Unit of Competency DEFGEN311 - Implement and manage technical risk management
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to manage risk within the organisation’s environment in order to avoid adverse effects on the technical integrity of the organisation’s materiel.It includes determining, monitoring and controlling risks, and assessing technical risk management outcomes.This unit applies to technical regulatory framework specialists working in Defence materiel logistics but is applicable to any individual in this field of work.The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.Typically, persons undertaking this unit work independently or as part of a team under direct and/or indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, undertake complex tasks and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

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 must include access to:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulations

relevant and appropriate materials, tools and equipment currently used in industry

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, protocols, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Determine risks
  • Identify, document and analyse technical risks as a basis for risk planning, in consultation with relevant stakeholders and higher technical/engineering authorities
  • Use established risk management techniques and tools to analyse risks and assess options, in accordance with delegated technical authority
  • Recommend preferred risk approaches to relevant authority to meet task requirements, in accordance with delegated technical authority and organisational procedures
  • Develop plans, seek stakeholder agreement about plans and communicate plans effectively to ensure clarity of understanding and ongoing management of technical risk factors
  • Determine designated risk management processes and procedures to enable effective management and communication of risk events, responses and results
       
Element: Monitor and control risk
  • Manage activities in accordance with organisational engineering management plan to ensure a common approach to achieving objectives
  • Monitor progress against organisational engineering management plan and risk management plan to identify variances and recommend responses to higher technical authority for remedial action
  • Implement agreed risk responses and modify plans to reflect changing project objectives in changing work contexts and environments
       
Element: Assess risk management outcomes
  • Review outcomes of technical/engineering risk management activities to determine effectiveness of risk management processes and procedures
  • Identify, document and report risk issues and recommend improvements to relevant authorities to inform future applications
       


Evidence Required
