Unit details

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to assist with managing the work health and safety (WHS) implications of using contractors. It involves identifying contractor duties, establishing organisational WHS compliance requirements associated with those duties, establishing and communicating the requirements expected of contractors, monitoring contractor compliance with WHS requirements, and implementing required responses to identified non-compliance.

The unit applies to those who work in a broad range of WHS roles across all industries in organisations that use contractors to supply services, including labour hire and temporary workers, cleaning, catering, security, maintenance, repairs, installations and alterations, and major contracts and projects, as relevant to the organisation. This includes casual and volunteer workers. It does not cover visitors, or outworkers or suppliers of goods, materials or products to workplaces.

Completion of the BSBWHS418 Assist with Managing WHS Compliance of Contractors will help you to develop new skills and knowledge in the following areas:

Preparing the WHS induction process for contractors
Participating in inspections to assess contractor compliance with WHS requirements
Identifying and documenting contractor WHS non-compliances
Escalating non-compliant matters according to company policies and procedures

This standalone unit derives from the BSB41419 Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety. Each student will have up to 3 months to successfully complete all training and assessment requirements in this training program. Need more guidance?
