Application
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to demonstrate knowledge of risk factors and consequences in interacting with other road users in accordance with approved standards, safe working and regulatory requirements. It includes identifying types of high risk behaviour, understanding reasons why people engage in high risk behaviour, and identifying high risk behaviour consequences. Work is performed under supervision, generally within a team environment. This unit does not involve driving. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. |
Elements and Performance Criteria

2.2 | Australian Road Rules and legislation that attempt to address high risk behaviour are identified | ||
2.3 | Roles of regulatory bodies in addressing high risk behaviour are identified and explained | ||
3 | Identify the consequences of high risk behaviour | 3.1 | Possible short-term consequences of high risk behaviour are identified and outlined |
3.2 | Possible long-term consequences of high risk behaviour are identified and outlined |
Evidence of Performance
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include: |
communicating effectively with others identifying high risk behaviour identifying regulatory bodies identifying ways to reduce high risk behaviour within peer group and self reading interpreting and following instructions, procedures and information. |
Evidence of Knowledge
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of: |
high risk behaviour factors including: alcohol distraction drugs fatigue hoon behaviour inattention speed (high speed or inappropriate for circumstances) other road users including: cyclists and skaters farm vehicles heavy commercial vehicles mobility scooters other drivers passengers pedestrians segways potential consequences of high risk behaviours including: economic impact emotional reaction financial effect legal repercussions physical injury social repercussions risk factors and how they affect performance relevant Australian Road Rules relevant state/territory roads and traffic authorities. |
Assessment Conditions
As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions. Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate. Resources for assessment include: a range of relevant exercises, case studies/and or simulations applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, Australian Road Rules, codes of practice and operation manuals relevant materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry. Driving a vehicle is not part of the assessment of this unit of competency. Simulators are not suitable for final assessment of this unit of competency. |
