INTRODUCTION:

Welcome to the Identify & Manage WHS Hazards Associated with Plant course. This course only includes a challenge assessment designed to assess your knowledge and skills required to demonstrate competence in identifying, assessing, recording, reporting, controlling, communicating and monitoring WHS hazards and risks associated with plant maintenance and use according to workplace plant information, organisational procedures, consultation requirements and WHS risk control requirements.

Identifying and managing WHS hazards associated with plant involves accessing relevant WHS information, data and advice, inspecting plant items, confirming how plant is used, identifying hazards arising from plant condition, suitability, location and abnormal situations, and consulting others to confirm plant-related hazard identification. This work is important because plant can create significant WHS risks when maintenance, use, condition, controls, competency requirements, registration, licensing or certification arrangements are not properly identified, assessed, communicated, monitored and recorded.

The course assessment focuses on your ability to identify WHS hazards associated with plant maintenance and use; access WHS information, data and advice; inspect plant and confirm use according to procedures; determine hazards from plant use, condition, suitability, location and abnormal situations; consult others to confirm hazards; record and report plant hazards; assess WHS risks and consult required personnel; record and report risk assessment outcomes; develop risk controls for safe maintenance and use; apply the hierarchy of control; consult internal and specialist personnel about controls; communicate workplace rights, obligations and duties; monitor, record and report control effectiveness; and manage plant registration, licensing, certification, training needs, skill gaps and training records.

By successfully completing this course assessment, you will have demonstrated that you can identify and manage WHS hazards associated with plant by accessing relevant information, inspecting plant use and condition, confirming hazards through consultation, assessing and documenting risks, selecting and communicating suitable controls, monitoring control effectiveness and managing plant-related registration, licensing, certification and training requirements.
