This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to lead the development and use of work health and safety (WHS) risk management tools.

The unit applies to those responsible for managing hazards in the workplace whose role requires them to provide leadership in WHS risk management.

NOTES

1. The terms ‘occupational health and safety’ (OHS) and ‘work health and safety’ (WHS) are equivalent, and generally either can be used in the workplace. In jurisdictions where model WHS laws have not been implemented, registered training organisations (RTOs) are advised to contextualise this unit of competency by referring to existing WHS legislative requirements.

2. The model WHS laws include the model WHS Act, model WHS Regulations and model WHS Codes of Practice. See Safe Work Australia for further information.

3. WHS risk management tools are used in the four steps identified by the Safe Work Australia model code of practice, How to manage work health and safety risks – identify hazards, assess risks, control risks and review control measures.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
