Assessment guidelines for national occupational health and safety certification standard for users and operators of industrial equipment

The National Occupational Health and Safety Certification Standard for users and operators of industrial equipment (NOHSC: 1006 (1992)) specifies certification classes and competency standards for: scaffolding and rigging; crane and hoist operation; pressure and equipment operation. These assessment guidelines form the basis for assessments for attainment of OHS certificates of competence covered by the National OHS Certification Standard.

The guidelines were prepared by Peter Thomson and David Foreman. The National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (Worksafe Australia) funded the National Centre for Vocational Education Research to provide guidance in competency based assessment and to manage the assessment project. Show less
