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 PSPSOHS609A, 'Evaluate an organisation's OHS performance'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Evaluate an organisation's OHS performance' 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 Evaluate effectiveness of systematic approaches to identifying OHS hazards | 1.1 Workplace hazard identification activities being undertaken are identified and compared with organisational policies and procedures. 1.2 Products, processes and systems are examined to determine whether hazards of long latency and low frequency/high consequence are included and minimised. 1.3 Products, processes and systems are examined to determine whether risks to persons other than employees are identified and minimised. 1.4 Organisational factors that impact on OHS are identified. 1.5 Outcomes of the evidence gathering are reviewed with specialist personnel, if required. |
2 Evaluate the effectiveness of systematic approaches to OHS risk management | 2.1 Appropriateness of the organisation's risk assessment tool/s and processes are evaluated. 2.2 Outcomes of the risk assessment process are assessed for validity, reliability and inclusion of all major OHS risks, in particular demonstrated use of risk assessment methods in the organisation. 2.3 Risk controls are evaluated for suitability and effectiveness in relation to the organisation's systematic management of OHS. |
3 Evaluate the effectiveness of systematic OHS monitoring processes | 3.1 The scope of organisational processes to monitor the implementation and status of systematic approaches to managing OHS is evaluated. 3.2 The quality of information and data obtained from the monitoring processes is evaluated. 3.3 The managerial level of response to the issues raised in the monitoring process is evaluated in relation to the level of risk. |
4 Assess whether the OHS management approaches have produced improved performance | 4.1 Performance indicators (including positive performance indicators) are evaluated to determine whether they provide a true, reliable and timely measure of the effectiveness of the OHS management approaches to reducing OHS risk. 4.2 Reported performance is compared with evidence gathered, and differences are documented. 4.3 Outcomes of evaluation of performance are documented in a clear and objective manner. |
5 Assess and advise on organisational OHS compliance against agreed benchmarks | 5.1 Systematic analysis is undertaken to identify areas of OHS compliance and non-compliance with benchmarks. 5.2 Advice on the impact of legislation and standards on the selection, suitability and implementation of a range of OHS performance interventions is provided. 5.3 Outcomes of evaluation of compliance are documented and reported to key personnel and stakeholders. |
