Release 1 . This is the first release of this unit of competency in the TLI Transport and Logistics Training Package.

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to implement and monitor work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) procedures in compliance with relevant WHS/OHS regulations.

It includes accessing information about WHS/OHS workplace policies and procedures, and implementing and monitoring procedures for identifying and assessing hazards and controlling risks. It also includes planning and supervising housekeeping arrangements, and implementing and monitoring procedures for dealing with hazardous events.

Work is performed under some supervision generally within a team environment.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Not applicable.

Foundation skills essential to performance are explicit in the performance criteria of this unit of competency.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions can be found in the TLI Transport and Logistics Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

This unit replaces and is equivalent to TLIF3003A Implement and monitor occupational health and safety procedures.

• Minor statement changes in Assessment Conditions.

Release 1 . This is the first release of this unit of competency in the TLI Transport and Logistics Training Package.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include:

• applying relevant legislation and workplace procedures
• communicating and working effectively with others
• completing relevant documentation
• ensuring that precautions and required action are taken to minimise, control or eliminate identified hazards
• implementing contingency plans
• modifying activities depending on operational contingencies, risk situations and environments
• monitoring and prioritising work activities in terms of planned schedule
• operating electronic communications equipment to required protocol
• reading, interpreting and following relevant instructions, procedures
• reporting and/or rectifying identified problems, faults or malfunctions promptly in accordance with regulatory requirements and workplace procedures
• selecting and using required personal protective equipment (PPE) conforming to industry and work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) standards.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

• emergency and evacuation procedures
• HAZCHEM symbols and implications for safe work and storage
• hierarchy of risk controls
• housekeeping standards and procedures
• location and use of safety alarms, manifests, emergency shut-off systems and emergency communications systems
• manual and mechanically operated lifting and load shifting procedures
• procedures for storing and using flammable materials
• procedures for storing and using hazardous substances
• relevant WHS/OHS procedures and guidelines
• reporting procedures for unsafe situations, fire hazards, broken or damaged equipment or fittings, sickness and accidents
• risks when using manually-operated equipment to shift loads and related precautions to control these risks
• signs and signals for WHS/OHS warnings
• site layout and obstacles
• terms used in safety data sheets (SDS)/material safety data sheets (MSDS)
• transport requirements for transporting goods within a workplace.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment include access to:

• a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations
• relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and PPE currently used in industry
• applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.
