health and safety problems, that the board of directors is fully
committed and will provide the required resources.

Background to WHSMS
You have been employed by Pitstop as the General Manager Retail. You
have been asked to design and develop a WHS management system
(WHSMS) to manage WHS for Pitstop as one of your initial tasks.
In the employment interview, Jim explained that:
Pitstop has just gone through a tremendous
transformation, from a single hands-on operation to a
multi-store enterprise with plans to triple in size in the
next five years. The board of directors has made me
acutely aware that we cant manage the present and
future operations the way I have in the past. We want
you to design and develop a WHSMS, as far as is
practicable, to ensure a workplace that is safe and
without risks to the health of our employees, customers,
suppliers and visitors to the sites. You may need to
create or rewrite organisational policies as well as devise
training schemes, implement changes and develop
reports.
I dont want to pressure you, but it is imperative that this
WHSMS be in place in four months' time when we meet
with all key stakeholders of Pitstop.
When I managed the single store, we never had the
injuries and time off work that we are having at the
moment. I was always very careful to tell my staff how
to work safely and made sure any potential hazards
were dealt with before they caused injury. But I cant be
in ten places at once. We need a system that can be
effectively implemented and monitored without me
having to be there.
Absenteeism has gone up and I believe that it is caused
by low staff morale connected to work health and safety.
I believe that work should be a happy place because a
happy workplace is a productive one. Also, it tends to
cultivate long-term employees.
After the interview, Jim introduced you to key investor and board member
Alan Harvey, who explained that he leaves Jim to worry about the
company operations while he concentrates on strategic planning. Alan
said:
With our expansion plans we have to be very concerned
about our brand image. We cant afford to have it
