Revision:
Any deficiency or risk hazards that threaten the health as well as safety a
angements at the contractors can lead to significant costs. Some of these costs could be uninsured. Naturally, the organisation which is dependent on the contractor can be severely affected by the same. These costs could range across the down time in production impacting cost, profitability, revenue, etc., or impairment / injury / harm to key set of workers have consequent and immediate cost impacts, direct impacts on the product / services leading to quality / standards / value issues, or damages to facility / equipment causing various issues.

Question 3
How could a safety officer determine what is best practice in health and safety management of contractors? (40–60 words)
The determination of the best practices pertaining to the health and safety management of the contractors entails the consideration of Occupational Safety and Health Administration Regulations 2. The contractor need to be ensured of the safety at the work site and the same has to be effectively adhered. The best practice can also be determined from the past events, if any.

This answer still tells me very little. What documents will we use? who will we talk to? Why?
REVISION #2:
The best practices in essence include policies, processes, procedures, methods, systems, as well as a
angements that are employed as well as applied for attaining effective form of WHS management with respect to the contractors. The same can be attained by way of discussion, networking, etc. with industry peers, publications / reports in this regard, and best practices collated and issued by regulators / independent bodies like Safe Work Australia, relevant regulatory authorities, etc. and finally, global best practices in this context can also be refe
ed to that are available by way of publications in this regard.

ABC Chemicals is a medium-sized chemical distributor located at the rear of a large metropolitan shopping precinct. ABC Chemicals purchase large quantities of cleaning chemicals. These are delivered in 205 litre drums and include solvents, acids and other co
osives, and detergents. These products are decanted by ABC Chemicals’ workers into retail size containers (not exceeding 30 litres/ kilograms), re-labelled and shipped in company-badged delivery vehicles to retail outlets throughout the metropolitan area.
There is, within 25 metres of ABC Chemicals, a local nursing home that cares for elderly residents with age-related conditions including dementia. Across the road from the nursing home is a child care centre that provides day care for children under the age of five.
ABC Chemicals employs some 50 people whose duties include the day-to-day running of the organisation and decanting of the chemicals into smaller containers. Small spills during the decanting procedures are cleaned up with rags, which are disposed of at the end of the day into the general waste dumpster in the rear yard of the premises. The dumpster is collected by a waste contractor on a weekly basis.
The ABC Chemicals building was constructed in 2000 and has been fitted with limited emergency equipment. None of the workers have received any training in safe handling of chemicals or how to cope with emergencies and there is no emergency plan displayed in the workplace.
ABC Chemicals is situated on a busy intersection and there have been several significant vehicle accidents in front of the premises.
All empty chemical drums are stored in the rear yard against the back cyclone fence. These drums are collected on a monthly basis and as many as 250 drums can be stored there awaiting collection.
Behind the cyclone fence is a large open, overgrown paddock with dry grass, which is owned by the local council. The council has advised ABC Chemicals that they wish to build a community centre on this site at some time in the near future.
Create a simple emergency response plan for an emergency event (similar to 6.1 in the sample plan) that might be used by ABC Chemicals. You will need to document the actions required for a major type of emergency, taking account of standards, cu
ent industry practice, specialist advice and input from emergency agencies. You cannot create an emergency response plan for a fire as this has already been done in the text.
