Issue Date: April 2024
This unit applies to individuals with responsibility for identifying, reviewing, developing, implementing and evaluating processes to enable people to be consulted about, and to participate in, WHS management and decision making across their organisation. The unit also addresses influencing others from a WHS perspective and takes account of the responsibilities for managing WHS.
The unit applies to people who work in a range of WHS roles across all industries and who apply a substantial knowledge base and well-developed skills in a wide variety of WHS contexts.
NOTE: 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 the National Model WHS Legislation has not been implemented RTOs are advised to contextualise the unit of competency by referring to the existing State/Territory OHS legislative requirements.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to manage the identification, review, development, implementation and evaluation of effective participation and consultation processes as an integral part of managing work health and safety (WHS).
