Application:
MSMPER300 – This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to issue work permits. It covers an understanding of the permit system and the limitations of each permit, and making decisions regarding the need for and correct use of each permit. This unit includes the issue of any and all permits. Permits are called ‘clearances’ by some organisations.
This unit of competency applies to personnel who are required to issue appropriate permits to work to persons conducting a variety of activities in workplace environments in which hazards exist or specific procedures need to be followed and monitored to protect the safety of personnel and the integrity of plant or process.
MSMWHS201 – This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to conduct a hazard analysis. These are typically called:
- job safety analysis (JSA)
- job hazard analysis (JHA)
- job safety and environmental analysis (JSEA)
- safe work method statement (SWMS)
It is not intended to apply to simpler routine hazard checks, such as ‘Take 5’, Step Back 5×5’, five step or similar.
This might be done as an independent activity in order to identify hazards and the appropriate hazard controls, or it might be done as part of a broader process, such as identifying and applying for the permits required for a job.
The conducting of a hazard analysis may be required under a safety case, by organisation procedures or simply as being good practice.
This unit of competency applies to an individual working alone or as part of a team/work group and working in liaison with other team members, as appropriate.
