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 provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required knowledge and skills, the range statement and the assessment guidelines for this Training Package. | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria of this unit and include demonstration of applying: the underpinning knowledge and skills relevant legislation and workplace procedures other relevant aspects of the range statement |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Performance is demonstrated consistently over a period of time and in a suitable range of contexts Resources for assessment include: a range of relevant exercises, case studies and other simulated practical and knowledge assessment, and/or access to an appropriate range of relevant operational situations in the workplace In both real and simulated environments, access is required to: relevant and appropriate materials and/or equipment, and/or applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals |
Method of assessment | Assessment of this unit must be undertaken by a registered training organisation As a minimum, assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate written/oral tests Practical assessment must occur: through appropriately simulated activities at the registered training organisation, and/or in an appropriate range of situations in the workplace |

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. | |
Workplace may include: | any work environment requiring safety critical operational judgements to be made and in particular when operating equipment, vehicles, load shifting equipment, trains, marine vessels and aircraft at night |
The need for fatigue management in a range of industry situations including: | operations conducted at all times but particularly at night typical weather conditions while working and/or driving at a workplace, depot, base or warehouse while working and/or driving at a client's workplace or work site driving a motor vehicle on the open road driving a motor vehicle on a private road driving a train, locomotive or motive power unit operating a marine vessel in coastal or international waters operating an aircraft operating load shifting equipment operating safety critical industrial plant and equipment |
Work-related factors that may contribute to fatigue include: | work demands such as: workload, work duration, shift pattern, time of day, frequency and duration of breaks and the type of work (e.g. .working in isolation, repetitive tasks and boring, monotonous or under-challenging tasks) organisational factors such as: work environment (including temperature, ventilation, continual rhythmic vibration from equipment), payment system, trip and work scheduling, and the predictability of work |
Worker/operator-related factors that may contribute to fatigue include: | lifestyle factors such as: sleep patterns, alcohol and drug use, quantity and timing of food and drink, and opportunities for relaxation with family and friends working multiple jobs personal or biological factors such as: state of mental and/or physical health, inadequate sleep, sleep disorders, emotional stress, family responsibilities, relationship difficulties, inadequate competence to complete work tasks, and circadian rhythms |
Responsibilities of individual for fatigue risk management may include: | following the organisation's fatigue management policy and procedures using time away from work appropriately to rest and recover checking and ensuring fitness for work reporting symptoms of fatigue taking action to minimise risk when symptoms of fatigue are recognised |
Depending on the organisation operating procedures may include: | standard operating procedures company procedures enterprise procedures organisational procedures established procedures |
Information and documents may include: | Commonwealth and state/territory regulations and guidelines concerning fatigue management in various transport and workplace situations workplace instructions and procedures on fatigue management relevant OH&S regulations and procedures work schedules and shift rosters emergency procedures log book or record book (where required) records and reports of fatigue-related errors and safety incidents relevant standards and certification requirements quality assurance procedures |
Applicable legislation, regulations and codes may include: | relevant regulations and codes of the Commonwealth Government and the state/territory regulatory authorities concerning fatigue management relevant state/territory road rules relevant rail industry safe working codes and regulations (where applicable) relevant state/territory permit regulations and requirements relevant state/territory OH&S legislation |
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.
