Description
Learner Guide with Unit Content, Assessment Tasks, Competency Records, Benchmark Answers and Assessment Mapping for BSBWHS616 Apply safe design principles to control WHS risks.
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.
