Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessment must confirm the ability to define and identify risk language, definitions and terminology. Evidence must also be provided of stakeholder’s involvement throughout the process and that an informed analysis of the risks has been undertaken using tools and methodology approved by the organisation.

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated by gathering evidence over a range of workplace scenarios, using a variety of tools and methodology and should include the assessment of a variety of risks that may adversely impact on the organisation.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in the workplace or under conditions that closely simulate the workplace

Specific resources for assessment

Access to:

organisational documentation

relevant organisational standards

appropriate tools and methods used within the organisation

simulated or real-world workplaces

Guidance information for assessment

Valid assessment of this unit requires:

a workplace environment or one that closely resembles normal work practice and replicates the range of conditions likely to be encountered when applying the principles of operational risk assessment, including coping with difficulties, irregularities and breakdowns in routine

application of the principles of operational risk assessment in a range of 3 or more contexts or occasions, over time.

Assessment methods should reflect but not exceed workplace demands, such as literacy, and the needs of individuals who might be disadvantaged.

Assessment methods suitable for valid and reliable assessment of this unit must use authenticated evidence from the workplace and/or training courses and may include a combination of two or more of:

workplace projects

simulation or role plays

case studies and scenarios

observation

portfolios

Required Skills and Knowledge

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Required Skills

communicating effectively with risk management specialists and people at all organisational levels

preparing more detailed reports for a range of target groups including OHS or risk committee, OHS representatives, managers and supervisors

managing own tasks within time frame

using consultation and negotiation skills, particularly in relation to developing plans and implementing and monitoring designated actions

contributing to the assessment of the resources needed to systematically assess risks and, where appropriate, access resources

analysing relevant workplace information and data, and make observations including of workplace tasks and interactions between people, their activities, equipment, environment and systems

carrying out simple arithmetical calculations (e.g. % change), and produce graphs of workplace information and data to identify trends and recognise limitations

interpreting information and data to identify areas for improvement

using language and literacy skills appropriate to the workgroup and the task

using basic computer and information technology skills to access internal and external information and data on risk

undertaking basic research to access relevant information and data

paying attention to detail when making observations and recording outcomes.

Required Knowledge

organisational policies, procedures and guidelines relevant to risk

risk management terminology and language in accordance with relevant standards

specified methods or tools endorsed by an organisation and provided for use in the identification and analysis of risk

team work principles and strategies

techniques for giving and receiving feedback in a constructive manner

concept of common law duty of care as applies in emergency risk management context

structure and forms of legislation including regulations, codes of practice, associated standards and guidance material

roles and responsibilities under OHS legislation of employees, including supervisors and contractors

techniques/methods used to identify or analyse information

verbal and non-verbal communication techniques including language style, active listening

the nature and types of causes and consequences that can occur and how they will be measured

how likelihood will be defined

the timeframe(s) of the likelihood and/or consequence(s)

how the level of risk is to be determined

the views of stakeholders

the level at which risk becomes acceptable or tolerable

whether combinations of multiple risks should be taken into account and, if so, how and which combinations should be considered
