Apply knowledge of WHS legislation
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit was developed for Defence workers involved in the evaluation and review of safety cases but is applicable to all individuals who work in this field.
Typically these individuals must demonstrate the ability to work independently or as part of a team under direct and/or indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs. All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant organisational policies and procedures.
This unit covers the competency required to analyse and apply knowledge of work health and safety (WHS) legislation.
The application of this knowledge is required by people who are not specialists in the field but need the knowledge to inform their decision making and underpins advice to stakeholders.
The application of WHS legislation knowledge is specific to a variety of component processes in safety case activities.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. In a Defence context, this means that there is no civilian need to hold this unit in order to meet licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements.
