Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to MSAPCI103A Demonstrate care and apply safe practices at work
Application
This unit of competency covers the knowledge and skills needed to understand, apply and satisfy safe work practices in an industry. It includes identifying and following work procedures for hazards and risks, monitoring and maintaining cleanliness and tidiness at work, and reporting hazards and risks in appropriate ways. It applies to work health and safety (WHS) requirements and internal workplace policies and procedures.
This unit applies to learners seeking practical skills that are relevant and useful to the area in which the learner hopes to gain employment, is currently working, and/or as a pathway to further study.
This unit applies to a learning and assessment environment where access to normal production operations is not available. Typically this will be a VET in Schools delivery environment but it may be another simulated or trial manufacturing environment where a high degree of supervision exists. Students may be on work placement.
The unit has application in qualifications for all occupations in the manufacturing industry and it should be regarded as an integrating unit. When delivered/assessed as part of a qualification, the unit must be customised to ensure its relevance to real or simulated work activities and related workplaces.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
