Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to investigators conducting workplace investigations into possible breaches of a range of workplace legislation, which may arise as a result of complaints, incidents or targeted campaigns.
This unit covers the ability to conduct investigations into a range of workplace contexts specifically relating to OHS, workers compensation, injury management and/or workplace relations legislation. It includes conducting an initial assessment of the situation, initiating and conducting an investigation, examining the available evidence, identifying potential witnesses and recording initial statements, assessing investigation material and information gathered, conducting formal interviews, and completing an investigation report.
In practice, investigating possible breaches of workplace legislation may overlap with other generalist or specialist public sector work activities, such as acting ethically, complying with legislation, providing leadership, undertaking research, conducting evaluations, negotiating, and managing conflict.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
