3.2 | Staff competency requirements to implement security plan are addressed with required training |
3.3 | Equipment and needs for improvements are allocated and/or obtained |
3.4 | Storage security plan, policies and procedures are trialled in conjunction with a system for feedback to identify and suggest further improvements |
4 | Monitor and review storage security plan performance | 4.1 | Security reports are collated and categorised |
4.2 | Reports are compared to identify trends in breaches |
4.3 | Security procedures are modified to rectify identified gaps |
Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations, current at the time of assessment.
Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.
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.
Resources for assessment include:
a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulations
relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry
applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.
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.
