5. What are some high-risk environments that risk minimisation needs to be considered? (Choose all answers that apply) A call centre Workplaces that use, manufacture hazardous substances Construction and demolition sites Timber harvesting sites Workplaces where hazardous processes may be used (e.g. abrasive blasting) General office environment Where heat is used as part of any process (e.g. moulding or casting, welding and cutting) Where people are required to work in any remote or isolated areas (e.g. agricultural, fishing or transport industry) Workplaces that provide assistance and care to highly dependent persons 6. The hierarchy of control includes elimination, substitution, isolation, engineering control, administrative control and personal protective equipment. Add an explanation for each element. Hierarchy Explanation

1. What is a general aim and principle of health and safety protection? All people are given the highest level of health and safety within a workplace Employ more bureaucrats Make things as difficult as possible Protection is only for workers that don’t know what they are doing

2. Section 17.20 Clauses 32 – 38 of the regulation prescribe a consistent process of risk man- agement. That process requires hazards to be identified and any risks arising from those hazards must then be eliminated so far as is reasonably practicable, or minimised so far as is reasonably practicable if it is not reasonably practicable to eliminate them. Any control of risks for that purpose is to be done in accordance with the hierarchy of control measures. True False 3. It is the job of the trained first aider to provide initial treatment to injured or ill workers; which is consistent with first aider’s level of training and competence. Where the treatment required is beyond a first aider’s level of competence, they should recommend that the worker seek medical assistance. True False 4. What factors need to be considered where workers work away from the workplace or in situations where the work performed is not in a building (e.g. vehicles, road works)? The type of work performed Access to communications (e.g. telephone) Whether the workers work alone or in groups All of the above answers are correct
