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 |
| |
1 | Define the context for the hazard analysis | 1.1 | Identify the scope and purpose of the hazard analysis |
| 1.2 | Access the relevant forms or procedures for conducting a hazard analysis |
| 1.3 | Identify specialised knowledge which may be required to conduct the hazard analysis |
2 | Identify hazards | 2.1 | Find out job steps to be undertaken |
| 2.2 | Identify hazards of job site |
| 2.3 | Obtain specialised knowledge required |
| 2.4 | Identify hazards for each job step |
| 2.5 | Enter information into appropriate forms in accordance with procedures |
3 | Assess risks | 3.1 | Estimate the potential severity/consequence of each identified hazard |
| 3.2 | Consider how hazards may cause harm |
| 3.3 | Estimate the likelihood/possible frequency of harm |
| 3.4 | Use the organisation’s risk matrix to prioritise each risk |
| 3.5 | Enter information into appropriate forms in accordance with procedures |
4 | Control risks | 4.1 | Apply organisation’s risk control procedures |
| 4.2 | Use the hierarchy of control so that risks are as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP) |
| 4.3 | Specify risk controls |
| 4.4 | Check the effectiveness of controls |
| 4.5 | Identify residual risk and implement any additional controls required |
| 4.6 | Enter information into appropriate forms in accordance with procedures. |
5 | Monitor and review risk controls | 5.1 | Monitor risk controls and review their effectiveness |
| 5.2 | Keep records in accordance with procedures |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and demonstrate the ability to:
complete a hazard analysis
specify risk controls to bring risks to ALARP
identify relevant personnel
complete appropriate hazard analysis forms (paper or electronic)
monitor and review effectiveness of risk controls.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
the significance of the analysis context
how the identified hazards may cause harm
purpose and use of the risk matrix
monitoring and review of risk controls.
The unit should be assessed holistically and the judgement of competence based on a holistic assessment of the evidence.
The collection of performance evidence is best done from a hazard analysis report and/or folio of evidence drawn from:
a single project which provides sufficient evidence of the requirements of all the elements and performance criteria
multiple smaller projects which together provide sufficient evidence of the requirements of all the elements and performance criteria.
A third-party report, or similar, may be needed to testify to the work done by the individual, particularly when the project has been done as part of a project team.
Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence (provided a record is kept) or through an independent process, such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept).
Where part of a broader role it may be conveniently co-assessed with units relevant to that broader job.
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
The regulatory framework will be reflected in workplace policies and procedures and is not required to be independently assessed.
Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately.
As a minimum, assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 assessor requirements.
