Practical Task - Examples of Implementing Sustainability

Postby julieben » Sat Jun 01, 2013 4:41 pm
Hi Im Julie, and i am currently nearly finishing my Certificate 3 in Children Services (1 week to go...YAY! :clap: ) .[/color]

I am stuck on a question on my work task book that I have received from TAFE, its about Implementing sustainability. Its say's give 3 examples of Environmental sustainability, 3 examples of Economic sustainability , Three examples of Workforce sustainability and Three examples of Social sustainability.

Im not sure if this is right or if i'm on the right track,

I wrote for environmental sustainability :
1) Explaining and talking to the children about plants and animals that occur in the centre : Example: bugs, lizards etc.

2) Using materials with the children like rocks, sticks, twigs leafs for there art work.

3) Introducing activities such as nature treasure hunts and encourage them to interact with the nature world.

Economic sustainability:

1) switching off light when not needed

2) Using clothes line to dry clothes rather then using dryer .

3) Turning off taps and encouraging children to turn off tapes when they finish washing hands. Every week every child will get to a turn on been a water monitor.

W
orkforce sustainability:

This question I was stuck on and didn't know what it meant by workforce sustainability 

Social Sustainability: 

This question as well, didn't really understand what really meant when they said social sustainability 

I was wondering if I am on the right track with the 2 top questions, and if anybody can explain to me what it means by the 2 other question that I mention, that would be great!, what examples would I could put in those two questions.

Thank you for your support

For the first two questions yes you are on the right track with your response. For environmental sustainability you can also include recycling/reusing materials....

Workforce Sustainability: http://www.peakperformancepm.com.au/wor ... inability/

For example: providing professional development courses for staff, encouraging and supporting staff within the centre etc.

3. Definitions Hazard: Anything (e.g. condition, situation, practice, behaviour) that has the potential to cause harm, including injury, disease, death, environmental, property and equipment damage. A hazard can be a thing or a situation. Hazard Identification: This is the process of examining each work area and work task for the purpose of identifying all the hazards which are “inherent in the job”. Work areas include but are not limited to machine workshops, laboratories, office areas, agricultural and horticultural environments, stores and transport, maintenance and grounds, reprographics, and lecture theatres and teaching spaces. Tasks can include (but may not be limited to) using screen based equipment, audio and visual equipment, industrial equipment, hazardous substances and/or teaching/dealing with people, driving a vehicle, dealing with emergency situations, construction. This process is about finding what could cause harm in work task or area. Risk: The likelihood, or possibility, that harm (injury, illness, death, damage etc) may occur from exposure to a hazard. 
Risk Assessment: Is defined as the process of assessing the risks associated with each of the hazards identified so the nature of the risk can be understood. This includes the nature of the harm that may result from the hazard, the severity of that harm and the likelihood of this occurring. 
Risk Control: Taking actions to eliminate health and safety risks so far as is reasonably practicable. Where risks cannot be eliminated, then implementation of control measures is required, to minimise risks so far as is reasonably practicable. A hierarchy of controls has been developed and is described below to assist in selection of the most appropriate risk control measure/s. Monitoring and Review: This involves ongoing monitoring of the hazards identified, risks assessed and risk control processes and reviewing them to make sure they are working effectively.
