BSB51918 : Diploma Of Leadership And Management

Risk is defined as the uncertain and sudden event occurring to any organization has the capability to the affect that organization positively or negatively as well as can hamper the individual goal of people working in that organization (Loan 2012). In this diagram, there are five steps of risk management that has been described. These steps include establishing the context of risk, identifying risks, analyzing and evaluating risks, treating risks and finally monitoring and reviewing risks. While risk management all the organization follows these five steps (Nabi, Al-Ghmlas and Alghathbar 2012).

Establishment of context of risk is the scope for the risk management and it is the criteria against which the organization assesses the risk. There are two type of risk that can affect the organization such as internal risk and external risk. Establishment of context hence can be external and internal and the organization working in these two contexts need to comply with both of them for better performance (Loan 2012). The external context is related to the business, social, legislative competitive and cultural environment such as strength weakness opportunities and threats as well as relationship with external stakeholders. On the other hand, internal context is within the organization such as risk tolerance ability, compliance or change related obligations, capability of system, process and human resources (Nabi, Al-Ghmlas and Alghathbar 2012).

The second step is identification of the risk in which the employees and leadership are responsible to identify the risk that can affect the workers and process. This risk can be physical, mental, chemical, biological and environmental that can affect the employees and the process. Hence, identification is important (Nabi, Al-Ghmlas and Alghathbar 2012). The third step is the analysis of risk, in which the consequences and the chance of occurrence is analyzed. Using the employees are responsible to create an understanding regarding the risk and its potential to affect the organizational goals. Besides analyzing, evaluation is also a part of this stage and using this the risk is classified under ranking depending on the magnitude of the risk. Further it is the duty of the leadership to assess the effectiveness of the risk and provide permission to issue warrant against the risk for accurate treatment (Lavastre, Gunasekaran and Spalanzani 2012).

The fourth step is to treat the risk and in this the highest ranked risk of the organization is treated by a pre-planned intervention. This intervention is not expected to diminish the risk, but reduce the effectiveness to acceptable level. Risk mitigation strategies, preventive plans and contingency plans can be implemented in this step for reduction of the risk impact on the organization and employees (Haimes 2015). The final step of monitoring and reviewing is the step in which, the management or leadership assesses the risk, used intervention and impact of less magnitude risk on the organization. Risk management is a continuous process and each step is reversible to another. Hence, this process is carried out in continuous manner, so that each upcoming risk can be managed and addressed (Pritchard and PMP 2014).

2). Elimination- it is most effective and primary control measure for hazard control at its source is elimination of that source of hazard. The elimination of hazard at the developmental stage helps to manage the process and workplace health and safety of employees working in that. Hence, it is important to assess and control hazards in the development stage. For example: prior to buying any machine, the leadership should consider safety of the machine instead of the cost. Hence, presence of proper safety guards should be focused instead of the amount of productivity.

Substitution In the process of hazard control, substitution should be the second most important aspect and in this, replacement of the most hazardous material or process is done with less or no hazard containing process or matter. For example, many organizations replace the lead based paint and implements titanium paints. It should be noticed that the new product replacing the hazardous material should not be another hazard (Taché and Carpentier 2014).

Isolation In this hazard control process, the hazardous process or material present in the workplace is isolated from other employees. Foer this aspect, the organization can create barriers and making sections indicating towards the hazardous matter. For example, if the risk is excessive noise producing machinery, then the machine is isolated in a chamber so that the risk can be minimized to lower level (Lees 2012).

Engineering based control does not replaces or isolated the risk associated process or machinery, but creates safety equipment’s using which the risk can be nullified. For example, if any organization, washing glass wares is the risk of hazard as it can break and harm the employee washing it, this approach focuses on creating an automatic washing system so that risk can be eliminated (Taché and Carpentier 2014).

The administration based control approach works best when used in combination with one of the abovementioned hazard control aspects. This is controlled by the administration of the organization and requires implementation of the abovementioned control measures to control the hazard. For example, if the organization requires to eliminate the risk related to glassware washing, then it will provide training to its staffs so that they can wash glassware using automatic wash machine (Lees 2012).

3). There are primarily two ways or methods using which any breaching of workplace health and safety policy is communicated to the supervisor or leader of the organization. These steps are informing the supervisor and the entire staff by reporting the incident in public portal, and secondly writing an application to the supervisor by addressing the entire hazardous incidence.

In case the breaching report is posted on the portal, the steps which will be followed with the help of supervisor are generation of hazard event notification, why the hazard is not accepted and the reason for it, further verification, notification and corrective action are done. On the other hand, if the supervisors are notified with application, then with identification and notification, direct corrective actions are taken.

4). Explanation:

Each organization in current WHS context, trains their employees with emergency protocol against those emergency situations that can impact the organization severely. There are several emergency situations such as poisoning, fire, electrocution, injuries, explosion, radioactivity and chemical spills against which maximum organization arranges training or drill sessions so that employees can be trained for any adverse situation (Combes et al. 2014). If I had to apply five emergency procedures within my restaurant, I would be against fire, physical injuries from cutting, boiling, frying or other procedures, electrocution because of higher amount of electric flow for decoration and lightening purpose, food poisoning and explosion. Emergency procedure against explosion will be included as food preparation involves materials that in contact with fire can produce explosion and hamper consumers as well as staff within the restaurant (Roberts and Hedges 2013).

Emergency Procedures for a restaurant:

A) Fire control

B) Physical injuries from cutting

C) Electrocution because of higher amount of electric flow for decoration and lightening
