NOTES

1. For the purposes of this unit of competency ‘occupational hygiene’ refers to the use of science and engineering to measure the extent of worker exposure to something in the work environment that has the potential to cause harm. An occupational hygiene approach to WHS risks uses science and engineering to design and implement appropriate risk control strategies to prevent ill health caused by the work environment.

2. 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.

3. 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.
