3 Capability The employer decide what is a reasonable (although not impossible) standard of performance required by the employee. If the standard is reasonable, it is difficult for you as an employee to challenge them. The fact that the employee may be very good at one part of the role but are failing in another may mean the employer is entitled to performance manage you. The employer must be consistent in the way it performance manages.

8 Health and Safety - Hazards A hazard is anything that may cause harm, such as chemicals, electricity, working from ladders, an open drawer etc… http://www.hse.gov.uk/risk/controlling-risks.htm http://www.hse.gov.uk/risk/identify-the-hazards.htm Check manufacturers' instructions or data sheets for chemicals and equipment as they can be very helpful in spelling out the hazards and putting them in their true perspective Look back at your accident and ill-health records - these often help to identify the less obvious hazards Take account of non-routine operations (eg maintenance, cleaning operations or changes in production cycles) Remember to think about long-term hazards to health (eg high levels of noise or exposure to harmful substances)

9 Health and Safety - Risk The risk is the chance, high or low, that somebody could be harmed by these and other hazards, together with an indication of how serious the harm could be Are some hazard more likely to happen compared to other? If there is an accident how does it impact on the employer? Reduction in production Reduction in profit (sick pay) Increase in staffing budgets (sick pay and supply staff) Reduction in staff moral and motivation Possible Increase in staff turn over etc… How much does it cost each year when staff are off because of Slip, trips or falls? http://www.hse.gov.uk/statist ics/causinj/slips-trips-and- falls.pdf What is the graph telling us about violence at work? http://www.hse.gov.uk/stat istics/causinj/violence/inde x.htm
