Morning all
I have a tendency to overanalyse and overcomplicate things and am never quite sure of myself (I have genuine imposter syndrome :( )
So because of this I am stuck on what is probably the easiest question ever asked on the CIPD assignments.
"identify 3 requirements of the HASAWA"
Would my approach be correct if I pick out just a few points from the General Duties section part 1 such as "the provision and maintenance of plant and systems of work that are, so far as is reasonably practicable, safe and without risks to health;" and write a bit of information about what this relates to, such as "this refers to the provision of equipment such as IT infrastructure and ensuring they are safe to use, for instance by retiring obsolete or defective equipment and ensuring visual and PAT test inspections are carried out on a regular basis and recorded etc etc........" I'm a bit stuck on the systems of work and what that actually means in this context, is it referring to processes and making sure they aren't unduly onerous or actual physical use so referring to risk assessments etc? Both?
and then talk about facilities for staff welfare such as toilets, water etc
possibly giving a quick practical example of how it applies to my workplace?
I have a good example I think for ensuring risks to health in connection with transport of articles and substances - we have to load/unload trucks and have a 'stores' so can refer to manual handling training, PPE etc and also cleaning substances kept in a locked cupboard etc (if thats what it means!)
Any pointers or just confirmation that Im on the right track much appreciated :)
Thanks in advance!
Sam
