Agriculture

Agriculture WHS Risk
Agriculture WHS (Work Health and Safety) risks are diverse, including hazards from machinery, chemicals, manual tasks, animals, uneven ground, noise and dust. Mental health risks from isolation, high workload, and stress are also significant.
Effective risk management involves identifying hazards, assessing their severity, implementing control measures, and ensuring adequate training and WHS policies for all workers.
Construction

Construction WHS Risk
Construction WHS (Work Health and Safety) risks include hazards like falls from height, electrocution, asbestos and silica dust, manual handling, confined spaces, plant and machinery and psychological hazards.
Certain high-risk activities, such as demolition, working at heights, and structural alterations, require specific risk assessments and Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS).
Mining
Mining WHS Risk
Mining Work Health and Safety (WHS) risks involve risks to the ground (rock falls, collapse), machinery (collisions, entanglement) fire/explosion, air quality (dust, fumes), chemical exposure, and even psychosocial hazards like fatigue and stress.
Managing these risks requires implementing Principal Mining Hazard Management Plans that include risk assessments, engineering controls, PPE and ongoing monitoring.

Maintenance
Maintenance WHS Risk
Maintenance work presents a high level of risk due to physical environments (e.g., working at heights, confined spaces), plant and machinery (e.g., asbestos, dusts, chemicals, electric shock, entanglement) and manual tasks (e.g., lifting, repetitive movements).
Other significant risks include psychosocial hazards such as bullying, stress, fatigue, as well as risks from falls to ground and traffic management.

Oil and Gas
Oil and Gas WHS Risk
Oil and gas WHS risks include vehicle incidents, falls, fire and explosions, struck-by/caught-in equipment, confined spaces, chemical exposures, high-pressure systems, manual handling, volatile substances, remote locations, and heavy machinery.

Manufacturing
Manufacturing WHS Risk
Manufacturing work health and safety (WHS) risks include injuries from dangerous machinery, falls from height, uneven ground, manual handling, chemical exposure, noise, electric shock, crush/entanglement and psychosocial risks such as bullying and high job demands.
Effective management involces implementing safety measures such as machine guarding, proper chemical handling procedures, good housekeeping, providing appropriate training, using personal protective equipment (PPE) and addressing mental health concerns to create a safer workplace.

State and Local Government
State and Local Government WHS Risk
State and local governments face WHS risks including musculoskeltal, ergonomic, traffic management, as well as psychosocial hazards such aas bullying, violence and high workloads.
Other risks involve repetitive work, exposure to electricity, and the general challenge of managing risks in diverse work environments.
These risks must be managed through comprehensive risk assessments that consider both physical and psychological well-being, and by following the specific WHS laws and codes of practice in their jurisdiction

Music and Sporting Events
Event WHS Risk
Event management WHS (Work Health and Safety) risks include hazards from site conditions (e.g., slip/trip, poor lighting), inclement weather (heat, wind), event equipment (electric hazards, musculoskeletal), crowd management issues, food safety, potential for medical emergencys, traffic/transport interaxtion, fire hazards, staff/volunteer safery, emergency access/response and aggressive patrons.
Effective WHS risk management requires identifying, assessing, and controlling these hazards through planning, communication, training, and site inspections
