Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to organise work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) procedures in the workplace, in accordance with WHS/OHS codes/regulations and workplace requirements in the transport and logistics industry.It includes interpreting and applying information about WHS/OHS policies and procedures and duty of care responsibilities. It also includes identifying and assessing hazards and risks in the workplace, negotiating to control workplace hazards and risks, resolving complaints about WHS/OHS and instituting appropriate risk management strategies.Safety checks and equipment tests are performed under limited supervision.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment include:
