Overview of assessment

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

Evidence of the ability to

work effectively and professionally within organisation riskmanagement systems and objectives and comply with legislative requirements to undertake risk assessments that are appropriate for specific activities and locations

work within parameters of own job role and responsibilities to assess select and where appropriate resource viable risktreatment options and develop and implement a risktreatment plan consistent with organisation policies and procedures within required timeframes

document and monitor the risktreatment plan and contribute to the review of processes and outcomes

access and clarify information to inform application of riskanalysis procedures

Due to issues such as differences in risk associated with different client groups different equipment different locations and different environmental conditions this unit of competency must be assessed through the analysis of risk associated with more than one activity or one activity with different client groups and or in different locations in order to ensure consistency of performance over the range statement and contexts applicable to risk analysis of activities

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure

development and implementation of a risktreatment plan for specific activities relevant to the individuals current or intended work environment to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance

Assessment must also ensure access to

an environment or facility appropriate to the specific activity

support staff locations and resources to implement riskcontrol measures

organisation policies and procedures related to risk analysis of activities

organisation reporting requirements

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge The following examples are appropriate for this unit

observation of applying organisational riskanalysis procedures to activities and locations

oral and or written questioning to assess the knowledge of riskanalysis techniques and evacuation skills in relation to riskassessment methodologies

thirdparty reports from a supervisor detailing work performance over multiple applications

portfolio of records and reports documenting risktreatment plans and outcomes

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector workplace and job role is recommended for example
