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.

The Evidence Guide identifies the critical aspects, knowledge and skills to be demonstrated to confirm competence for this unit. This is an integral part of the assessment of competence and should be read in conjunction with the Range Statements

Critical aspects of evidence to be considered

Assessment must confirm sufficient knowledge of the factors influencing the development of a risk management plan for the management of spectators at an event or program in the work environment

Assessment of performance should be over a number of events/programs covering the prescribed number of categories from the Range Statements

In particular, assessment must confirm the ability to

ensure the risk management plan identifies all the risks associated with the event or program, puts steps in place to minimise the identified risks and complies with all legal and organisational requirements

ensure enough personnel are on hand to effectively manage the expected number of spectators

ensure personnel, procedures and equipment are in place to effectively deal with an emergency

Interdependent assessment of units

This unit must be assessed after attainment of competency in the following unit(s)

SRXRIK002A Manage an organisation's risk

SRXEMR002A Coordinate emergency response

SRXEVT002B Organise meeting/event and provide on-site meeting/event management services

This unit must be assessed in conjunction with the following unit(s)

Nil

For the purpose of integrated assessment, this unit may be assessed in conjunction with the following unit(s)

SRXEVT005B Manage special events

Required knowledge and skills

Required knowledge

Comprehensive knowledge of typical event/program management systems

Issues and problems relating to overall event/program management

Organisation's policy and procedures for the management of events/programs

Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) and risk management procedures for coordination of events/programs

Knowledge of typical technical requirements for events/programs

Public relations knowledge for servicing of clients/guests/delegate/speakers

Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) legislation

Relevant insurances for the staging of an event/program

Required skills

Organisational skills in terms of event planning

Analysis skills to assess risks associated with the staging of events/programs

Use of technology and equipment for coordination of events/programs in order to assess systems

Referral skills to identify to whom to refer questionable safety aspects of the staging of the event/program

Research skills to seek information on the legal requirements associated with the event/program

Problem solving skills in order to advise coordinator of the event of the most appropriate course of action in an emergency

Literacy skills to clarify information on procedures and systems for the management of events

Organisational skills in terms of events/programs planning

Use of technology and equipment for coordination of events/programs

Resource implications

Physical resources - assessment of this competency requires access to

a real event or program in order to develop and implement a risk management plan

Human resources - assessment of this unit of competency will require human resources consistent with those outlined in the Assessment Guidelines. That is, assessors (or persons within the assessment team) must

be competent in this unit but preferably be competent in the unit at the level above

be current in their knowledge and understanding of the industry through provision of evidence of professional activity in the relevant area

have attained the mandatory competency requirements for assessors under the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) as specified in Standard 7.3 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations

Consistency in performance

Due to issues such as dealing with different venues with differing layouts, this unit of competency must be assessed over a number of events/programs in order to ensure consistency of performance over the Range Statements and contexts applicable to managing spectators at an event

Context for assessment

This unit of competency must be assessed in the context of a sport or recreationevent/program with a range of real clients. For valid and reliable assessment the sport or recreation event/program should closely replicate the work environment. The environment should be safe with the hazards, circumstances and equipment likely to be encountered in a real workplace

Assessment of this unit of competence will usually include observation of processes and procedures, oral and/or written questioning on required knowledge and skills and consideration of required attitudes

Where performance is not directly observed and/or is required to be demonstrated over a "period of time" and/or in a "number of locations", any evidence should be authenticated by colleagues, supervisors, clients or other appropriate persons

KEY COMPETENCIES
