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, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit: knowledge and understanding of the laws and regulations relating to OHS in the workplace, including relevant industry safety guidelines (as detailed above) ability to monitor health and safety within the context of an established system where policies, procedures and programs already exist. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | The assessment context must provide for: project or work activities conducted over a period of time so that the implementation and monitoring aspects of the unit can be assessed involvement of and interaction with a team for which the candidate coordinates OHS issues. |
Method of assessment | Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include: evaluation of reports prepared by the candidate detailing how OHS issues were addressed in a given project or work activity evaluation of projects conducted by the candidate to address OHS issues in a given workplace case studies and problem solving exercises to develop OHS responses to different workplace situations review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate. Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling). |
Guidance information for assessment | Assessment of this unit requires access to: relevant occupational health and safety acts, regulations and codes of practices organisation's occupational health and safety policies and procedures. |

Required skills |
organisational OHS management systems, policies and procedures necessary to ensure OHS regulatory compliance, including procedures for: communicating about OHS issues consulting and allowing participation over OHS issues identifying and reporting on hazards, eg through inspections assessing risks controlling risks monitoring risk control measures reporting budgetary and resource needs responding to and dealing with hazardous events OHS training OHS record keeping and collection and use of incident data |
Required knowledge |
general knowledge of relevant industry safety guidelines as they apply to particular areas of work, e.g. Screen Producers' Association of Australia, Safety Guidelines for the Entertainment Industry, Film Industry Recommended Safety Code and Safety Guidance Notes provisions of OHS Acts, regulations and codes of practice relevant to the workplace, including legal responsibilities of employers, employees and other parties with legal responsibilities principles and practices of effective OHS management, such as: the hierarchy of control elements of an effective OHS management system participation and consultation over OHS incident investigation risk management approaches hazards which exist in the workplace and: the range of control measures available for these hazards considerations for choosing between different control measures, such as possible inadequacies with particular control measures |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. 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) may also be included. | |
Information may cover the following areas: | assistance with work tasks consultation with health and safety representatives and OHS committees direct supervision where necessary, e.g. for inexperienced workers hazards and risk management procedures legislation and codes of practice, e.g. relating to hazards in the work area the induction of new workers the nature of work and tasks, procedures and the limits to worker authority |
This competency is to be exhibited in accordance with all relevant OHS legislation, particularly: | general duty of care under State/Territory legislation and common law health and safety representatives and/or occupational health and safety committees and issue resolution provision of information and training regulations and codes of practice relating to hazards present in the work area requirements for the maintenance and confidentiality of records of occupational injury and disease State/Territory OHS Acts, regulations and codes of practice |
Relevant workplace procedures may be: | formally documented or communicated verbally general to the management of the enterprise, e.g.: job procedures and work instructions maintenance of plant and equipment purchasing of supplies and equipment specific to OHS, e.g.: assessing risks consultation and participation controlling risks emergency response identifying hazards, e.g. inspections incident investigation issue resolution OHS record keeping OHS training providing OHS information reporting OHS issues |
Identifying hazards may include activities associated with: | audits housekeeping identifying employee concerns job and work system assessment maintenance of plant and equipment OHS record keeping purchasing of supplies and equipment workplace inspections |
Hazardous events may include: | accidents bomb scares emergencies, e.g. chemical spills fires and explosions |
