List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions. |
1. | Identify general hazards and record them on JSA. | 1.1. | Job task, work site and compliance requirements are confirmed according to workplace procedures. |
| 1.2. | Work site is inspected, hazards relevant to job task are identified, and level of risk for each hazard is identified and noted. |
| | 1.3. | Job task is broken down into logical steps, and tools, equipment or plant, and materials to be used for each step are identified and recorded on JSA sheet. |
| | 1.4. | Potential work site and task-related hazards are identified for each step of the job task, and recorded on JSA sheet. |
| | | |
2. | Complete and check JSA. | 2.1 | Risk control strategies for each hazard in each step of the job task are identified according to the hierarchy of controls. |
| | 2.2 | Identified risk control strategies are discussed with relevant personnel, and those selected for implementation are recorded on JSA sheet. |
| | 2.3 | Work site and job task are reviewed immediately before starting work and JSA is discussed with relevant personnel and confirmed as still applicable, or amended as required. |
| | 2.4. | JSA is securely stored on site according to compliance requirements. |
| | | |
3. | Identify high risk work hazards and record them on SWMS. | 3.1. | Work site conditions or job task requirements that categorise construction work as high risk work are determined. |
| 3.2. | Job task, location and work methods are confirmed. |
| 3.3. | Work site is inspected according to safety and compliance requirements, and high risk work hazards relevant to job task are identified and noted. |
| | 3.4. | Job task is broken down into logical steps, and tools, equipment or plant, and materials to be used for each step are identified and recorded on SWMS. |
| | 3.5. | High risk work hazards are identified for each step of the job task, and recorded on SWMS. |
| | | |
4. | Complete and check SWMS. | 4.1 | Risk control strategies for each hazard in each step of the job task are identified according to the hierarchy of controls. |
| | 4.2 | Identified risk control strategies are discussed with relevant personnel, and those selected for implementation are recorded on SWMS. |
| | 4.3 | Work site and job task are reviewed immediately before starting work and SWMS is discussed with relevant personnel and confirmed as still applicable, or amended as required. |
| | 4.4. | SWMS is securely stored on site according to compliance requirements. |
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit. The person must also:
develop a new job safety analysis (JSA) for general hazards in consultation with relevant company personnel for two different job tasks on two different work sites
revise one of the JSA prior to starting work, identifying changed conditions and where appropriate, amending the JSA to reflect changed hazards and risk control strategies
develop a new safe work method statement (SWMS) for high-risk work in consultation with relevant company personnel for two different job tasks on two different work sites
revise one of the SWMS prior to starting work, identifying changed conditions and where appropriate, amending the SWMS to reflect changed hazards and risk control strategies.
In doing the above work, the person must:
inspect the work sites to identify potential hazards associated with work site and tasks
identify and review compliance with requirements relating to each work site and potential task-related hazards
consult with relevant personnel to select risk control strategies for both general hazards and high-risk work
document and store the above JSA and SWMS according to workplace requirements.
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must demonstrate knowledge of:
common hazards and causes of incidents and near misses on construction sites
compliance requirements in relation to identified job tasks and work sites
construction hand and power tools, and equipment and plant relevant to the identified job tasks, and requirements for their safe handling and operation
format and content requirements for JSA and SWMS
principles of the hierarchy of controls
purpose and application of safety data sheets (SDS) when working with different materials
risk management strategies relevant to identified job tasks specified in the performance evidence
types of construction methods and materials used in both general hazards and high-risk construction work and risk factors inherent in their use and application
use and application of the Safe Work Australia Model Code of Practice – Construction Work when identifying construction site hazards and selecting risk control strategies
use and meaning of construction terminology used on construction work sites relevant to identifying site hazards and selecting suitable risk control strategies.
Suitable assessment of performance requires:
equipment:
computer with internet access
contingencies:
changes in work conditions at one work site for a JSA and one work site for an SWMS, requiring a review and amendment of the JSA and SWMS
specifications:
Safe Work Australia Model Code of Practice – Construction Work
templates for documentation of JSA and SWMS
plain English guides to compliance requirements relevant to job tasks
physical conditions:
construction work sites for which JSA and SWMS are required
relationships with team members and supervisor:
consultation with team members and supervisor is required.
Assessor requirements
As a minimum, assessors must satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) current at the time of assessment.
