Assessment 2 Part A Your task: Read the following case study and answer the questions for the provisions of health, safety and security procedures below. Case Study: Paul recently had completed a pre-vocational course in hospitality, kitchen operations. As he is keen to become a chef, his teacher had recommended that he should look for an establishment for the purpose of a two week work experience to gain true insights into what this profession means in industry. He had successfully contacted the local hotel which took him on immediately. Now, having completed his work experience last week, Paul is a little confused, as the knowledge he had gained when studying “Follow health, safety and security procedures” at his RTO didn’t seem to be in that workplace during the last fortnight. When Paul started with the establishment there was no induction and it seemed that all staff in the kitchen created their own standards. On the second day the head chef asked Paul to slice the leg ham. Paul noticed that there was no safety guard for the slicer, which would make it a breach to use this piece of equipment. When he pointed this out to the chef, he was told that these mechanisms slow things down and are professionals didn’t really need them. When the second chef used four milk crates to build a pedestal to clean the top of the exhaust fan he was told by the manager that this was an unsafe practice. The chef replied to the manager “I’ve got no time to waste – we’re already short of time as it is”. The manager left it at that. On the third day Paul was asked to clean the grill and the oven at the end of the night, however there were no provisions for Personal Protective Equipment in place. The head chef told Paul that all staff normally would wrap a damp serviette around their nose and wear their sunglasses ...“that always does the job”. The following day a waitress slipped on the wet floor near the pass and fell over backwards. She complained that there should have been a warning sign; however the head chef replied to her that she should come to work sober and use her eyes on the job. The next morning Paul was told to clean the store room in the basement to make room for the week’s large delivery. As he walked down the corridor he encountered two scruffy looking guys carrying two cartons of beer and some bottles of spirits. He reported this to the head chef, who replied that these were most probably delivery guys who fixed up the inconsistencies from the last delivery – who else could they be? He explained to Paul that all deliveries were stored away by the individual suppliers who only came upstairs for a signature once the job was done; .... “the master key for the storage areas usually hangs near the basement entry anyway, but usually no doors are locked as this is a hassle when everyone is busy”. During the last week Paul saw that the outside garbage area was engulfed in smoke. He ran into the kitchen and reported this immediately as he had never dealt with such an emergency before. The chefs on duty told him to grab a bucket of water and extinguish the hazard, as they were busy preparing for lunch. Paul was unsure and asked the manager to get some assistance. Being upset he asked the manager whether he could participate in the next WHS meeting to suggest some aspects for safety and procedural issues. The manager told him that he only needed to do what he is told, as the owners did not pay staff to engage in social meetings which only caused trouble anyway.

stated that: “Procedures and rules are best left to those people in an organisation who have the experience and the brains”. 1. What is the purpose of an induction program? Why would an induction program improve the health, safety and security practices of Paul’s new workplace? Purpose of an induction program The company is hosting a welcoming event for new hires in order to aid them in making the necessary changes. Workers adapting to the company, aiding the learning process, socialising, easing cultural differences, and informing the organization's full history, among other things, are all part of on-the-job training. Paul must begin his employment in a safe manner; the induction-training programme provides an excellent opportunity for managers to reduce the number of mistakes made by cooks and other staff. This is the best way to train new employees how to work in a safe and injury-free manner. This can also help the team perform better.

2. Identify at least 4 breaches of health safety and security requirements in the case study: Examples No PPE at the kitchen The floor was wet causing the waitress to slip No safety guard in the ham slicer Employees donot use stairs, instead they used 4 crates of milk

3. In this case study, when would safety warning signs be useful or a legal requirement? Examples A sign of PPE MANDATORY must be placed in entrance of the kitchen Staff must put a sign of CAUTION WET FLOOR when the floor is wet as this is a legal requirement. The extinguisher sign must be placed very clear to everyone in the kitchen

4. Identify 4 examples of management behaviour that may be considered inappropriate, a breach of requirements, or even bullying: Examples Chef spoke about the PPE that was unnecessary for that occasion and it was mandatory. John asked about the missing of PPE and Chef told him nothing constructive.

No signs for extinguisher for the garbage engulfed in smoke as the manager did anything constructive about it.

The master key was in an incorrect place to store and nobody was worried about it.

Building a pedestal to clean a fan is an unacceptable action. The manager did nothing about it.

5. What is wrong with the security procedures regarding stock control? How could they be improved? Problems

Improvements

The doors are always unlocked.

Always lock doors and the keys should be stored in the same place.

No security and control for supplies.

Security cameras should be installed in the stock.

6. What is wrong with the emergency procedures? How could they be improved? Problems There is no sign about where the extinguisher is.

Improvements The fire extinguisher sign is a MUST.

7. Why does Paul want to be involved in the meetings? What is the legal requirement for this? Reasons for Paul being involved in the meetings Paul wants to be involved in the meetings because he has seen a lot of inconsistencies in the kitchen. All about WHS that he had studied looks like nothing compared to the Chef’s experience. WHS procedures are a must and he knows how important it is to any kitchen. WHS procedures prevent people to be killed or injured in several industries, including the hospitality.

Duration from ... to...

Tasks to be completed What will be observed?

Fire/smoke detected

26/09/2021

10 am – 11 am

Press emergency button

Collateral needed: Emergency evacuation plan / poster Incident Description: You are alone in the break room / office and the fire alarm goes off. You will need to show you can follow the establishment’s emergency procedures and evacuation plan. You will then be presented with 3 unforeseen problems you will have to deal with. Following the evacuation procedure, you will need to answer short questions relating to the problems encountered during the evacuation. This can be used as the basis for an incident report. Demonstrate and explain how you will respond to the fire alarm.

Outside the break room you meet another employee who says “run, there’s a fire! I just need to grab my phone and I’ll meet you outside!” Demonstrate and explain how you will respond and what you will say to the employee.

As you are heading towards the emergency exit in the corridor, you notice 3 chairs and a desk are partially blocking the emergency exit door. You know that one of your colleagues is in a wheelchair and they may not have yet left the building. Demonstrate and explain how you would act.

In another hallway on the way to the emergency assembly point you encounter a guest who seems lost and confused. Demonstrate and explain how you would act. Further Questions: 1. Your colleague who wanted to grab their phone. What must essentially happen when an alarm goes off? There might be some panic happen among the people around.

2. Furniture was blocking the emergency exit. What should you do if you notice objects blocking an emergency exit in your day-to-day work? What would this require from management? Australian Institute of Technical Training (AITT) CRICOS ID: 02868J Version 1.1 RTO ID: 21978 Page 6 of 8

Assessment, Apr 2019

If we detect objects blocking an emergency exit throughout our daily work, we should move all of t he furniture out of the path to avoid mishaps.In most cases, a business must have at least two escape routes to allow employees and other building occupants to leave quickly in the event of an emergen cy. If the quality of employees, the size of the building, or the layout of the workplace make it impossible for employees to safely escape, more than two exits are required. Exit routes must be as far apart as possible in the event that one is blocked by fire or smoke.

3. What should you do if you encounter a guest or a person in fear during an emergency evacuation? It would be best to keep calm down the person by giving them hope and asking them to be relax and be optimism.
