COMMUNITY SERVICES OHS INFORMATION PACK Community services workers play a vital role in caring for our people and helping to maintain a quality of life expected in Australian society, often in challenging and confronting circumstances. The Victorian community services sector employs more than 60,000 people and many volunteers who are committed to providing services that enhance the physical, mental and social wellbeing of individuals.

...that is ornately beautiful but if it takes forever to make drinks & its poor design effects customer service then it may be an expensive disappointing failure. The key of a practical bar is accessibility. If the bartender is required to take more than 3 steps to get anything then odds are the design is poor. It is also a major OH&S risk to a bars staff if they are constantly forced to walk behind other staff to get ingredients. The first stage when designing a bar or laying out an existing bar is working out what needs to go together, by together I mean without taking more than 1 step. * Beer Taps & Beer Glass's * Cocktail Equipment, Cocktail Glass's, Cocktail garnishes, Ice well, Liquor, soft drink gun & Sink * Ice well, Sprits, Speed well, straws coasters, napkins, soft drink gun & sprite glasses * Wine & Wine Glass's * Bar top & cleaning cloths * It all seems pretty simple but actually achieving this can be tricky and requires lots of planning. A bartender actually needs access to: * Speed well (which holds most popular or house spirits & liqueurs) * Glass Ware * Cash Register * Ice Well * Sink * Beer taps * Soft Drink gun * Juices * Cocktail Equipment (Shakers, Spinal mixer, Hawthorn Strainer, Bar spoon, Sifter, Blender, Knife, Cutting Board, Muddling stick & anything else your bar may use.) * Cocktail & drink garnishes * Bottled Beers * Wines * Spirits...

...| Banning Electronic Cigarettes on Aircrafts | | | | | | 1. This proposed regulation interests me since I have started flying more often and I wouldn’t want to sit next to someone smoking an electronic cigarette on an airplane. The seating on airplanes are so close together that you wouldn’t want to be able to smell the vapor from someone smoking an electronic cigarette even though it is barely noticeable. This proposed regulation is banning electronic cigarettes from commercial and international aircraft flights. I guess it would affect me and the company I work for since there are hundreds of people in our company that have to fly for business. The discomfort of having to smell an unusual odor even if it was a flavor odor from someone sitting so close to during a 2 -6 hour flight would not be enjoyable. 2. The proposal is intended to change any existing smoking regulations for airlines to ban the use of electronic cigarettes on any passenger flights both domestic and international. The DOT is implementing this change due to the marketing and promotional advertising to increase the popularity of the electronic cigarettes and they are concerned about any safety, health and discomfort concerns that may be imposed on the other passengers on the aircraft. 3.

Comparisons and conclusions about the designs are based on the current Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards regarding supermarket cash registers. A total of 15 supermarkets were included in the study representing a cross-section of neighborhoods. Stores were measured for heights of the various work surfaces and reach distances to the commonly used components. Results revealed that none of the stores utilized biomechanically correct designs. Disregard for certain biomechanical aspects of the register design, specifically surface heights and reach distance may contribute significantly to a high risk for injury present in the modern day job of cashiers. Relevance to industry This study highlights problems in the supermarket industry regarding compliance with ergonomic guidelines for supermarket cash registers. The findings suggest that, though advances have been made in register design, the newer models are not widely...
