Implement security risk management plan

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency has wide application in a range of managerial roles in the security industry. Work is performed under minimal supervision and competency requires a high level of judgement and decision-making. The knowledge and skills described in this unit are to be applied within relevant legislative and organisational guidelines.

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to facilitate implementation of a security risk management plan. It requires the ability to allocate roles and responsibilities, coordinate and monitor implementation procedures, and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment options.

This unit may form part of the licensing requirements for persons engaged in risk assessment operations in those states and territories where these are regulated activities.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

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

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of:

monitoring emerging risks to ensure ongoing suitability of risk management plan based on principles of AS/NZS 4360: 2004

efficient allocation of resources to support risk management plan

effectively communicating designated roles, responsibilities and work schedules to security personnel

preparing documentation and guidelines with a clear explanation of the incidence, nature and causes of risks and appropriate contingency arrangements

systematically reviewing the effectiveness of treatment options and making appropriate modifications as required to address any discrepancies between treatment options and risk incidence.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment includes:

a setting in the workplace or environment that simulates the conditions of performance described in the elements, performance criteria and range statement.

Resource implications for assessment include:

access to a registered provider of assessment services

access to a suitable venue and equipment

access to plain English version of relevant statutes and procedures

assessment instruments including personal planner and assessment record book

work schedules, organisational policies and duty statements.

Reasonable adjustments must be made to assessment processes where required for people with disabilities. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support.

Method of assessment

This unit of competency should be assessed using questioning of underpinning knowledge and skills.

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and suitable to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the competency being assessed. In all cases where practical assessment is used, it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess the underpinning knowledge.

Oral questioning or written assessment may be used to assess underpinning knowledge. In assessment situations where the candidate is offered a choice between oral questioning and written assessment, questions are to be identical.

Supplementary evidence may be obtained from relevant authenticated correspondence from existing supervisors, team leaders or specialist training staff.
