HBS4/5WAM Workplace applications of monitoring and assessment methods

Credit Points:  15


In this unit, students participate in a range of activities that will enable them to develop practical skills in selecting and applying some of the methods learned in HBS4/5EAM. Students review a series of generic case studies, each detailing a range of different types of work-related hazards. For a subset of these cases they select one or more assessment methods appropriate for application in a workplace to which they have access (e.g. their own). Selected methods are then used to collect and analyse data and report findings, including recommendations for future workplace interventions.


Prerequisites: HBS4/5WDH, HBS4/5ERG, OCT4OHA, and OCT4OHC – or units approved by the course coordinator as equivalent to these
