Elements of Competency
Performance Criteria
Element: Identify road safety risks
Records and statistics are monitored, both day and night, to identify problems and areas of risk
Complaints, requests, comments and observations are analysed to identify problems or areas of risk
Element: Assess road safety risks
Risk sites are investigated to clearly establish conditions and causes of accidents and collisions
Research is undertaken to collect evidence regarding identified risks
Identified risks are compared and assessed against legislative requirements, codes of practice, relevant Australian standards and community expectations
Clear priorities based on a ranking of safety factors are established
Element: Develop and evaluate options
Options relevant to reducing risk are identified
Acquisition or resumption of land is identified
All options are assessed on the basis of cost effectiveness, efficiency and practicality
Preferred option to reduce risk is selected based on Council guidelines
Element: Present preferred options to Council
Council 'approval in principle' is obtained
Statutory and other relevant authority approvals are obtained in required timeframes with minimal modification to the preferred option
Opportunities are provided for community consultation to maximise acceptance of preferred option
Clear, concise documentation is prepared that provides full preliminary cost details
Options and recommendations, supported by clear rationale, are submitted to Council for endorsement
Element: Prepare detailed design
Initial brief and regular, clear communication with design personnel is undertaken
Implementation timeframes are advised to design personnel to ensure detail design is completed as required
Design development is monitored to completion to ensure no errors or omissions are made
A safety design audit is undertaken
Final detailed cost estimates are accurately prepared
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.

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Not applicable.
Application of this competency will vary according to the Council's size, location, organisational structure, resources, state/territory statutory requirements, business/strategic plans, and policies and practices
Accidents and collision causes
speed, volume, sight distance, vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, road and roadside environment, weather, transport mode
surveys, observation, accident statistics, literature studies, applicable standards, questionnaires, gathering local knowledge
Affected parties
local occupants, neighbours, emergency services, public transport, through traffic
Funding options
Local Government, state government, federal government, private developers, schools, community groups, relevant authorities
Treatment
construction, diversion, speed zones, speed humps, traffic lights, roundabouts, education programs, public awareness campaigns, police liaison groups, multilingual information services
Council guidelines
risk assessment, cost benefit ratio, community expectations
Community
commercial, rate payers, land holders, residents, industrial, rural

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.
