PART 1: CASE BASED ASSESSMENT (60%)
ASSESSMENT CONTEXT
You have recently being appointed as an operational officer of a 3
star hotel named IBIS in Sydney. Matching contemporary urban style and
energy with warm, welcoming service and a casual spirit, the ibis Sydney
World Square Hotel is one of the top places to stay in Sydney CBD. With
an unbeatable central city location, on historic Pitt Street near the
Capitol Theatre, SMC Conference Centre and Australian Technology Park,
our 166-room hotel offers well-appointed accommodation at an exceptional
price that meets any budget. From here, guests enjoy a short stroll to
Sydney attractions like the historic Queen Victoria Building, Chinatown,
Hyde Park and Darling Harbour. Some of the highlighted features of this
hotel includes with broadband Internet access, wifi, LCD flat screen
televisions, work desks and mini refrigerators comfortable Standard or
Deluxe outfitted with the full range of business and family-friendly
amenities.
Use the IBIS website at http://www.ibissydneyworldsquare.com.au/ to
gather more information on the organisational and to complete the four
activities. In each of the activities, a sample has been provided
(highlighted in red text) for you get an idea on how to complete the
activity. Each activity carries 15 marks to aggregate a total of 60
marks in PART 1.
ACTIVITY 1: DEVELOPING WORKPLACE PROCEDURES
Use this table to identify and describe procedures you should follow
at this hotel organisation in order to comply with licensing,
regulations or environmental policy. In the first column (Workplace
procedure) list each procedure you follow. In the second column
(Purpose) explain the purpose of the procedure. In the last column (Use
of the procedure) describe the way you perform a task or steps you take
in order to comply.
WORKPLACE PROCEDURE PURPOSE USE OF THE PROCEDURE
Recycling procedure Encourage recycling of office waste, e.g paper,
printer toner cartridges, limit colour impressions I only print when
necessary and recycle printed copies I no longer need.
If replacing a printer cartridge I put the used toner into a box labelled for toner recycling.
ACTIVITY 2: RESOURCE CONSUMPTION PLAN
Use this table to record some of the resources your hotel may have
used in one day. Add resources to the first column (Resources) according
to job and workplace activities. Complete the ‘Resource’ column by
listing the volume of the resource you consume for different activities.
Estimate volumes (e.g. 250ml) to the best of your knowledge where
necessary. In the second column (Unit of measurement) give the general
unit of measurement for how the resource can be measured. In the third
column (Total usage in one day) give your total usage according to all
amounts you use multiplied by the unit of measurement. Some examples are
included to get you started.
As an alternative to completing this table, you could conduct an
audit or survey. For example a paper audit: count the number of paper
sheets or reams used up over a period of time.
Or conduct a survey amongst your colleagues: find out how much car fuel is consumed in total amongst the group in one (1) day.
RESOURCE UNIT OF MEASUREMENT TOTAL USAGE IN ONE DAY
Electricity (lighting)
one 100 watt light bulb Hours/kilowatts 7 hours/0.7kW
Water (kitchen)
1 cup + 250ml cups/millilitres 4 cups/ 1,000mls (I litre)
ACTIVITY 3: ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Use this table to identify environmental hazards in your workplace
or an alternative place of work or study. In the first column (Hazard)
list five hazards you find in your workplace. In the second column
(Why?) explain why each is an actual or potential hazard. In the last
column (Risks) describe the risks to the environment associated with
each hazard.
Environmental hazards include smog, gases, odours, waste water, sewage leaks, pesticides and waste (plastics).
HAZARD WHY? RISKS
Cleaning products containing toxic chemicals Cleaning products
release pollutants into the environment when they wash down drains and
enter waterways. Pollutants change the natural composition of the air,
soil and water they mix with. This endangers animal habitats and affects
the sustainable balance of plant diversity, eg nutrients in detergents
result in excessive plant growth and cause fluctuations in oxygen
levels.
ACTIVITY 4: WORK ACTIVITIES IMPACT
Use this table to identify which aspects of the environment your
work activities impact. Add your work activities to the first column
(Activity). Place a cross in each column (Environmental impacts) that
you think the work activity impacts.
In the last column (Comments) suggest ways in which the work activity impacts the environment.
WORK ACTIVITY
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS COMMENTS
Air quality Water quality Natural resource supply Waste disposal Land and wildlife Noise Heritage
Using a computer x x Leaving a computer switched on when not in use is wasting energy (impacting natural resource supply).
Disposing of computers generates waste which adds to landfill.

sustainability are available to the public.
