Session 4 - OMG someone is injured

Glenys Jones, a colleague who has been employed by the Misty River Regional Library Service for over 10 years, has just fallen over a pile of books that someone left too close to the storeroom door. It appears that she has sprained her ankle badly and will need complete rest for a week, and then light duties for another week.

You are the safety officer for the library - WHAT DO YOU DO?

Please document the procedure for reporting this incident.

Session 3 - Risk Analysis

Read the document from workcover on completing a risk analysis for workplace safety and complete the sheet on page 20. This can be done individually or as a group.

The chosen workplace was the Cranbourne campus, but if you were not able to attend the class, you may visit any workplace and complete the worksheet.
