Participate in OHS processes
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit is intended for application during induction of new entrants to the workplace and where a worker has basic operational knowledge and skills for a limited range of tasks and problems. This includes apprentices, trainees and casual workers
Application of this unit should be contextualised to reflect any specific workplace risks, hazards and associated safety practices
Contextualisation statement
This unit has been contextualised from the generic Australian Safety and Compensation Council (ASCC) unit OHS200 Participate in OHS processes
The following contextualisation statement is provided as an aid to training and related personnel and others who wish to use pulp and paper industry OHS standards in our industry or other industry contexts
It provides additional information to be read in conjunction with the range statement
General description of the Pulp and Paper Industry context:
Pulping and/or paper manufacturing facilities are generally characterised by:
State-of-the-art/cutting edge technologies including nano-technology
Large high-speed equipment (current world-class machinery can produce up to 2 kilometres of paper per minute, depending on paper grade)
Continuous 24 hour/7 day week/365 day operations
Fully integrated processes interlinking complex manufacturing operations with related on-site services; supply and distribution operations; and other supporting plant, equipment and functions
Thousands of different integrated mechanical and electrical componentry that can span four stories in height and take up the space of a street-block in size, with mills occupying up to 3.4 sq km of land (not including filtration wetlands)
Chemical use comprising chemical recovery operations and may include chemical recovery boiler operations
The nature of the pulp and/or paper manufacturing process requires that occupational health and safety be embedded in knowledge and skills development associated with industry specialisations. This unit must be holistically assessed with the relevant industry specific (functional) units. This ensures that learners are competent in performing all aspects of their work safely
This unit specifies the workplace performance required for an entry level employee to participate in OHS processes in the workplace, in order to ensure their own health and safety at work, and that of others in the workplace who may be affected by their actions
