Unit of Competency | PUAEMR002B - Identify, analyse and evaluate risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Description | This unit covers the competency to develop a prioritised list of risks for a community through the consideration of sources of risk, elements at risk and taking into account likelihood, consequence and vulnerability. | ||
| 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. |

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 | It is essential that the interactions between hazards, communities and environments be fully identified and described. Evaluation of risk must be undertaken against established criteria in consultation with relevant communities Consistency in performance Candidates should be expected to present evidence from within a real environment |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Context of assessment Evidence of competence in this unit should be collected from within a real environment Specific resources for assessment For the demonstration of competence in this unit it will be necessary to work within a real life environment. Underpinning knowledge may be assessed through written assignments project reports, debriefings and action learning projects |
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.
This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit. |
Required Skills |
evaluate and prioritise risks facilitation identification of stakeholders negotiation with stakeholders problem definition risk analysis use emergency risk modelling processes to estimate risk |
Required Knowledge |
emergency management concepts knowledge of current principles and practices to conduct activities which exercise elements of public safety management principles and guidelines problem solving and decision making techniques research, demographic and economic analysis techniques |
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 in the Performance Criteria is detailed below. | |
Sources of risk may include | commercial and legal relationships economic human behaviour natural events political circumstances technology/technical issues management activities and controls individual activities |
Communities which are groups with shared associations may include | Geographically-based groupings of people such as: households neighbourhood suburbs towns local government areas cities regions states and the nation Shared-experience groupings of people such as: particular-interest groups ethnic groups professional groups language groups age groupings Those exposed to a particular hazard Sector based groupings such as: agriculture manufacturing commercial mining Education sectors. It may be necessary to consider groups within these sectors (eg within the manufacturing sector The food processing group) Functionally-based groupings such as service providers responsible for systems or networks which provide for the movement of people Goods Services and information on which health, safety comfort and economic activity depends (lifelines) Organisationally-based groupings such as Government organisations non-government organisations Members of Parliament |
Hazards may include | any situation condition or thing that has the potential to disrupt damage or bring loss to things people value Natural hazards. These include events such as: bushfire severe storm flood cyclone storm surge earthquake and extreme heat or cold Technological hazards are those events caused by the failure of socio-technical systems. These include events such as: dam/levee failure and systems failures related to agriculture (eg drought) food contamination industrial sites infrastructure and transportation Biological hazards. These include the spread of disease among plants, animals or people Civil/political hazards. These include events such as: terrorism sabotage civil unrest hostage situations and enemy attack |
The environment | is a set of conditions or influences which surround or interact with communities and hazards Built Environment - elements such as buildings and infrastructure which provide for the movement of people, goods and services Physical Environment - elements from the natural environment such as: topographical features water bodies vegetation communities and ecosystems |
Concepts of the environment may include | Social Environment - elements such as: politics economics commerce culture and public safety service provisions which relate to how the community functions |
Characteristics of hazards communities and environments include | Determination of information about significant fields such as: likelihood spatial distribution intensity speed of onset duration and the concern that the hazard arouses in the community |
Standards and guidelines are to include | Australian Standard AS/NZS 4360 Emergency Risk Management Guidelines 1999 |
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.
Observation Checklist
| Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice | Yes | No | Comments/feedback |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sources of risk are identified by considering the interaction of hazards, communities and the environment | |||
| Elements at risk are identified by examining the interaction of communities, the environment and the sources of risk which affect them | |||
| Organisations and communities are consulted to finalise a list of perceived risks | |||
| Perceived risks are analysed by considering the likelihood of an occurrence, and the consequence of an impact on the community/environment | |||
| The vulnerability of communities and/or environments is determined by analysing their susceptibility and resilience to risks | |||
| Levels of risk are identified and documented according to organisational guidelines and procedures | |||
| Risks are prioritised using agreed risk evaluation criteria | |||
| Evaluated risks are monitored in accordance with standards and guidelines | |||
| Evaluated risks are reviewed in accordance with standards and guidelines |
