Read the requirements for each of the handouts below and then conduct research using the Internet to identify the information needed for each of the handouts and include information from the kitchen’s WHS Policy and Procedures, and reference this as required in your handouts. The format and style for the handouts are as follows: Create clear and concise one (1) page handouts using computer software. You can develop these in any program available to you such as Word, Publisher or other design program – but Word is fine for this purpose. Use simple and clear language that takes into account social and cultural diversity. For, example, use simple English and avoid informal language or slang.Use appropriately sized fonts and present well-formatted, grammatically correct information.Ensure that the handouts you create use the same layout, font, colours and style so they are consistent in their approach. You will be required to present the handouts that you have developed at a WHS briefing session soon. Print one copy of each handout for the training session but save soft copies to your WHS filing system on your device.Submit a copy of each handout to your assessor prior to the meeting.
