Tasks
Part A: Develop a WHS Program or Procedure
Task
In this Unit of Competency we learnt that it is common practice for organisations to adopt the “Six Step Approach” to develop and implement a Work health and Safety Management System (WHSMS).
As you discovered, an organisation’s WHS Policy forms the “corner stone” of the WHSMS and clearly states the organisation’s commitment to WHS and identifies the initiatives that will be taken to ensure a safe work environment is provided to all persons working in, serviced by, or visiting the workplace.
For part A of this Assessment you are required to write one (1) WHS Program or Procedure that aims to fulfil the goals set by an Organisation’s WHS Policy.
To successfully complete this task you must:
1. Read the following example WHS Policy for “Big Corp Travel”.
2. Select one (1) of the WHS programs or procedures listed in the WHS Policy for this tourism company and prepare (write) a detailed program or procedure that can be included in the Organisation’s WHS Programs manual.
3. Your WHS Program/Procedure must contain and address the following paragraph headings:
· WHS Program/Procedure title (name).
· Purpose and objectives (what does the program/procedure aim to achieve?)
· Scope (who does this program/procedure apply to? Departments and personnel)
· Program/Procedure (outline the steps in the program – what, where, how)
· Implementation Strategies (how will the program be implemented and communicated to staff?)
· Monitoring and Evaluation (how will the program be monitored and evaluated?)
· Review (when will this program be reviewed to ensure that it remains current and relevant and who will conduct this revision?)

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)
