Unit Summary
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to assist with managing the work health and safety (WHS)
implications of using contractors. It involves identifying contractor duties, establishing organisational WHS
compliance requirements associated with those duties, establishing and communicating the requirements
expected of contractors, monitoring contractor compliance with WHS requirements, and implementing required
responses to identified non-compliance.
The unit applies to those who work in a broad range of WHS roles across all industries in organisations that use
contractors to supply services, including labour hire and temporary workers, cleaning, catering, security,
maintenance, repairs, installations and alterations, and major contracts and projects, as relevant to the
organisation. This includes casual and volunteer workers. It does not cover visitors, or outworkers or suppliers of
goods, materials or products to workplaces.
NOTES
1. 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 model WHS laws have not been
implemented, registered training organisations (RTOs) are advised to contextualise this unit of competency by
referring to existing WHS legislative requirements.
2. The model WHS laws include the model WHS Act, model WHS Regulations and model WHS Codes of
Practice. See Safe Work Australia for further information.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
