Student understanding of OHS requirements
Prior to commencing school community work, the student should successfully complete an OHS program recommended by the department and relevant to the industry in which they are volunteering.
The department recommends the following OHS programs:
- OHS modules in the student’s VET course that are relevant to the placement
- the Workplace Learning – a resource that provides young people with information about the world of work.
The school should also ensure that its volunteer student workers have been given appropriate information on workplace discrimination, bullying and harassment by the host organisation.
