Where required, consult your services policies and procedures and all frameworks, regulations and quality standards for information.
You will be provided with electronic templates to use throughout the Project. Ask your assessor how to access these. They must be used electronically – hand written submissions will not be accepted unless otherwise instructed. Once completed each page must have your name, the date and the cluster name in the footer.
Create a project folder called “Project 1” that you will present to your assessor on completion.
TASK 1
a. Using the Hazard Identification Checklist Template provided conduct a walk-through of your centre (both indoors and outdoors) and mark each area with a Y (yes, found a hazard) or N (no hazard found).
b.When completed, use the Risk Assessment Matrix to determine the level of risk for any hazards you found and check with your assessor or supervisor that your determinations are appropriate.
c.Using the hierarchy of controls implement the risk controls you decide on. For example, if a bin is over flowing, eliminate the risk by emptying it. Remember, there may be more than one method to control the risk.
d.Once controlled, revisit the hazard and determine if there is any residual risk.
e.Type a short report about the hazards you have identified and the risk controls you have implemented along with any residual risk. The report should be approximately 150-250 words. The report is to be discussed with your assessor in your performance assessment.
f.Email your report to two other students outlining the steps you took to identify the hazards and control the risk.
Add the completed Hazard Identification Checklist and the two emails you sent to your Project 1 folder.

This can be a demonstration for injury management, storage of medications, safe food handling etc.
Ensure you understand the policy and can carry out the required procedures for practical demonstration.
Your trainer will use the Observation checklist 1 in the skills section of this assessment booklet. Please read this before commencing your session.
Add the completed Training plan, Task 2B questions and responses and Observation checklist 1 to your Project 1 folder.
TASK 3
TASK 3 A
For this task, you will develop a policy and procedure for the safe collection of children. Ensure you use the regulations, frameworks and quality standards as guidance.
All services are required to have a policy and procedures in place to ensure the safe collection of children. You will develop your own outlining the policy i.e. what the service is committed to doing and procedures i.e. how
the service will uphold the commitment. Ensure you include enough detail about supervisor and educator responsibilities, who can collect children, late collection of children, emergency situations and what parents and guardians are responsible for.
You may use any format you like for this policy. 1 page of information is sufficient as long as it covers everything outlined above.
TASK 3 B
For this task, you will operate drop off and pick up procedures over a period of five days during your work placement.
Using the service’s policy and procedures, you are required to run the drop off and or pick up times over five days during your work placement. Your assessor must observe at least two of the drop off times you are managing. Your room leader may observe the other three. Observation checklist 2 will be used for this task.
TASK 4
For this task, you will send three emails to fellow students. Each email will be sent over a three-week period and you will print each email and add it to your project 1 folder.The purpose of this task is to demonstrate your knowledge about the service’s WHS procedures and how you apply that knowledge. Over a period of three weeks you will send an email to fellow students about three different WHS procedures. In the emails, discuss when you would use the procedures and use examples. For example, if a child received a minor cut while playing outside you would use the First Aid procedure and outline the steps you would take. Please ensure the procedures you use are relevant to the situations you would apply them to.
TASK 5
For this task, you complete a daily WHS checklist over five days for the room you are working in. Your supervisor will observe you conducting the checks and sign each checklist. Once completed and signed off add

CASE STUDIES:
Instructions to student
This is a Case Study task outlining the details of an incident at an early learning centre. Read through the information then complete the WHS incident notification form using the information provided. Extra information has already been included in the form.
Create a folder called “Case Studies” to submit to your assessor.
CASE STUDY 1
XXX Chambers (38 years) is a happy and energetic Diploma trained educator. She thinks that some of the policies and procedures in relation to WHS are ‘way over the top’. XXX has worked in child care for 15 years
and has never had a ‘real’ accident; however, she has had lots of near misses!
XXX is employed as a senior educator at Reflections Early Learning Centre, 55 Smiths Rd, Jones Bay.
XXX thinks it’s a waste of time having to use a stepladder or waiting around for someone to help lift bulky items. XXX usually stands on a plastic crate to reach the higher shelves in the outdoor storeroom. She argues that it’s more convenient and easier to access than the stepladder.
Yesterday (Tuesday 27th March at 8. 20 am) XXX was standing on a crate so that she could access a basket of plastic dinosaurs, when it gave way. Kari fell backwards, badly bruising her shoulder and hip and breaking her
ankle.
xxxx, another Diploma educator was just outside the storage shed when the accident occurred. He applied immediate first aid by making XXX as comfortable as possible without moving her, calling an ambulance, and icing her ankle.
XXX was taken to the local public hospital- she required an operation to place a pin in her ankle and will be off work for at least eight weeks.
Once you have completed your incident form you will answer the following questions:
1.Which policies and procedures do you think xxxx will have put into action for this incident?
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
2.Do you believe Kari was negligent in her complacency about using a stepladder? Explain your response.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Add the completed Incident Form to your case studies folder along with the completed questions.
Instructions to student

5.Three parents have offered to join the excursion and assist. Everyone is over the age of 25 and have full driver licences.
6. The route will be the most direct possible which is leaving 55 Smiths Rd, Jones Bay, turning left at Taylor Highway, taking Exit 5 onto Jones Rd and arriving at the Reverse Art Truck facility at 200 Jones Rd.
