and

OHS & RPL

In a nutshell...This project up-skills and

qualifies Bovis Lend Lease

staff in the Certificate IV in

OHS through a guided online

RPL process. It identifies

gaps in current competence

and enables Bovis Lend Lease

to develop specific training

programs to meet this need.

The problemDeaths and serious injuries

occur in the construction

industry and OHS KPI’s

indicate many incidents may

have been avoided if staff

were more skilled in their

roles and responsibilities in

the implementation of OHS

management systems.
