ORDER NOW FOR AN ORIGINAL PAPER ASSIGNMENT: WHS Incident Consultant Assignment
GENS5013/AVIA3013 Group Assignment Brief S2, 2018
Background:
Your group is a team of consultants preparing information for business operators to help
them learn from investigated WHS incidents. To do this, you will need to choose and
showcase an important WHS scenario (accident, near hit or situation resulting in
injury/disease) and highlight what could have been done differently in order to have
prevented the negative outcome(s).
The task:
Research a particular Australian workplace safety scenario (an incident, near hit, situation
resulting in injury/disease or fatality etc) as a group. An example might be the “pink batts”
scheme which resulted several fatalities and a Royal Commission. Ensure that you choose a
scenario for which there are multiple sources of information (ie. Not just news reports).
Briefly describe what happened in the scenario and why you chose it. (What makes it
interesting, important or significant in relation to data on injury or exposure, and its
outcomes and implications for business?)
Analyse the work system to understand and identify the factors that contributed to the
scenario using frameworks from theory/literature.
Outline what should be done systemically by all relevant stakeholders in the future to
ensure it does not happen again.
Note:
1. All scenarios chosen should include a significant contribution to the scenario by the
workplace environment (physical and/or psychological), work organisation and /or
equipment. If you choose an aviation incident (such as a crash or runway excursion)
then you need to remember to look at the issue from a WHS perspective, rather
than an operational perspective.
2. Information about the chosen scenario should be publically available. For example,
you might find information about the scenario from a range of sources, including
legal report/prosecution summaries, media coverage, case study reports,
investigation reports, royal commissions, public inquiries, coroner’s reports, or
various organisational websites etc. You will need to consult a range of sources.
3. You will need to refer to the research literature, relevant guidance material and
legislation in formulating your response.
Report format:
Develop a set of powerpoint slides (Maximum 20 slides, in Size 20 font) which responds to
the task above
References should be provided on additional slides (ie. the reference list will not be counted
in the 20 slides). References must still be provided in the text of your assignment. Notes on
the slides (ie material that is not on the slides) will not be considered when marking the
assignment).
Assessment criteria:
High marks will be awarded to assignments that
• Appropriately address all parts of the task
• Use theory, statistics and other source materials appropriately
• Demonstrate critical analysis of scenarios and control strategies, and application of
core concepts from the course
• Demonstrate integration of group members’ work
• Clearly and effectively present information and ideas
• Appropriately acknowledge source material
