There is a car showroom on the
border of the town, people visit show room to buy the new cars also some time
old ones. Management at car showroom is highly focused on selling more cars to
achieve their target. The workmen at showroom receive large bonus on selling
more cars. Head of the sales are responsible for selling more cars.
The head of sells has 10 years
of working experience at the showroom. To sell more cars employees at showroom
skip the safety. The same attitude followed top to bottom line. Every sales
person is free to do any work method to achieve their sell target as a result a
17-years young apprentice try to fit in the group. Young apprentice used fire
extinguisher to wake up a sales supervisor, the sales supervisor also behaved
normal and react in such a comic way that the misusing safety equipment I just
a jock.
There is a senior salesperson
who is aware about the safety rules, he has noticed many time that young
apprentice is using mobile phone while driving although warning sign (do not
use phone while driving) is displayed. They think some of this due to lack of
training and supervision. In previous
days many incidents have occurred but there is no any record of it.
In the last 12 years, only one
fire incident recorded but that was a false alarm raised by a child who has
pressed the fire call point by mistake.
The sales supervisor had played the role of fire marshal and evacuated
the people to the assembly point, which was nominated in the emergency
procedure. At that time no workmen were aware that what they have to do in such
type of emergency. NEBOSH IGC Solved Question paper.
The senior sales supervisor
shared the safety concerns about fire drill and training, but management
replied the overall fire risk is low and there is no need of fire drill, they
finish the conversation by pointing out that all the fire action notices around
the building are not to just there for the benefits of visitors, but to help
protect people and to satisfy insures to.
The responsibilities of health
and safety at car showroom is to the head of the sells department, but they
have no any experience and training to fulfil this role. The senior sales
supervisor has told many time to MD that one accident can wiped all profits of
selling cars because they are trying to achieve their sell target on cost of
safety. NEBOSH IGC Solved Question paper.

parking area. Young apprentice started the car for parking in parking area,
when the car was at entry gate on concrete hard standing he picked the call and
tried to get out of his car while speaking on phone, suddenly he failed on the
concrete hard standing because seat belt was not fully detached, he tried to
control himself by one hand due to this he got injured. After that he stand and
act like nothing is happened, after that sells supervisor run to him, they
visited a nearest hospital where a small wrist fractured confirmed by X-ray.
Both the sales supervisor and young apprentice decided to keep that matter
secrete within two of them.
The Sales Supervisor talks to the apprentice and advises
them to say that they fell off a bike at home should anyone ask. The apprentice
agrees and does not see this as a problem. They are put on light duties until

Task 1: The
influence of peers 1 Comment on the influence of peers on health and safety at
the car showroom. (10)
Safety
culture of any organization can be negative and positive by the influence of
peer groups. if the majority of people in a group do unsafe practices, then
rest of people also do wrong practices
by influence and pressure of groups. In this car showroom scenario, it is
mentioned that the MD, head of sales as well as the sales supervisors are more
concerned for the increase in sales by ignoring the health and safety issues.
At the car showroom peer pressure seems negative. Following are the examples
which can prove that the peer pressure affects negatively on the safety culture
at the car showroom -
·
To receive large financial
bonuses by top management, workers at car shoe room including MD, Sales
supervisors are more focusing on
achieving great target of selling cars by neglecting the concern of health and
safety which need to be focus at the car showroom.
·
17-years-old sales apprentice
was using phone while driving, warning sign board (do not use phone while
driving) is displayed but he ignored and the no sales supervisor even warned or suggest not to use phone while
driving.
·
17-years-old sales apprentice
used fire extinguisher to wake up sales supervisor, by knowing that this is
unsafe behavior sales supervisor take it as a comic and very lightly, sales supervisor seems encouraging
17-old-sales apprentice by ignoring his horse play at car showroom.
Task 2:
Emergency procedures
(a) What are the positive points about fire
safety arrangements at the car showroom? (5)
(b) What
are the negative points about fire safety arrangements at the car showroom?
(10)
(c) Why is
it important to practice emergency procedures? (5)
(a)
Following are the positive points about fire safety
arrangements at the car showroom-
·
Fire extinguisher provided my management
and kept at car showroom to use in case of fire.
·
There is numerous manual fire call point installed with proper instruction (‘Break glass and press here’) within the
car showroom, which can be used to raise an alarm in case of fire.
·
On getting fire alarm, the
sales supervisor assumed the role of fire marshal and escorted all untrained
visitors & workers to the assembly point, although the alarm was false, but
the sales supervisor played active role
to save the peoples within the car showroom.
As mentioned in the scenario there was a written emergency procedure and an assembly point was
nominated in the written emergency procedure.
(b) Following are the negative points about fire safety arrangements at
the car showroom - Nebosh igc question paper.
·
Training on fire safety equipment not provided to venerable workers, at car showroom 17- years - old sales apprentice found using fire
extinguisher to wake-up the sales supervisor who was sleeping during his
break.
·
No fire
marshal was appointed to carry out fire evacuation, due to which the sales
supervisor played the role of fire marshal on getting fire alarm.
·
There is written emergency procedure but it seems ineffective as during fire call no workers even know what they are doing and
what is going on which shows the management failure.
·
Testing of emergency procedure not carried out to examine that the plan is accurate, practicable and complete as at
car showroom evacuation testing not done.
·
In car showroom there is no proper incident reporting system, as in last 12 years only one fire related incident reported which
was a false alarm.
(c)
Following are the reasons for the importance of
practicing the emergency procedure –
·
To make the workers aware how to react
whenever any emergency occurs within the organization as it is mentioned in the
scenario that during fire emergency no even any worker knew what they are
doing.
·
To check the effectiveness of the emergency procedure and preparedness of workers during the emergency.
·
To make aware of every one’s roles and responsibilities as per the prepared emergency procedure which will help to carry
out evacuation process and rescue successfully.
To identify the
possible risk and error and update/review the emergency procedure to
increase the effectiveness of procedure.
Task 3: Accident
reporting - Nebosh igc question paper
3 Within a workplace
there are formal procedures for reporting accidents.
(a) Comment on the
Sales Supervisor’s approach to reporting the apprentice’s accident? (5)
(b) How should the
apprentice’s accident be reported by the employer? (5)
(a) sales supervisor’s approach to reporting the apprentice’s accident
was very negative because-
·
Every incident/accident must be
reported to top management and external authority but in this scenario sales supervisor hided the accident which
reflects the negative safety culture of the car showroom.
·
in the car showroom there is habit of not reporting the accident as
sales supervisor and young apprentice haven’t reported the accident.
·
If such accidents will not be
reported and found by the legal authority, it is possible that company will face trouble due to legal
action by legal authority.
·
By hiding and not reporting the
accident, sales supervisor is inviting
similar accident in future which shows the negative approach of sales supervisor
in reporting accident.
Sales supervisor
killing the chance to improve health and safety in car showroom by not
reporting accident, if he reports the accident
(b) The apprentice’s
accident should be reported by employer in following manner-
·
The accident to be reported to external authority (law enforcement
agency). Employer can inform them through email and by sending company’s
representative to the external authority office.
·
The accident should must be reported to safety representatives. in
the car showroom HOS have the responsibility of day to day safety so accident
should be reported to HOS by sales supervisor.
·
The accident should be informed
and reported to victim family by sending
email and phone call.
·
Employer should report the accident to competent authority
through email so that they can carry out the accident investigation.
Employer should inform
the accident to insurance companies through email and by sending company
representative to insurance office for claim purpose
Task 4: The
legal reasons for health and safety management
What are the legal reasons why health and
safety should be managed at the car showroom? (10)
Following
are the legal reason why health and safety should be managed at car showroom-
·
As per ILO Convention C155 and Recommendation R164 the employer legally bound to take care of all his employees’ health
and safety during work within the organisation, employer have to insure that work are safe and no risk to
employee’s health. Employer also have to encourage safe working practices,
provide safe work equipment and adequate training.
·
To prevent from enforcement agency, as mentioned in ILO - Occupational
Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (C-155) if employer failed to comply legal requirements of
H&S rules in the organisation enforcement agency can take legal action.
·
To
avoid prosecution in criminal court by enforcement agencies as a result of
accident.
·
To prevent improvement notice or
prohibition notice from enforcement agencies, because after accident
enforcement agency representatives may visit the car showroom.
·
To prevent legal authority to withdrawal approval, if safety rules found breaches during accident investigation after
any accident approvals can be withdrawal.
·
To
protect from varying licences, after accident licences can be cancelled and
work will also can hold.
Task 5:
Workers’ responsibilities in the workplace
It is
likely that the injured apprentice may have contravened some of their
responsibilities as a worker within International Labour Organisation
Convention C155 – Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No.155)
Article 19 and associated Recommendation R164 – Occupational Safety and Health
Recommendation, 1981 (No.164) recommendation 16.
Comment on
the extent to which Article 19 of C155 and recommendation 16 of R164 may have
been contravened. (10)
As per ILO
C155 and R164 following workers’ responsibilities contravened by workers-
As per ILO
C155, Article 19.
·
(a). its worker’s responsibilities to co-operate in the fulfilment by
their employer of the obligation placed upon him during performing the work but
in the scenario 17-years-young found not following safety rules by using phone
while driving even there is warning sign displayed not to use phone while
driving.
·
(b). representatives of workers in the undertaking co-operate with the
employer in the field of occupational health and safety but in the scenario
sales supervisor ignored the risk of fire within in the car showroom.
·
(d). workers and their
representative in an undertaking are given appropriate training but in car
showroom appropriate training have not provided as it is right of worker to get
proper training.
As per
Recommendation R164, article 16.
·
(a). workers are responsible to take reasonable care of their own safety and
also of other who may be affected by their work, but in sales supervisor
found ignoring risk of fire in the showroom which can affect him as well as
others.
·

workplace but young sales apprentice found using phone while driving although
warning sign not to use phone while driving displayed at car showroom.
·
(c). workers have to use safety devices correctly and do not render then
inoperative as mentioned in the scenario 17-years-young sales apprentice found
using fire extinguisher to wake up the sales supervisor which is misuse of
safety equipment’s.
Task 6:
Near misses
It is often
a matter of chance that a near miss turns into an accident. How could
investigation of the previous near misses have helped prevent this accident?
(10)
In the
scenario senior sales supervisor had raised the concern that previous minor
incident been not taken seriously which can result accident in future also,
flowing are the reasons which could help to prevent this accident if near miss
was investigated-
·
Investigating near miss will
help to identify the root cause of
incident which can be treated as a learning opportunity.
·
It will help to identify corrective action once the reason identified to
prevent such near miss/incident in future.
·
Investigation of incident is a legal reason and legal compliances as per
MHSWR 1999, regulation 5.
·
To gather the information from near miss investigation which can help to reduce the risk of accident.
·
In scenario accident happened
due to using mobile phone while driving and not following instruction that is a
human error, if any near miss was
investigated this type of safety violation could be identified which help
to know the importance of safety instruction.
·
By investigating incident we can find root cause, as young sales
supervisor was using phone while driving was immediate cause but root cause was
that proper training was not provided for venerable workers. So by providing appropriate training
accident can be prevented.
·
By investigation of incident or
near miss reasons behind incident can be
eliminated to prevent such type of incident in future.
Task 7:
Health and safety culture
What appear
to be the negative indicators of health and safety culture at the car showroom?
(20)
Following
are the negative indicator of health and safety culture at car showroom-
·
Frequent accidents/near miss: as we
observed in the scenario that senior sales supervisor has observed many near
miss and accident at car showroom which is the negative indicator of H&S.
·
Excessive work load: Achieving sales
target for receiving financial bonuses are given more priority than health and
safety concern at car showroom.
·
Top management not committed toward health and safety: as top management feel that there is low risk of fire in car
showroom although cars are petrol engine type due to which there is high risk
of fire.
·
Managing director (top
management) not dedicated toward health
and safety at car showroom as he visits showroom occasionally.
·
Workers
do not comply with safety compliances and not following safety instruction
as young sales apprentice playing with fire extinguisher and using phone while
driving.
·
Proper and adequate training not provided to employees working at car showroom
as management not considered training as important.
·
Negative attitude to ignoring the complaints: as in scenario senior sales person speaks about safety concern to
sales supervisor but he ignored.
·
There is negative peer pressure: in car
showroom safety behaviour not appreciated and senior sales supervisor feel
pressure to fit in the group.
·
No incident reporting: near miss and
accidents are happening frequently but no one reports the near miss/incident
which shows negative culture of car showroom.
·
No frequent training and practice of mock drill: management feels that there is low chance of fire so frequent
training and mock drill is not required.
