This course is designed to provide the knowledge required to recognise the workplace health and safety risks and hazards of working with Silica dust and implementing safe systems of work for the prevention of exposure limiting the effects of silicosis on worker health.
Work Health and Safety (WHS) is a relationship between the health of the employee and the safety issues of his/her working environment. WHS acknowledges the dual effect of the employer to provide a safe working environment and of the employee to fulfil his duties in a safe manner with neither party having a direct or indirect adverse effect on the health of self or others when working with dust.
The skills in this course must be applied in accordance with Commonwealth and State/Territory legislation, Australian/New Zealand standards and industry codes of practice.
