Update - June 2011 Innovation Business Skills Australia (IBSA) has commissioned Kerry Jennings and Ross Armstrong to undertake a review of the Occupational Health and Safety Qualifications and units of competency contained within the BSB07 Business Service Training Package. May 2011 Innovation and Business Skills Australia (IBSA) has undertaken a preliminary scoping review of the occupational health and safety (OHS) qualifications and units within the Business Services Training Package (BSB07). The scoping review has now been finalised and the final report is available here. The scoping review identified a number of areas within the BSB07 OHS units and qualifications that will require attention in the short-medium term. The current process of OHS legislative harmonisation provides a further stimulus to undertake a review of the BSB07 OHS units and qualifications, but also places constraints on the timing for such a review. Ideally the major parts of the next phase of the review should be undertaken and changes agreed in time for implementation in conjunction with or shortly after the implementation of the new WHS legislation in January 2012. We have therefore scheduled the next phase of the review to commence in the early part of 2011. IBSA would like to thank everyone for contributing to the outcomes of the scoping review and will be contacting you when the next phase commences. |
