The Workplace Health and Safety Regulations require an employer to put in place appropriate systems to actively manage health and safety in the workplace. An essential part of this system is the requirement to keep records of the processes and steps taken and of control methods used. Records are the means by which an organisation can demonstrate compliance with its OHSMS (Occupational Health and Safety Management System). They are also necessary to demonstrate compliance with your legal obligations. They can be used to assist you in the implementation and operation of your OHSMS and provide useful information that can assist you when you are reviewing your safety performance. Records are proof or evidence that certain actions have been undertaken. Often these records are required to be presented to verify that certain conditions and actions have been met.
OHSMS records
• Accident/incidents/near misses;
• Audits and reviews;
• First aid assessment;
• First aid treatment;
• Permits to work, licences;
• Preventative and corrective action;
• Reporting of incidents and system failures;
• Responsibilities eg. job descriptions;
• OHS committee minutes/toolbox meetings minutes;
• Training;
• Worker’s compensation claims;
• Rehabilitation records.
Operational records
• Engineering certification;
• Environmental monitoring;
• Inspection, calibration and equipment maintenance;
• Operator licences /certification;
• Plant/machinery maintenance;
• Structural steel reports;
• Supplier and contractor information.
Registers and records The various registers and records which you should keep will depend on the type of work being conducted. The following registers and records should be considered. This list is not exhaustive but is a good starting point for records which may be needed.
Some of these are mandated under legislation:
Risk assessments including general risk assessments, as well as plant risk assessments, manual handling risk assessments and hazardous substances risk assessments
Hazards which have been reported
OHS Consultation meetings
Training conducted internally and externally, including attendance registers

detection of ions using titration as an analysis tool. You will standardize NaOH and HCl solutions so that you know the exact concentration and then prepare samples of common household items in order to determine the amount of calcium in Tang®, Mg(OH)2 in Milk of Magnesia, etc. You will learn to prepare samples of a specified concentration, learn about acids and bases through the use of titrations and learn how to detect endpoints using different indicators. You will become adept at measuring…
hydrogen ions are so reactive that they will bond to the nearest water molecule to form the hydronium ion. 1) HBr(aq) + H2O(l) ( H3O+(aq) + Br-(aq) 2) NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) ( H2O(l) + NaCl(aq) 3) Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) + H3O+(aq) + Cl- ( 2 H2O(l) + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) 4) OH-(aq) + H3O+(aq) ( 2 H2O(l) We can monitor any acid-base titration by following changes in the H3O+ concentration in the solution. The equation that we will be using to find the pH can be seen in Equation…

if we measure the rate of disappearance of the purple color, we know the rate of disappearance of the CV. [pic] Crystal Violet, CV (purple) (Colorless) You will determine the rate law for this reaction: Rate = k[CV]x[OH]y You will measure the absorbance of the reaction mixture as a function of time using a spectrophotometer which measures the intensity of the purple color. A spectrophotometer measures the amount of light absorbed by a solution as a…

Experiment 24 “Solubility Rules” Objectives: ● Observe and Record chemical changes that form precipitates. ● Derive general solubility rules from experimental data. ● Describe precipitation reactions by writing net ionic equations. Introduction: In the study of chemical reactions it is helpful to have an idea of which compounds can be expected to forms precipitates. A soluble compound will dissolve readily in water and, therefore, will not form a precipitate. An insoluble compound will not…
the edges of the coin in several places. 2. Weigh the penny and record the mass. 3. Under the hood, place the penny into a 150-mL beaker and add approximately 20 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid. 4. When the coin stops producing gas bubbles, decant the acid into another 150-mL beaker. Record the reaction time. 5. Wash the penny in distilled water. Then rinse with acetone. When the penny is dry, weigh and record the mass of the copper shell. 6. Calculate the percentages of copper…
