Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to establish, maintain and evaluate a work, health and safety system in the work environment. This may require significant role or delegated authority to allow for implementation and review. It does not cover the broader implementation of an organisational wide Work, Health and Safety (WHS) /Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) policy.

The unit is applicable to personnel who have either a legislated or delegated responsibility to implement systems to meet organisational WHS/OHS policy requirements. While designed for public safety personnel this unit may be applied in a range of industries.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
