Issue Date: May 2024


Qualification -
Unit of Competency PUADEFCM003B - Analyse causes and identify countermeasures for injuries in physical activities
Description This unit covers the competency required to establish the root cause/s of injuries occurring in physical activity, to develop countermeasures, to report the analysis, and to make recommendations to supervisors.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application The application of this unit in the workplace - the environments, complexities and situations involved - will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package.This text will be useful for the purposes of job descriptions, recruitment advice or job analysis; where possible, it will not be too job specific to allow other industries to import it into other Training Packages, where feasible.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Prepare for a causal analysis
  • Appropriate background documentation is identified, obtained and assembled to collate all relevant facts and information that may guide and contribute to the causal analysis
  • Relevant personnel are identified and requested to provide input to the causal analysis
  • Other relevant sources of information regarding injury causation are identified and assembled
  • Methods and tools to be used in the analysis are identified, specified and prepared in accordance with organisational procedures and guidelines
       
Element: Identify the contributing factors involved in causing injury
  • Relevant information sources are reviewed to determine contributing factors typically involved in causing injury
  • Activities are observed and/or reviewed
  • Interviews are conducted with relevant personnel
  • Contexts in which the activities are commonly conducted are reviewed
  • Components and aspects of activities which appear to be associated with greater risk of injury are analysed in detail
  • Data is recorded using organisational analytical tools in order to compile inputs to the analysis
  • Final list of contributing factors involved in injury causation is determined, validated and recorded by cross-referencing results from all causal analysis activities
       
Element: Undertake a root cause analysis
  • Root causes of injury in the activity are determined through further analysis of the final list of contributing factors in the light of contextual information
  • List of root causes of injury is determined, validated and recorded
       
Element: Recommend countermeasures
  • Effective countermeasures are identified where possible, for each root cause of injury, from available information and subject matter experts
  • Where no proven countermeasure can be identified, countermeasures are developed from first principles, in consultation with subject matter experts
  • Written and oral causal analysis report, including details of recommended countermeasures, is prepared in accordance with organisational policy and procedures and is delivered to decision-makers for consideration
       


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.

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to:

recognise limit of own authority

refer problems to supervisors

comply with organisational policies and procedures

critically analyse relevant sources of information using own underpinning knowledge and organisational analytical tools to determine the root causal factors

identify and develop options for preventative countermeasures which reduce risk, but are economically and practically viable and do not result in excessive reduction of activity benefits to the organisation

compile and report root cause analysis findings clearly and concisely in both a verbal and written form.

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over a range of scenarios to confirm consistency in performance.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment.

Specific resources for assessment

Access to:

real or scenario based injury producing activities

workplace in which causal analysis can be applied

background documentation/templates/tools

workplace health and safety guidelines

organisational policies and procedures

duty statements and/or job descriptions

personnel for interview and questioning.

Guidance information for assessment

Information that will assist or guide assessment will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package.

Submission Requirements

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.
