Assessment information and scope

Who is the final
assessment designed
for?
The final assessment is designed for candidates to demonstrate their

competency having completed formal learning experiences in this
unit. Candidates may be in a real or simulated workplace
environment. Candidates may be undertaking the unit in a range of
learning situations, including private study, via a traineeship
arrangement or via other workplace-supported means.
What are the aims of

the final assessment
tasks?
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to establish,

maintain and evaluate the organisations work health and safety
(WHS) policies, procedures and programs in the relevant work area,
according to WHS legislative requirements. It takes a systems
approach and addresses compliance with relevant legislative
requirements.
This unit applies to managers working in a range of contexts who
have, or are likely to have responsibility for WHS as part of their
broader management role. It is relevant for people with obligations
under WHS legislation, for example persons conducting a business or
undertaking (PCBUs) or officers, as defined by relevant legislation.
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.
The key outcomes are:
Establish a WHS management system in a work area

Establish and maintain effective and compliant participation
arrangements for managing WHS in a work area
Establish and maintain procedures for effectively identifying
hazards, and assessing and controlling risks in a work area
Evaluate and maintain a work area WHS management system
Prerequisites and
co-requisites
None
Legislative and
licensing requirements
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit

at the time of publication.

Part B Project: Ensuring a safe workplace at BizOps

Enterprises
Purpose

scenario-based project.
Task overview and context
You receive an email from Rose Hargreaves, Chief Executive

Officer.
Subject: Work health and safety management system
Hello,
As you are aware, BizOps Enterprisess main office that fronts the
main road is about to undergo a major refurbishment. Before any
work can commence, I need you to establish a work health and
safety management system (WHSMS) that meets legislative
requirements.
You will have to evaluate some of our current WHS policies and
procedures. You may need to develop other procedures and a
record-keeping system that ensures the work area (and therefore
the organisation) complies with WHS legislation. Throughout the
life of the project, you will be responsible for maintaining and
evaluating the WHSMS. Please refer to the project background,
provided below, for more information.
For further details on what I require you to include in your report,
please refer to the Instructions to the candidate section that
follows. I look forward to receiving your final report.
Kind regards,
Rose Hargreaves
Chief Executive Officer
Project background
Due to growth at BizOps Enterprises, we have decided to look at
how we can expand our head office by refurbishing and fitting
out the front building.
We will need to employ workers across a range of occupations
and trades, including engineers, plumbers, electricians,
carpenters and cabinet-makers, and painters. Nail guns,
jackhammers, power tools, elevated work platforms and
scaffolding, and a range of other building and construction
equipment will be used extensively.
The building being renovated fronts a busy street; construction
activities will need to ensure vehicle and pedestrian traffic is safe
and uninterrupted.
WHS system implementation and maintenance tasks over the
coming weeks leading up to commencement of work include:
confirming legislative requirements

identifying relevant roles and responsibilities
resourcing the WHS management system
establishing appropriate induction and training
providing participation and consultation arrangements for
establishing the WHS management system

Part D Observation
Purpose
The candidates work performance will be documented while being

observed by an assessor. This may be in a workplace or work placement.
Instructions to
the assessor
The following observation checklist is used to judge and record observations

of the candidate. Record your observations of the candidates performance
directly onto the checklist. You may record your observations during and/or
after the observation.
The observation checklist has a series of items related to the unit of
competency that form the evidence criteria. Instructions on how to make an
overall judgment of the satisfactory performance of the candidate are
provided within the checklist.
The checklist allows you to record that you have had the opportunity to
observe the candidate applying these skills and knowledge. All items on the
checklist must be observed in order to record a satisfactory performance.
You need to meet the following conditions:
The necessary materials and resources must be provided to the

candidate, and any concerns or questions the candidate has must be
clarified or answered before the observation commences.
The period of observation should be over a work period sufficient to
observe all the skills outlined in the checklist provided and to ensure that
the candidates performance is captured in full. This must be negotiated
