    • 1.1 research and identify the following eight common elements of a health and safety management system:

      • 1.1.1 management, leadership and organizational commitment including policies, guidelines and responsibilities

      • 1.1.2 hazard identification and assessment

      • 1.1.3 hazard control

      • 1.1.4 worker competency and training including: technical competence, safe work practices and procedures, personal protective equipment

      • 1.1.5 work site inspection

      • 1.1.6 incident investigation

      • 1.1.7 emergency response

      • 1.1.8 management system administration including: evaluation, records and statistics, maintenance of system

    • 1.2 explain each of the elements reflecting on occupational health and safety implications

    • 1.3 define health and safety elements relevant to the world-of-work

    • 1.4 present a health and safety plan clarifying its relevance to the work world and society in general

  • 2 research common processes and methods of hazard identification, assessment and control specific to the pathway or series of courses

    • 2.1 research and identify common job site hazard identification processes
