Question 11 and 12 The following questions require you to follow your legal responsibilities to conduct a WHS inspection and complete a risk assessment of a new client’s home. For these questions you will use your own home to conduct the WHS inspection and risk assessment. Your assessment will be based on the needs of the client in the scenario below.

Your client is Matthew Sandson, an 18-year-old recovering from a broken leg and other injuries to his arm and back, sustained in a car accident. Before the accident Matthew shared a unit with a couple of friends, had an active social life and was about to finish his mechanic apprenticeship. Matthew is due to move back home to his parents house after the accident as he needs assistance with his ADL. He manages to move around the house on crutches, but is still in a fair bit of pain. He is expected to need support for at least another six months and won’t be able to return to work before then. While he’s at home his mother, Lynn, will be looking after him, however she still needs to work as Mathew’s parents are going to cover the cost of Matthew’s bills while he recovers. Matthew will be on his own around 5-6 hours during the day. This will mean Matthew will need to organise his own lunch, and get to and from the bathroom as required.
