Management systems are the foundation of how an organisation operates, and define a risk based approach towards the management of threats and hazards. In this unit students will develop contemporary management systems skills and an understanding of issues in the development, implementation and improvement of an organisational OHS management system. Students will gain a detailed understanding of management systems architecture, as described by AS/ISO45001 (2018) – Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems. This unit comprises capstone assessments which enable students to apply their knowledge and skills from other units in this unit's assessments.
Students must pass HST1152 and HST2145
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students will engage in learning experiences via ECU’s LMS as well as additional ECU learning technologies
In this unit, students will gain experience in several skills which are frequently used by OHS/EH professionals, including performing a gap analysis of an organisational Management System, developing a response to gaps in the Management System and presenting a justification for improving the Management System. Students will engage in collaborative in class and online discussions to broaden both their understanding of the content and skills required to develop OHS Management Systems. Lecture materials will be complimented by in-class and online live tutorials at specific times during semester. The students will have the opportunity to engage with guest speakers, industry experts or site visits.

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry.

Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).
Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).
Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.
Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
