Implement and monitor safety and risk management in a motorsport environment

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit applies to individuals who undertake a leadership role to promote and monitor the application of safe work practices and control of risks within teams of officials, contractors and volunteers in motorsport events, including practice sessions. They have a key role in ensuring the safe conduct of events and in influencing the ongoing safety of the workplace.

Under OHS law, all organisations must ensure the health, safety and welfare at work of all employees and the safety of people, other than their workers, who may be present at the workplace. In the motorsport industries, the workplace would include any location where an event is held and 'others' would include contractors, volunteers, competitors and spectators.

This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to implement predetermined occupational health and safety (OHS) policies and procedures and to monitor OHS practices and manage risks as a supervisory function.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:

provide information and clear explanations to team members on health, safety and control of risks

monitor ongoing compliance of team with safe work practices

take prompt and appropriate action to address non-compliance with safe work practices

provide advice on hazards in the work area and support the implementation of procedures to control risks

participate in procedures for monitoring and improving safety and risk management policies

accurately record and report OHS risks and hazards using standard proformas or documentation

provide advice on OHS training needs of individuals and workgroup.

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that reflects as far as possible the actual working environment.

Assessment is to occur using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory requirements, including specified Australian standards.

Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.

The following resources should be made available:

access to legislative and organisational information on OHS policies and procedures

access to suitable motorsport events

NCR and event supplementary regulations

applicable personal protection and safety equipment and resources.

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of this Training Package.

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of Required Skills and Knowledge.

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on Required Skills and Knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application.

Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process.

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.

Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role.

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally sensitive and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
