Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to manage gas system environmental compliance.It includes identifying, reviewing and documenting environmental and work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) management plan issues for a proposed gas system. It also includes facilitating negotiations for compliance with regulations, relevant industry standards and codes of practice.This unit applies to any safe work site where gas industry operations occur. It could also apply, where applicable, to other workplaces in the electricity supply industry (transmission and distribution and generation), the electrotechnology industry and the water industry, subject to WHS/ OHS and duty of care requirements being met for the workplace.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.
