Activity 1: Create an organization risk profile of your chosen organization This section is very important. It describes the main risks that your organization faces. The answers you give to the remaining activities in this paper must be consistent with the information you provide here (unless otherwise stated). For example, if the risks that you give here relate to the banking or insurance sectors, it would be unusual to later describe a situation where welding contractors are repairing a chemical storage tank in your own organization.
1 Produce a risk profile of your chosen organization that outlines FOUR significant risks. Note: You must use the Activity 1 format table to record your answers.]
Activity 2: Preparing a brief research report on monitoring and measuring techniques
2 Prepare a brief research report that
• critically reviews techniques for monitoring and measuring health and safety performance
• evaluates the effectiveness of your chosen organization’s health and safety monitoring and measuring techniques
• Make TWO recommendations for improving the monitoring and measuring techniques used in your chosen organization. (50)
Your research report must be presented in the following format (see marking descriptors for further information)
• Executive summary.
• Introduction – containing aims/objectives, methodology and introduction
to the topic.
• Critical review – which briefly, but critically, reviews techniques for monitoring and measuring health and safety performance. This must draw from a range of reliable reference sources such as authoritative guidance, expert opinions, and other evidence. References for the cited
evidence should use a recognized referencing style (Harvard, Vancouver, OSCOLA, etc). The learner can choose which style to use, but the style
must be used consistently throughout the report.
• Brief analysis of the effectiveness of your chosen organization’s health and safety monitoring and measuring techniques. This is effectively a
brief gap analysis or commentary comparing your organization to good practice/effective insights that you have determined from your critical
review. It should include examples from the workplace to support the analysis.
• Conclusion – a summary of findings that includes
– A clear outline of TWO recommendations for improving the monitoring and measuring techniques used in your chosen \organization.
– A justification for EACH of your recommendations. The justifications must include links back to the research carried out in the introduction to show that they logically follow and that they would most likely be effective.
– List of Reference sources cited.
