Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency covers the ability to implement and maintain the work health and safety (WHS) management system for a site or work group. Personnel work in accordance with health and safety management policies, plans and procedures which incorporate all relevant aspects of WHS legislation and the codes, guidelines, regulations and Australian Standards that apply to the site. This unit assumes that personnel have access to a workplace manager and internal or external expert WHS advice.This unit of competency is applicable to environmental site coordinators, environmental managers and senior environmental officers working in all industry sectors. Note that the term ‘manager’ is used to refer to management of a function, project and /or program and does not necessarily imply line management.While no specific licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication, environmental monitoring and management activities are governed by relevant legislation, regulations and/or external accreditation requirements. Local requirements should be checked. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Judgement of competence must be based on holistic assessment of the evidence. Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time, rather than a single assessment event. This unit of competency is to be assessed in the workplace, or a simulated workplace environment. A simulated workplace environment must reflect realistic operational workplace conditions that cover all aspects of workplace performance, including the environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately. Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate. Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence or through an independent process such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept in each case). Holistic assessment methods include: review of WHS information and/or training material developed by the candidate and provided to site personnel review of WHS records and reports prepared by the candidate feedback from site personnel and manager regarding the candidate’s ability to provide/collect accurate and timely WHS information and implement/monitor established WHS management systems oral and/or written questions to assess the candidate’s knowledge of WHS legislative/regulatory requirements, roles/responsibilities, common hazards, procedures for hazard identification, risk assessment and control, and responses to simulated incidents. Access is required to all instruments, equipment, materials, workplace documentation, procedures and specifications associated with this unit including, but not limited to: relevant WHS legislation and regulations, codes of practice workplace WHS policies, management plans, procedures and tools. Assessors must satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment as set by the VET regulator. The assessor must demonstrate both technical competency and currency. Technical competence can be demonstrated through: relevant VET or other qualification/Statement of Attainment AND/OR relevant workplace experience Currency can be demonstrated through: performing the competency being assessed as part of current employment OR having consulted with an organisation providing environmental monitoring, management or technology related services about performing the competency being assessed within the last twelve months. |
