What do I think of the evidence requirements?
I have followed the OTEN learner´s guide for TAA ENV 403A. I have completed Session 1.
The evidence requirements clearly states the assessment requirements for this unit of study.
I do not think that there will be any issue in providing the required evidence. Step 1 of the Project guide has enabled me to identify OHS responsibilities.

I have read through the required knowledge for the the relevant policies, OHS Act, Codes of practice for NSW. I am aware of the OHS roles and responsibilities for employers, RTO, managers etc and the legislative requirement for safe workplaces, record keeping related to OHS and the need to inform and consult in relation to safety. I also understand what is the required knowledge for this unit. The OHS documentation provided in the course has covered these areas sufficiently.

I have worked as a HR professional and I have already had some experience in dealing with legislative requirement of OHS in the workplace.

What did I think of the OHS Documentation?
The documentation regarding OHS was quite thorough in its content. Although some of the links did not work for the external sites, i was able to navigate my way around this issue and find the required documentation.

Questions for facilitator
Is the content in the Journal inline with what is expected?
Based on my understanding, we are able to use the OLS toolbox case study rather than using our own workplace is this correct?

Two things in the project guide that are new to me:
Identifying hazards in the learning environment for the Clothing productions industry and and assessing their risks.

Two things in the project guide that are familiar:
I am familiar with the OHS responsibilities and the reporting requirements, but i look forward to learning more about the whole process:

1. Identify OHS responsibilities
2. Identify hazards in the learning environment
3. Assess the risks in the learning environment
   
4. develop and implement actions to ensure the Health and Safety and Welfare (HSW) of learners and others and provide appropriate OHS requirements to learners
5. Report requirements.
