entitled to expect full co-operation from all staff when an emergency evacuation drill occurs. Drills are required at least once per year. All staff, irrespective of inconvenience to their immediate activities, are required to evacuate the building and no exceptions are acceptable.
This point will be emphasised to all staff once per year in an all staff e-mail.
5.4 First Aid
Section 8.4.2 of the University’s Environment Health and Safety Manual outline the requirements, which the Fauclty must meet in providing First Aid facilities. This section is located at: http://www.unimelb.edu.au/ehsm/8.html#8.4.2.
Appropriate contents of first aid kits are outlined in section 8.4.2.6 of the Manual.
5.5 Issue Resolution Procedure
The Issue Resolution Procedure adopted by the Faculty mirrors the procedure set down in the University’s Environment Health and Safety Manual. The Procedure follows the steps set down below.
Step 1 The elected Health and Safety Representative/Employee identifies a safety issue or problem in his/her designated work group.
Step 2 The Health and Safety Representative/Employee brings the matter to the attention of the Employer Safety Representtive by the use of an 'Incident Report Form (S3)'. The representative may have sought the prior advice of the Risk Management Office (RMO) in doing this. The supervisor of the work area may also seek advice from the RMO upon receipt of the Incident Report Form (S3).
Step 3 If, within 5 working days or less, the supervisor and representative can reach agreement on the means to deal with the concerns raised, the matter is then regarded as satisfactorily resolved at the local level. Satisfactory resolution would include immediate settlement of this and any related concerns as well as an agreed plan and timetable for future action if immediate action is not possible.
Step 4 If, however, the representative and the supervisor cannot satisfactorily resolve the issue at the local level and the representative believes that the issue should be pursued, the representative should refer the issue involved to the General Manger At this stage, the Health and Safety Representative should formally advise the RMO.
Step 5 The General Manger, representative and a member of RMO then engage in an attempt to reach agreement in a satisfactory resolution of the issue within 5 working days. Satisfactory resolution includes immediate settlement or an agreed plan of future action.
Step 6 If no satisfactory resolution can be reached at Step 5 that resolves the issue, then the Health and Safety Representative should further investigate the issuance of a formal Provisional Improvement Notice as defined in OHS Act section 33.
Step 7 The employee(s) are to be informed of the agreed corrective action and timeframe.
Further information about the Issue resolution procedure is available at this location: http://www.unimelb.edu.au/ehsm/h.html#4.1.
