Application
This unit was developed for technical regulatory framework specialists working within materiel logistics but is applicable to any individual in this field of work. Typically these individuals must demonstrate the ability to work independently or as part of a team under direct and/or indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs. All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant organisational policy and procedures. |

Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1Assist with risk analysis and planning | 1.1 Contribution is made to identify and prioritise risks to the technical integrity of the organisation's materiel 1.2 Within delegated technical/engineering authority, input is provided to develop risk management strategies and risk management plans within established guidelines 1.3 Established risk analysis methods, techniques and tools are used to assist in the analysis of risks in accordance with organisational plans 1.4 Reporting mechanisms for risks to technical integrity are incorporated, in accordance with organisational plans |
2Conduct risk control activities | 2.1 Risk control activities are undertaken in accordance with organisational plans 2.2 Risks to technical integrity are acted on within technical/engineering authority or reported to others for response 2.3 Contribution is made to the implementation of agreed risk approaches and the amendment of plans to reflect the changing context 2.4 Opportunities are identified and reported for action in the same way as risks |
3Contribute to assessing risk management outcomes | 3.1 Contribution is made to the ongoing review of the technical integrity of organisational materiel to determine the effectiveness of risk management activities by accessing data and available information 3.2 Risk management issues and responses are reported to others for lessons learned or application in future technical/engineering activities |

Evidence Required
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 | Assessment must confirm the ability to: adhere to and apply relevant data collection, storage and retrieval requirements apply knowledge of technical risk management systems to assist in work and to guide problem solving demonstrate understanding of personal role in relation to wider organisational or project context Competency should be demonstrated over time and should be observed in a range of actual or simulated work contexts Consistency in performance and evidence that candidates have contributed to the management of risk within projects includes applying, within authority, the requirements of the job or work role in relation to: implementing, monitoring, and successfully completing risk management activities contributing to reports of results completing work area housekeeping requirements including the documentation of risk management activity and process outcomes identifying risk controlling risks developing risk management strategies modifying activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment monitoring risks (with emphasis on variation management) reviewing risk management within the project working and communicating effectively and positively with others involved in the work |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Competency should be assessed in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment Access is required to: computer and relevant software legislation, guidelines, procedures and protocols relating to technical risk management systems and techniques plans workplace documentation |
Method of assessment | Assessment of this unit must be undertaken by a registered training organisation Where possible, assessment should be supported by questions to assess required knowledge. Questioning techniques should suit the language and literacy levels of the candidate Assessment methods should reflect workplace demands such as literacy and the needs of particular groups Assessment methods suitable for valid and reliable assessment of this unit of competency may include a combination of methods such as: authenticated evidence from the workplace and/or training programs case studies demonstration feedback from supervisors and peers regarding the candidate's ability observation portfolios projects questioning reviews or reports prepared by the candidate scenarios simulation or role plays |
Range Statement
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. | |
Risks may include: | actual likely/probable perceived potential sources of technical risk and associated documents may include: design change Engineering Management Plan Risk Management Plan appropriate standards |
Delegated technical/engineering authority may include authority: | appointed in accordance with the relevant technical regulatory framework subject to frequent change in a multi-disciplinary environment under limited guidance and supervision within agreed authorisation and limits within established organisational framework, procedures and routines |
Risk analysis methods, techniques and tools may include: | assisting in qualitative and/or quantitative risk analysis, such as schedule simulation, decision analysis, contingency planning and alternative strategy development using personal experience and/or subject matter experts using specialist risk analysis tools to assist in the decision making process |
Organisational plans may include: | engineer management plans risk management plans |
Others may include: | executive authorities higher project authorities other stakeholders project specialists or personnel regulatory authorities team members |
Opportunities may include: | better means of achieving a result changes in the regulatory framework or broader environment that offer scope for rescheduling activities to better effect efficiencies or methods to work more effectively, such as ways of shortening an activity environmental load minimisation and waste minimisation improvements to technical integrity risk mitigation |
