Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to establish, maintain and evaluate energy sector work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) systems.It includes understanding an organisation’s WHS/OHS obligations; determining and maintaining participative arrangements, procedures for hazard identification, risk assessment and control measures; procedures for dealing with hazardous incidents, safety training and safety records; and evaluating the safety system.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.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in suitable workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated suitable 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 must include access to:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, facilities and equipment currently used in industry

resources that reflect current industry practices in relation to establishing, maintaining and evaluating WHS/OHS systems

applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.
