Description
This unit of competency covers identifying and assessing the WHS implications of effects used in interior decoration and design, including furniture, hard and soft materials and accessories, to determine potential hazards for a range of customer groups.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Identify principles of WHS
  • 1.1 Duty of care and responsibilities of individuals and organisations are defined
  • 1.2 Concepts of hierarchy of control are identified and related to the workplace
  • 1.3 Codes of practice relating to specific workplace risks are identified
  • 1.4 Importance of a systematic approach to WHS is understood
  • 1.5 Applicable WHS, legislative and organisational requirements relevant to interior decoration and design are identified
2 Assess WHS implications for interior decoration and design
  • 2.1 Hazards associated with materials used in interiors are identified
  • 2.2 Hazards associated with effects are identified
  • 2.3 Safety measures implemented to control hazards are identified and implications for interior decoration and design evaluated
  • 2.4 Information resources on safety aspects of materials, effects and technology used in interior decoration and design are identified and accessed
  • 2.5 Furniture and joinery ergonomics are assessed
3 Assess safety implications for customers
  • 3.1 Range of customers for interior decoration and design are identified and potential hazards for customers determined
  • 3.2 Safety measures implemented to control hazards to customers are identified and implications for decoration and design are evaluated
4 Assess risk
  • 4.1 Likelihood of hazards causing harm is considered and determined
  • 4.2 Consequence if the event should occur is evaluated and determined
  • 4.3 Risk level (likelihood and consequence combined) is considered and determined
5 Apply risk control measures to decoration and design solutions
  • 5.1 Project brief is analysed and potential safety issues identified
  • 5.2 Solutions are evaluated for WHS implications
  • 5.3 Range of options which may eliminate or minimise risks are identified
  • 5.4 Most appropriate treatment for addressing risk is selected and applied to solution
