CPPWMT4050A
Deliver training in hazard identification and waste emergency responses

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency supports experienced workers or supervisors who are demonstrating work skills in the workplace. The focus of this instruction is usually on specific learner and organisational requirements, including workplace induction, learning how to operate new waste equipment, developing new skills at work, improving efficiency and effectiveness, and following safety processes and procedures.

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to conduct staff training in hazard identification and waste emergency responses. It requires the ability to train small groups and impart knowledge of occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and practices through demonstration of work skills.

This unit is based on TAADEL301C Provide training through instruction and demonstration of work skills.

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

Prerequisites

Not applicable.


Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.




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, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

This unit of competency could be assessed by observation of practical demonstration in the workplace or in a simulated environment of conducting training on hazard identification and waste emergency responses.

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 the required skills and knowledge specified in this unit.

In particular the person should demonstrate the ability to:

apply knowledge of waste emergency response processes and hazard identification

plan learning programs suitable to different learner styles

train staff in emergency response processes and hazard identification

review training conducted and update training records.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge may be conducted in an off-site context. It is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards’ requirements.

Resource implications for assessment include:

work plans and approved specifications

forms and procedures manuals

reports.

Method of assessment

Training in waste emergency response and hazard identification must comply with industry expectations in the particular client environment. If the environment is narrowly defined or is not representative of industry needs, it may be necessary to refer to portfolio case studies to assess competency in training staff in this field.

Assessment methods must:

satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the Property Services Training Package

include direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions, with questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application

reinforce the integration of employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles

confirm that competency is verified and able to be transferred to other circumstances and environments.

Guidance information for assessment

Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support.

Assessment processes and techniques should as far as is practical take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed.

This unit could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units relevant to the job function, for example:

CPPCMN3001B Participate in environmentally sustainable work practices

CPPWMT3011A Respond to waste emergencies

CPPWMT3044A Identify wastes and hazards.
