Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to maintain a healthy and safe
workplace through participation in the process of identifying work health and safety (WHS)
hazards and assessing and controlling WHS risks, and the promotion and support of worker
consultation.
It applies to individuals who assist with the identification of workplace hazards and the
assessment and control of WHS risks as part of their WHS responsibilities, which are in
addition to their main duties.
NOTE: The terms 'occupational health and safety' (OHS) and 'work health and safety' (WHS)
are equivalent and generally either can be used in the workplace. In jurisdictions where the
Model WHS Legislation has not been implemented RTOs are advised to contextualise the
unit of competency by referring to the existing State/Territory OHS legislative requirements.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of
publication.
