Part A - Case Studybr / span classtab/spanYou have recently taken ownership of a small convenience store. You decide to do a hazard identification walk. This is a report that you produce ldquoUpon entering the store I noticed small pools of water left by customers shaking their umbrellas, and taking off their coats. There are still a lot of boxes of stock left in the aisles. Some are over 15 kilograms in weight. The work areas around the cash registers look very aged, with cardboard being used underneath one of the staffrsquos chairs so it remains balanced. Behind the cash registers cables to the computers are laid out on the floor. The electrical socket that is used for the printer / fax and the EFTPOS machine appears to have become loose. One of the staff members smells of alcohol, and appears to be under the influence of another substancebr / br /

Of the hazards you have identified, choose one that would force you to make wholesale changes to eliminate. span classtab/spanspan classtab/spanspan classtab/spanspan classtab/spanspan classtab/span span classtab/spanspan classtab/span(1 mark) Staff under alcohol influence. This sort of behaviour is not accepted and must be totally controlled in order to guarantee that the staff team is sober and have total control of what is being said or negotiated. Plus, the consumption of alcohol during working hours is illegal and can result into a very serious problem with the government or business license. a) How will you ensure that new hazards are not created by the proposed changes, and existing hazards are controlled span classtab/spanspan classtab/spanspan classtab/spanspan classtab/spanspan classtab/spanspan classtab/span(2 marks) It will be guaranteed that controlling procedures are being made and also e staff members will be prepared to identify and possible hazards that can appear. Through procedures and monitoring tasks, it will be possible to analyse if new hazards are being created and how effectively the pro-active procedures are being taken. 3.
