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.

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

Assessment must confirm sufficient knowledge of relevant occupational health and safety regulations, statutory legislation and organisational safety procedures and risk management plan

Assessment must confirm the ability to apply knowledge of the organisations' emergency procedures, techniques and operating parameters to conduct a risk analysis of individual activities in accordance with the organisation’s risk management procedures, taking into account all categories of the range of variables statement applicable to the learner’s work environment

In particular, assessment must confirm the ability to effectively implement a structured analysis methodology to a particular recreation activity and clearly and concisely document analysis results and recommendations

Resource implications

Assessment of this competency requires access to case studies, scenarios and incident reports

Assessment of this competency will require human resources consistent with those outlined in the Assessment Guidelines

Consistency in performance

Competence in this unit must be assessed over a period of time in order to ensure consistency of performance over the range of variables and contexts applicable to a recreation workplace

Context for assessment

Competency must be demonstrated on-the-job or in a realistic simulated work environment

Assessment of this unit of competence will usually include observation of processes and procedures, oral and/or written questioning on underpinning knowledge and skills and consideration of required attitudes

In cases where the learner does not have the opportunity to cover all relevant categories of the range of variables statements in the work environment, the remainder should be assessed through realistic simulations, projects, previous relevant experience or oral questioning on "What if?" scenarios

Where performance is not directly observed and/or is required to be demonstrated over a "period of time" and/or in a "number of locations", any evidence should be authenticated by colleagues, supervisors, clients or other appropriate persons

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level required for this unit.

Essential knowledge:

The candidate must be able to demonstrate essential knowledge required to effectively perform task skills; task management skills; contingency management skills and job/role environment skills as outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit

These include knowledge of:

Common risk management terminology

The role of risk as a reason for participating in or using recreation activities

Factors that affect an individual’s perception of risk

Effect of legislation on procedures and practices in the recreation industry

Causes of accidents, incidents and losses, in a recreation context

Impact of high profile accidents/incidents/losses

Legal responsibilities in risk management

Knowledge of the activity for analysis

Equipment design limits and effects of operating outside design limits

Essential skills:

Application of incident scenarios logically and structurally

Analysis and documentation of research

The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.

Areas of impact

Asset and resource base of the organisation and including personnel

Revenue and entitlements

Costs of activities both direct and indirect

People/community

Performance

Timing and schedule of activities

The environment

Intangibles such as reputation, goodwill, quality of life

Organisational behaviour

Classification of risk

Diseases affecting humans, animals and plants

Economic perils (eg, currency fluctuations, interest rates, share market)

Environmental (eg, noise, contamination, pollution)

Financial (eg, contractual risks, misappropriation of funds, fraud, fines)

Human perils (eg, explosions, riots, strikes, sabotage)

Natural perils (eg, climatic conditions, earthquakes, bushfires, vermin, volcanic activity)

Occupational health and safety (eg, inadequate safety measures, poor safety management)

Product liability (eg, design error, substandard quality control, inadequate testing)

Professional liability (eg, wrong advice, negligence, design error)

Property damage (eg, fire, water damage, earthquakes, contamination, human error)

Public liability (eg, public access, egress and safety)

Security (eg, cash arrangements, vandalism, theft, misappropriation of information, illegal entry)

Technology (eg, obsolescence, advances and failure)

Risk analysis applies to

Support equipment

Personnel safety

Environmental impact

Processes

Sources of risk

Commercial and legal relationships between the organisation and other organisations (eg, suppliers, subcontractors, lessees)

Economic circumstances of the organisation, country, internationally as well as factors contributing to those circumstances (eg, exchange rates)

Human behaviour of both those involved and those not involved in the organisation

Natural events

Political circumstances including legislative changes and factors which may influence other sources of risk

Technology and technical issues both internal and external to the organisation

Management activities and controls

Individual activities

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.

Observation Checklist

Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice Yes No Comments/feedback
1.1 Organisations' activity/location/equipment maintenance and operational procedures are obtained 
Activity/location/equipment operating and maintenance history is obtained including relevant incident and failure reports 
Applicable occupational health and safety and environmental standards are researched 
Applicable technical documentation is obtained 
Risk criteria, as determined by the organisation’s risk management policy and plan, are accessed and clarified 
A comprehensive list of sources of risks within the particular activity is generated, including risks that are not under the control of the organisation 
Areas of impact on the organisation are taken into consideration 
Possible causes of risks are considered 
Sources of risk and areas of impact are documented in a clear and concise manner 
3.1 Analysis is completed using appropriate methodology in accordance with organisations' and/or activity requirements 
Existing control, likelihood and consequences are determined 
Level of risk is compared to previously established risk criteria 
Level of risks are compared against previously established risk criteria and decisions made as to whether risks can be accepted 
Risks are prioritised, taking account of the wider context of the risk 
Consideration is given to the tolerability of the risks borne by parties other than the organisation that benefits from it 
Risks that fall into the low or acceptable categories may be accepted without further treatment, monitored and periodically reviewed to ensure they remain acceptable 
Risks that fall outside the low or acceptable category are treated using a range of options 
Risk treatment options are identified such as retaining the risk, reducing the likelihood of occurrence, reducing the consequence or transferring the risk 
Risk treatment options are evaluated in accordance with the organisation’s risk management plan, on the basis of the extent of risk reduction, the extent of benefits or opportunities created and taking into account the risk criteria previously established 
Risk treatment plans are prepared identifying responsibilities, schedules, the expected outcome of treatments, budgeting, performance measures and the review process set in place 
Risk analysis and treatment options are documented, in accordance with the organisation’s procedures 
Risk treatment plans are implemented prior to and during the conduct of an activity
