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 identifies the critical aspects, knowledge and skills to be demonstrated to confirm competence for this unit. This is an integral part of the assessment of competence and should be read in conjunction with the Range Statement.
Critical Aspects of Evidence

Workplace coaching (informal feedback) coupled with formal performance feedback, resulting in performance improvement
OHS considerations may include:
establishment and maintenance of OHS training, records, induction processes
performance against OHS legislation and organisation's OHS system, especially policies, procedures and work instructions
Underpinning Knowledge*
* At this level the learner must demonstrate understanding of a broad knowledge base incorporating theoretical concepts, with substantial depth in some areas.
Relevant legislation from all levels of government that affects business operation, especially in regard to Occupational Health and Safety and environmental issues, equal opportunity, industrial relations and anti-discrimination
Relevant awards and certified agreements
Performance measurement systems utilised within the organisation
Key result areas of the organisation

Assessment of performance requirements in this unit should be undertaken in an actual workplace or simulated environment
Assessment should reinforce the integration of the key competencies and the business services common competencies for the particular AQF level. Refer to the Key Competency Levels at the end of this unit
