CPPACC5007A
Apply mechanics of human body functions to accessible building design and fitout

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit of competency supports a number of access consulting services associated with the design and fitout of accessible buildings and the accessibility of the built environment.

This unit specifies the competency required to apply knowledge of human anatomy, body function and the functional limitations that result from impairment of the various body systems to the design of an accessible environment.

The application of this unit requires knowledge of human anatomy including the brain and nervous system, the musculoskeletal system, the eye and the ear. Knowledge of the consequences of dysfunction of the various body systems will be necessary for the access consultant to provide advice on appropriate design solutions for achieving an accessible environment.

The access consultant may work alone or contribute to a team.

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

Evidence Required

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.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, the range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

Overview of assessment

This unit of competency could be assessed on its own or as part of an integrated assessment activity involving other competencies relevant to the job function.

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

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of:

recognising the needs and desires of people with disabilities to engage fully in all aspects of society, and their right to do so

interpreting accurately the impacts of the full range of disabilities and the limitations that each disability places on the individual's ability to access the environment

interpreting accurately how the full range of environmental barriers impact on any of the impairments that people with disabilities might have

identifying functional systems of the human body and their behaviour, and recording data accurately in preparation for analysis

analysing human body systems data using appropriate statistical methodologies

conducting comparative analysis on anatomical and impairment data of human body systems derived from defined population and published accessibility design data

identifying design solutions to architectural barriers that impact on people with impairment of body systems

applying organisational management policies and procedures, including quality assurance requirements.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Resource implications for assessment include:

a registered provider of assessment services

competency standards

assessment materials and tools

suitable assessment venue/equipment

workplace documentation

candidate special requirements

cost and time considerations.

Validity and sufficiency of evidence requires that:

competency will need to be demonstrated over a period of time reflecting the scope of the role

where the assessment is part of a structured learning experience the evidence collected must relate to a number of performances assessed at different points in time and separated by further learning and practice with a decision of competence only taken at the point when the assessor has complete confidence in the person's competence

all assessment that is part of a structured learning experience must include a combination of direct, indirect and supplementary evidence

where assessment is for the purpose of recognition (RCC/RPL), the evidence provided will need to be current and show that it represents competency demonstrated over a period of time

assessment can be through simulated project-based activity and must include evidence relating to each of the elements in this unit.
