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 RIIBLA402D, 'Monitor and control the effects of blasting on the environment'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Monitor and control the effects of blasting on the environment' 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
1 Develop strategies to control the effects of blasting on the environment | 1.1 Access, interpret and apply blasting documentation and ensure the work activity is compliant 1.2 Identify and evaluate the environmental hazards and controls to minimise the impact on the environment of ground vibration resulting from blasting 1.3 Identify and evaluate the environmental hazards and controls to minimise the impact on the environment of flyrock resulting from blasting 1.4 Identify and evaluate the environmental hazards and controls to minimise the impact on the environment of air blast, noise and overpressure resulting from blasting 1.5 Identify and evaluate the environmental hazards and controls to minimise the impact on the environment of air pollution and dust resulting from blasting 1.6 Identify and evaluate the environmental hazards and controls to minimise the impact on the environment of water pollution resulting from blasting 1.7 Identify and analyse the objectives and criteria for safe and effective blast monitoring 1.8 Evaluate and select monitoring device options 1.9 Prepare procedures for the installation, establishment and operation of monitoring systems 1.10 Formulate the monitoring system maintenance program and procedures 1.11 Determine procedures for the audit, review and updating of the monitoring system 1.12 Select and wear personal protective equipment appropriate to the work activities 1.13 Obtain and interpret emergency procedures and be prepared for fire/accident/emergency |
2 Implement environment monitoring systems | 2.1 Implement procedures for monitoring, recording and reporting on environmental controls 2.2 Implement procedures for the installation and operation of monitoring systems and equipment 2.3 Implement procedures for the collection and analysis of environmental data 2.4 Process, record and report monitoring system data 2.5 Interpret measured data, compare with statutory and site requirements and implement identified actions |
3 Review strategies | 3.1 Audit the effectiveness of the environmental control system in order to ensure that blasting standards comply with statutory and environmental management plan requirements 3.2 Audit the effectiveness of the environmental control system in order to ensure that monitoring systems operate to statutory requirements 3.3 Audit the effectiveness of the environmental control system in order to ensure that recording systems are maintained accurately and data are processed in accordance with environmental management plan requirements 3.4 Review the monitoring system to ensure that standards remain appropriate |
