HaSPA - Update on Core Body of Knowledge for the generalist OHS professional
A major initiative was the launch of the Victorian Code of Ethics and Minimum Service Standards for Professional Members of OHS Associations. The SIA is a proud signatory and is also a member of the Health and Safety Professionals Alliance (HaSPA) that developed this material in conjunction with WorkSafe Victoria and other Professional Associations and Educators.
The "Victorian Code of Ethics and Minimum Service Standards for Professional Members of OHS Associations" that have been developed by the Health and Safety Professionals Alliance (HaSPA) can be accessed from the WorkSafe Victoria website by clicking here!
The WorkSafe Position (section 12) on 'suitably qualified' (section 22(2)(b)) is available on the WorkSafe website for public comment.
All members and guests can use the search function on the web site (worksafe.vic.gov.au), and enter 'suitably qualified'.
The public comment period opened on 22 August and closes 18 September. More information, including how to make a submission, can be found on the web page.
