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:
- safe@work(opens in a new window), or for students with disability and additional needs, A Job Well Done(opens in a new window)
- OHS training units of competency within the student’s VET program that are relevant to the placement.
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.
