$599.00 AUD Price excludes GST


Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to apply safe design principles to control work health and safety (WHS) risks in a product’s life cycle. It involves engaging at different points of the supply chain to provide advice based on safe design principles. The central feature of safe design is the application of relevant information and data about human experience, capabilities and behaviour to the design of objects, facilities, procedures and environments that people use.

The unit applies to those who apply the principles of safe design in their organisation, which may be at one or more stages of the product’s life cycle, including procurement, installation, operation and disposal. Products may refer to plant, tools and equipment. The application of safe design principles aims to eliminate or minimise hazards and their associated risks before an existing product, or a product being developed or modified, is introduced into the workplace.

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. For the purposes of this unit of competency ‘safe design’ refers to a process defined as the integration of hazard identification and risk assessment methods to eliminate or minimise the risk of injury throughout the life cycle of plant, tool or equipment being designed.

3. For the purposes of this unit of competency a ‘product’ refers to any plant, tool or equipment.

4. 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.
