306: Develop risk assessment reports

OHS professionals are often responsible for providing ongoing and as-needed reporting on workplace risk. This may include formal reports regarding risk assessments, incident statistics, and project progress. In order to develop these types of reports, an OHS professional demonstrates the effective use of risk-related data (from both internal and external sources), tools for trend analysis, and workplace documentation regarding workplace risk. They must be able to use a range of qualitative and quantitative approaches to assess risk, depending on the type of reporting required.
