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 o

n 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
