Introduction介绍
（1）这些步骤概述了澳大利亚硬件责任方面工作场所健康和安全（WHS）的风险管理和卧龙岗风险管理政策的框架下运作。
（2）WHS的风险管理是卧龙岗WHS管理系统的一个组成部分，并结合技术，咨询和管理方法，以确定有损害卧龙岗员工的健康和安全的潜在任何可预见的危险。
（3）经理负责工作场所而他们对此的影响和控制管理风险，健康和安全。
定义
（4）'WHS风险“是危险的受伤或疾病发生的危险的结果的可能性和严重性方面的意义。
(1) These procedures outline the Australian Hardware responsibilities in respect of risk management of Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) and operate under the framework of the Wollongong Risk Management Policy.
(2) WHS risk management is an integral part of the Wollongong WHS Management System and combines technical, consultative and managerial approaches to identify any foreseeable hazard that has the potential to harm the health or safety of employees of Wollongong.
(3) Managers are responsible for managing risk to health and safety in the workplace over which they have influence and control.
Definitions
(4) 'WHS Risk' is the significance of a hazard in terms of the probability and severity of an injury or illness occurring as a result of the hazard.
(5) 'WHS Risk management' is the term applied to a logical and systematic method of identifying, analysing, assessing, controlling, monitoring and communicating risks associated with any activity, function or process, in a way that will enable organisations to minimise WHS risks and maximise WHS strategies (WorkCover NSW).
(6) 'Risk Assessment' is the overall process of estimating the magnitude of risk and deciding what actions will be taken.
(7) 'Safety Support Officers' (SSO) refers to designated employees who, as part of their duties, carry out workplace inspections in consultation with employees.
(8) 'Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs)' refers to employees who are the designated point of contact for individual employees seeking to obtain information and report issues concerning WHS matters. They are the consultative link between management and employees on WHS issues.
Identifying Hazards
(9) The Work, Health and Safety Act 2011 places a duty on the stores to eliminate or minimise risks to the health and safety of its employees, contractors and visitors.
(10) Hazards can be generally classified into five broad areas:
1 physical e.g. noise, light, UV radiation, heat, and cold;
2 chemical e.g. hazardous substances, poisons, vapours, and dust;
3 biological e.g. plants, parasites, and viruses;
4 mechanical/electrical e.g. slips, trips and falls, plant and equipment, ergonomics, and manual handling; and
5 psychological e.g. stress, boring/repetitive work, violence/aggression.
(11) The Wollongong will endeavour to identify all foreseeable hazards, in particular, those arising from:
6 work premises;
7 work practices, work systems and shiftwork;
8 plant;
9 hazardous substances;
10 presence of asbestos;
11 manual handling and occupational overuse syndrome (OOS);
12 layout and conditions of the workplace;
13 biological organisms, products and substances;
14 physical working environment (electrocution, drowning, fire, explosion, slips, trips and falls, contact with moving or stationary objects, noise, heat, cold, vibration, static electricity and contaminated atmospheres);
