Formats and tools
- Unit Description
- Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
- Assessment Tool
- an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
- Assessment Template
- generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
- 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 column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
- Wiki Markup
- mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
- Evidence Guide
- create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
- Competency Mapping Template
- Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
- 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)
- 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.
- 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
- Registered Training Organisations
- Trying to find someone to train or assess you? This link lists all the RTOs that are currently registered to deliver PSPSOHS603A, 'Analyse and evaluate OHS risk'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Analyse and evaluate OHS risk' 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 :)
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA | |
1. | Define parameters of the OHS risk study | 1.1 Information and data on the hazard identification process and the context of the OHS risk are accessed. 1.2 The scope of the OHS risk study is established. 1.3 The activity to be analysed is divided into logical and manageable elements. 1.4 The method of OHS risk analysis is defined and documented. |
2. | Analyse the OHS risk of a task or process | 2.1 The nature of the hazard including the process of injury or damage is clarified. 2.2 The need for further information such as monitoring activities is identified. 2.3 Information and data about the OHS risk are communicated to stakeholders. 2.4 A range of stakeholders is consulted and involved in the analysis. 2.5 Existing controls are identified and their effectiveness evaluated, taking account of relevant standards. 2.6 Specific scenarios to be considered are determined. 2.7 From the various scenarios possible consequences and the likelihood of their occurrence are determined. 2.8 Steps are undertaken to ensure comprehensive analysis of information, data and techniques. 2.9 The OHS risks are ranked in order of level of risk. 2.10 OHS specialist advisers are consulted if required. |
3. | Evaluate OHS risk of a task or process | 3.1 Relevant legislation, codes of practice and standards are accessed and referenced. 3.2 Stakeholders are consulted in determining criteria for OHS risk evaluation. 3.3 Outcomes of OHS risk analysis are compared with criteria to identify risks requiring further risk control and risks deemed as low as reasonably achievable. 3.4 Process and outcomes of analysis and evaluation are documented in a manner that is accessible and facilitates understanding by the stakeholders. 3.5 Documentation of outcomes includes explanation of the legal ramifications of decision making based on risk prioritisation. |
