Course Description

This unit covers the mandatory requirements of persons in a supervisory role to implement and monitor an organisation’s occupational health and safety policies, procedures and programs. It encompasses understanding an organisation’s OHS obligations, providing safety information to staff, implementing and monitoring participative arrangements, safety procedures and training and maintaining safety records.


National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:

UEENEEE017B Implement and monitor OHS policies and procedures

Element:

1. Provide OHS information to the work group.

Performance Criteria:

1.1 Relevant provisions of occupational health and safety legislation and codes of practice are accurately and clearly explained to the work group.
1.2 Information on the organisation’s occupational health and safety policies, procedures and programs is provided in a readily accessible manner and is
accurately and clearly explained to the work group.
1.3. Information about identified hazards and the outcomes of risk assessment and risk control procedures is regularly provided and is accurately and clearly explained to the work group

Element:

2. Implement and monitor participative arrangements for the management of OHS.

Performance Criteria:

2.1 Organisational procedures for consultation over occupational health and safety issues are implemented and monitored to ensure that all members of the work group have the opportunity to contribute.
2.2 Issues raised through consultation are dealt with and resolved promptly or referred to the appropriate personnel for resolution in accordance with
workplace procedures for issue resolution.
2.3 The outcomes of consultation over occupational health and safety issues are made known to the work group promptly

Element:

3. Implement and monitor the procedures for identifying hazards, assessing risk and controlling risks.

Performance Criteria:

3.1 Existing and potential hazards in the work area are identified and reported so that risk assessment and risk control procedures can be applied.
3.2 Work procedures to control risks are implemented and adherence to them by the work group is monitored in accordance with workplace procedures.
3.3 Existing procedures to control risks are implemented and adherence to them by the work group is monitored in accordance with workplace
procedures.
3.4 Inadequacies in existing risk control measures are identified in accordance with the hierarchy of control and reported to designated personnel.
3.5 Inadequacies in resource allocation for implementation of risk control measures identified and reported to designated personnel.

Element:

4. Implement the procedures for dealing with hazardous events.

Performance Criteria:

4.1 Workplace procedures for dealing with hazardous events are implemented whenever necessary to ensure that prompt control action is taken.
4.2 Hazardous events are investigated to identify their cause in accordance with investigation procedures.

4.3 Control measures to prevent recurrence and minimise risks of hazardous events are implemented based on the hierarchy of control if within scope of responsibilities and competencies or alternatively referred to designated personnel for implementation.

Element:

5. Implement and monitor the procedures for OHS training.

Performance Criteria:

5.1 Occupational health and safety training needs are identified accurately, specifying gaps between occupational health and safety competencies required and those held by work group members.
5.2 Arrangements are made for fulfilling identified occupational health and safety training needs in both on and off-the-job training programs in consultation with relevant parties.

Element:

6. Implement and monitor the procedures for maintaining OHS records.

Performance Criteria:

6.1 Occupational health and safety records for work area are accurately and legibly completed in accordance with workplace requirements for occupational health and safety records and legal requirements for the maintenance of records of occupational injury and disease.


Learning Outcomes



Details of Learning Activities

The student must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of a particular competency to be deemed competent. Assessment methods have been designed to measure achievement of each competency in a flexible manner over a range of assessment tasks.

Assessment will incorporate a variety of methods including technical requirements, documentation, written tests, practical problem solving exercises, presentations, project planning, construction, implementation, testing and finalisation.

Learning and simulated work activities to demonstrate an understanding of Occupational Health and Safety, which includes:
 Classroom learning activities involve the following topics:
 OH&S Fundamentals
 The work environment
 Physical Hazards

 Work simulated exercises involving project:
  planning,
  Management
  Implementation
