The Manufacturing-Specific Knowledge Areas describe specialized hazard and risk areas that an OHS professional working in the manufacturing sector needs to be effective. This section represents the risk areas that are prevalent in the manufacturing sector and which require additional expertise, above and beyond the Core Competency areas, in order to adequately address the OHS needs in the workplace. It is vital that OHS professionals possess sufficient knowledge and training to recognize each of these hazard areas and be able to apply the Core Competencies where relevant. While no OHS professional is expected to act as a subject matter expert in all of the Knowledge Areas, they must possess sufficient knowledge to identify when outside expertise is needed.
