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 for this unit that competence be demonstrated in assessment of incident both functionally and strategically; development of a plan and implementation of response in accordance with the organisation's policies and procedures. Strategic reaction to changes within the emergency environment Consistency in performance Evidence should be gathered over a period of time in a range of actual or simulated workplace environments |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Context of assessment Assessment may occur in an operational environment or in an industry-approved simulated work environment Specific resources for assessment Resources should involve access to, or simulation of, emergency situations in a multi-team response environment. This includes resources relating to: equipment, personnel, facilities etc appropriate to the emergency situation and within the bounds of responsibility as designated within the requirements of control |
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. |
