Purpose

The purpose of this assessment item is to give you an opportunity to conduct a general workplace inspection within a domestic or light-to-medium industrial environment. During the process you will develop valuable practical skills such as

hazard identification, risk assessment, control and monitoring skills. You will become acquainted with OHS legislation and other OHS codes, standards and guidelines. Formal report writing will hone written communication skills and develop various administrative skills required of an OHS Professional.

MULTIMEDIA ALERT: Please ensure you do not submit multimedia content containing illegal (e.g., drug utensils) ad/or offensive material. Uploading such material would be a breach of the Student Charter and depending on the content

staff may have a professional obligation to notify relevant authorities.

3. Reflections on professional practice (10%)

The Board of Directors of the International Network of Safety and Health Practitioner Organisations (INSHPO) established a Global OHS Capability Framework to provide greater clarity around the generalist OHS positions by defining levels of practice, roles and what capabilities, knowledge and skills they would require to be effective. Your task is to:

• Use the skill list in Section Six of the INSHPO OHS Capabilities Framework to map your current skill levels (1 to 4) across each of the performance criteria. This should be presented in a matrix format (see Moodle for a template).
• Based on this mapping exercise, self-analyse where you are positioned for each skill (i.e. 1 = Awareness, 2 = Routine Application, 3 = Skilled Application, and 4 = Creative Mastery)
• Based on the analysis, identify the skill gaps or areas for improvement that you may have.
• Reflect on these results and outline an action plan that will help you develop your OHS professional skills for the future and more immediately for your third-year studies.
• Create a project in your ePortfolio and submit it before or by the due date.
