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.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Determine work health and safety requirements for professional practice | 1.1 Research key features of legislation that apply to professional practice 1.2 Source and evaluate practice-specific codes, standards and guidelines that affect the management of safety in the relevant work environment 1.3 Develop systems and procedures that respond to work health and safety (WHS) requirements and effectively integrate those responses into practice management 1.4 Evaluate the role of others in practice safety and involve them as appropriate |
2. Identify hazards and assess and manage risks | 2.1 Identify existing and potential hazards specific to the area of practice using relevant methods, templates and tools 2.2 Assess and manage risks associated with those hazards in line with established processes and according to WHS legislation and codes of practice 2.3 Implement and monitor developed systems and procedures in response to identified requirements for hazard control measures and risk assessment in the workplace 2.4 Develop and maintain current and accurate documentation to support hazard identification and risk management in workplace practices 2.5 Address hazard identification and risk assessment and management at the planning, design and evaluation stages of any change in the workplace to ensure that new hazards are not created |
3. Monitor and enhance safety of the practice | 3.1 Maintain currency of WHS knowledge relevant to own area of practice 3.2 Seek feedback of colleagues on workplace safety practices and potential issues, and integrate improvements into systems and procedures as appropriate 3.3 Proactively identify other sources of information and professional development opportunities relating to safety 3.4 Integrate current and emerging ideas and technologies that support workplace safety into own practice |
Evidence of the ability to:
analyse the needs of a particular practice and develop a set of systems, procedures and practices to support safety in that context
identify key safety issues, including specific hazards and risks in the relevant area of practice
apply general work health and safety (WHS) legislation and specific codes, standards or guidelines relevant to own practice.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
explain essential components of work health and safety (WHS) legislation, regulations and codes of practice relevant to the specific area of practice
explain essential WHS responsibilities of employers, manufacturers, suppliers, employees and other parties with legal responsibilities
explain relevant industry or process-specific safety guidelines that apply to particular fields of work and particular work environments
describe hazards and their associated risks that exist in the specific professional practice
explain the potential impact of not addressing hazards and risks in the specific area of practice
explain organisational systems, procedures and practices that support WHS management and regulatory compliance for a professional practice:
business planning, especially new technology and organisational change
purchasing policies and procedures
reporting on financial, technical and other resource needs
maintenance of WHS systems and procedures.
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:
general and practice-specific (WHS) information.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
