Training material for BSBOHS403B - Identify hazards and assess OHS risks

Formats and tools

Unit Description: Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
Moodle 1.9 template: A moodle 1.9 course with content placeholders for the unit's elements and performance criteria.
Moodle Outcomes: Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x
Assessment Template: generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment
Assessment Matrix: a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in columns headings to check that all performance criteria have been covered.
Assessment Tool: an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
Evidence Guide: create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
Observation Checklist: create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)
XML: this is the source material provided by training.gov.au, transformed into the useful formats found on this site :-)
WikiSpaces: mark up the unit in a wiki format, ready to copy and paste into a wikispaces wiki page.
Self Assessment Survey: A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.

Google Links: links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
Books: Reference books for 'Identify hazards and assess OHS risks' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)
Resource Links: I tried writing some AI to extract important words and phrases from the unit and link them to wikipedia articles and other relevant online resources. Sometimes this routine was more A than I, but on the whole I'm happy with the results.
Questions and Answers: Look for relevant questions and answers about the subject on Yahoo. Again, this was an automated process, and some of the results are a bit odd. I'm still undecided about how useful this function is, so I'll be tinkering with it for a while yet.
