Question Case Study 2: WHS incident You have settled into your role as the coordinator of the Happyville Garden Project. The WHS procedures are in place – all staff and clients have been trained in their use.You were rostered off yesterday, but today you have come into work to find an incident report on your desk. It looks like your first task today will be to review the incident and put in place measures to prevent a similar incident from happening again.You interview the staff and learn the following:§ Jenny, the staff member who is in charge during your absence, was in the office doing paperwork when the incident occurred. § Jenny feels that the clients are adults and do not need to be watched all the time.§ Jenny organised for first aid and took Johnny to hospital in her car.§ Josh and Herriot are very upset about what happened to Johnny. They were just having a bit of fun!§ Johnny requires dental work (a plate). He will be claiming against the Neighbour House.§ Johnny is not happy about the lack of supervision. You must read the incident report form below and complete Parts B and Part C. Use the information in the case study above to complete the sections about each person involved in the accident. Part C requires you to identify five actions that can be taken to minimise the risk of this incident occurring in future.  Happyville Neighbour House – Incident Report Form PART A – to be completed by the employee Name of employee: Johnny Gardiner Time of accident/incident: 3pm Date: 15 October 2016 Work area: Garden Project   Describe the hazard/detail what happened – include area and task, equipment, tools and people involved. I was digging in the garden and had my back turned to two young clients – Josh and Herriot. I could hear them fooling around like they always do, but I didn’t take much notice of them. The next minute they started play fighting. Josh pushed Herriot and she lost her footing. She fell against my back. I lost my footing just as I was lifting the spade. I hit my mouth on the handle of the shovel and knocked out my two front teeth. Possible solutions/how to prevent recurrence (do you have any suggestions for fixing the problem or preventing a repeat?) I think Josh and Herriot should be banned from the neighbour house – or at least the Garden Project. They always behave like children even though they are both over 25!I also think there should be a supervisor close by to watch client behaviour. When the coordinator has her day off it seems like no one cares about the gardening project.   PART B – to be completed by the supervisor Results of the investigation Notes from the interview with the staff member in charge when the incident occurred:  Interview with the person who was injured:  Notes from the interview with those who caused the incident: Root cause of the incident (determine whether the hazard is likely to cause an injury and explain what factors caused this event)       PART C – to be completed by the supervisor Action taken (supervisor to identify actions to prevent injury or illness)   Action Responsibility Completion date 1       2       3       4       5       Health Science Science Nursing NURSING HLTWHS004 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
