This is the Plus in the Manual Handling Plus Training – and is focused on how to work effectively in manufacturing and engineering work situations, including planning routine work and participating in and following work health and safety (WHS) procedures. The unit applies to working either individually or in a team situation and includes contributing to work-related group activities in a manufacturing or engineering workplace – since this environment often has risks and operations that are unique. You will develop core WHS skills associated with carrying out routine operational activities safely and in compliance with relevant requirements. Additionally, you will develop the skills associated with effective participation in quality systems, communication and cooperation with others – irrespective of the informal or formal quality management and improvement systems in place.
