1 Changing Landscape for WHS Professionals/Practitioners in Australia Presented by Colin Chua CPMSIA Safety Health and Wellbeing Safety Institute of Australia The University of Sydney Page 1
2 THE BODY OF KNOWLEDGE (BoK) PROJECT The University of Sydney Page 2
3 OHS Body of Knowledge (BoK) Project A journey of a thousand mile begins with a single step Occupational Health and Safety Act (Victoria) Review March 2004 In its submission to the Review, the Authority said: Many duty holders engage consultants to assist them to resolve OHS issues. While many consultants provide competent expert service to their clients, a number of duty holders have raised concerns about poor service that they have received. Examples of poor advice include duty holders paying several thousands of dollars for a range of material that appears to have been downloaded from websites with minimal tailored information for the business; information provided that is unusable by the client. The VWA is aware that some OHS consultants have been sued for poor performance by those who have contracted them. This industry may benefit from some form of industry based accreditation scheme, similar to those operating in the accounting field, so that consumers can gain a level of confidence about the consultants that they may engage. (Chris Maxwell, 2004). The University of Sydney Page 3
4 OHS Body of Knowledge (BoK) Project Why the project is necessary? No regulatory framework or education/experience requirements for employment Substantial variation in OHS courses provided by universities No benchmark for assessing competency of those giving OHS professional advice Funded ($390,000) by WorkSafe Victoria in 2009; The University of Sydney Page 4
5 OHS Body of Knowledge (BoK) So what is the BoK? - Not a text book - Not a program of study or a curriculum - Not competency statements Definition Collective knowledge required by Australian OHS Professionals to provide a sound basis of understanding the causation and control of work-related fatality, injury, disease and ill-health (FIDI). It also provides a basis for professional certification and for accreditation of programs giving entry to the profession. The University of Sydney Page 5
6 OHS Body of Knowledge (BoK) Outputs Development Phase 1 1. Define and describes the core knowledge expected of Generalist OHS Professionals Implementation Phase 2 2. Develop and implement accreditation criteria and process for OHS professional education programs 3. Develop a certification process for OHS professionals The University of Sydney Page 6
7 Development Phase 1 (core knowledge) What knowledge does a Generalist OHS Professional Need? Global Concepts Work Health Safety Technical Concepts a) Science b) Law (OHS, industrial, contract) c) Socio-political context d) Organisational behaviour and design e) Psychology and behaviour f) System design and management g) Causation h) Hazards i) Controls j) Risk Practice The University of Sydney Page 7
8 Implementation Phase 1 (accreditation program) Establishment of Australian OHS Education Accreditation Board in Accredit OHS professional education programs 2. Accreditation provides guidance for students, employers and recruiters in assessing education, staff, and industry qualifications; OHS Program Register List The University of Sydney Page 8
9 Implementation Phase 2 ( professional certification) The University of Sydney Page 9
10 Implementation Phase 2 ( professional certification) The University of Sydney Page 10
11 Issues Driving Certification 1. Varied competence in the profession 2. Lack of clarity of knowledge required for generalist role 3. Inconsistent education (level, content, delivery) 4. Unqualified/ inexperienced working without supervision 5. Lack of selection criteria for consumers 6. Poor role clarity of generalist role 7. Poor professional boundaries across the safety profession The University of Sydney Page 11
12 Legal Obligations AUSTRALIAN LAW A clear obligation for employers to demonstrate due diligence when obtaining advice about health and safety and its management. A key element of meeting the reasonably practicable test is demonstrating what information has been obtained to determine what measures can be implemented to eliminate or reduce risks. SAFE WORK AUSTRALIA While certification is not mandated under the model legislation, the Australian Work Health and Safety Strategy has this strategic outcome: business having access to suitable advice and that those providing work health and safety education, training and advice have the appropriate capabilities. Action Areas Health and safety capabilities Strategic Outcomes Those providing WHS education, training and advice have the appropriate capabilities. WHS skills development is integrated effectively into relevant education and training programs The University of Sydney Page 12
13 What Certification Achieves Certainty to consumers; Demonstration of due diligence by clients; Recognition of role, education, knowledge and experience; Recognition of the Practitioner and Professional roles; International comparability. The University of Sydney Page 13
14 Generalist OHS Professional Certification 1. Establishment of Australian OHS Professional Certification Board 2. Reflecting ISO Certification of People 3. Certification considers and assesses * Experience * Qualifications * Capability 4. 4 categories, not levels The University of Sydney Page 14
