Order description:

Step 1.

Based on the risk assessment framework for the chosen case study, write a 1,000-word (maximum) analytical summary. The summary should include:

 

the background (i.e. issues)

a summary of the key findings (i.e. hazard and exposure)

implications and recommendations of the study.

 

Step 2.

Based on the provided template, prepare a two-page (maximum) briefing note for the Minister/Executive Director/Chief Executive. The briefing note should be completed with all headings and without altering spacing.

You may use tables/figures in the summary. It must not be a table from the study, but can summarise key findings from it. Do not quote directly from the report.

Whilst in practice references are not used extensively in preparing briefing notes, this is an academic assessment and therefore it is essential that evidence-based literature (minimum 5 references) will support your arguments.

You are to prepare the analytical summary and briefing note of an occupational risk assessment for an Executive Director/Chief Executive of an organisation. The purpose is to provide the Executive Director/Chief Executive with enough information to respond to questions from the company Board of Directors. The company board is currently considering introducing formaldehyde into the occupational setting. You have been asked to advise on the occupational risks of using formaldehyde in this setting.

Base your briefing note and analytical summary on the NICNAS Priority Existing Chemical Report on formaldehyde available from: https://www.nicnas.gov.au/chemical-information/factsheets/chemical-name/formaldehyde
