Description | This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to implement predetermined OHS policies and procedures and to monitor OHS practices as a supervisory function.A systematic management approach is central to compliance with OHS legislation which, in all Australian states and territories, imposes obligations on all businesses whether small, medium or large, to manage the safety of their workers and anyone else in the workplace. This unit involves the implementation and monitoring of those predetermined OHS practices designed, at management level, to ensure a safe workplace.No occupational licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.This unit is one of three hierarchical units describing varying levels of participation in OHS management practices:SITXOHS001B Follow health, safety and security proceduresSITXOHS004B Implement and monitor workplace health, safety and security practicesSITXOHS005A Establish and maintain an OHS system.The processes necessary to control specific workplace safety risks are covered in SITXOHS003B Identify hazards, and assess and control safety risks. | ||

Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes a fundamental systems implementation skill for those working within the service industries and applies to the full range of industry sectors and environments.Under OHS law, all organisations are responsible for providing and maintaining a safe workplace. Whether micro, small, medium or large, they must ensure the health, safety and welfare at work of all employees and the safety of people, other than their workers, who may be present at the workplace. In the service industries, the workplace would include any location where the business operates and 'others' would include customers.In large organisations, the responsibility for implementing and monitoring OHS practices might be undertaken by a specialist OHS practitioner. In the service industries, the majority of businesses are small to medium and OHS implementation is undertaken by supervisors, operational managers and owner-operators who fulfil a range of diverse business management duties. This unit applies equally to both specialist and generalist personnel.Those who operate with a considerable level of autonomy or under limited guidance from others would be responsible for implementing and monitoring OHS practices. They would be the contact person for operational staff who would refer any OHS discrepancies. | ||
