Assessment 2 - Skills Assessment
Task - Safe Design Standard Operating Procedure
This assessment task requires the development of a Standard Operating Procedure for inclusion of safety in design. You should refer to the examples (Queensland Urban Utilities and Australian Rail Track Corporation ATRC) as a basis for the document you produce.
Assume you are engaged by a civil engineering organisation that undertakes civil engineering and design for public infrastructure works. As part of meeting your obligations under the WHS Act and Regulations 2011 you are required to prepare a safety report and issue this to the client where the client is a Person Conducting A Business or Undertaking (PCBU). The aim of this report is to help prevent possibly future injuries or death by identifying, assessing and eliminating hazards or potential risks at the design stage. You also have a legal obligation to do this under the legislation, specifically regulation 295 of the WHS Regulation 2011. You also have an obligation under section 22 of the WHS Act to provide information on how you have designed the structure to be without risk to health and safety during construction, maintenance, use and demolition to anyone who is issued with a copy of the design. This information can be incorporated into the safe design report required under the WHS Regulation. Your standard operating procedure document must ensure these requirements are met in the designs developed by your organisation.
