Treat risk at an operational level
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024
The application of this unit in the workplace - the environments, complexities and situations involved - will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package.
This text will be useful for the purposes of job descriptions, recruitment advice or job analysis; where possible, it will not be too job specific to allow other industries to import it into other Training Packages, where feasible.
This unit covers the competency required to identify, plan and implement treatment options in order to reduce risk.
Personnel working at this level will normally operate in a relatively simple and routine workplace in which they use the organisation's policy and procedures. Personnel would normally have local supervisory/management responsibility and will apply known solutions to a variety of predictable problems.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

The Range Statement relates to the Unit of Competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording in the Performance Criteria is detailed below. | |
Treatment options may include | Avoiding the risk Reducing the consequences Reducing the likelihood of the occurrence Retaining the risk Transferring the risk |
Risks that may impact on objectives may include | Conflict Economic Environmental Financial Human behaviour Legal Natural events Political circumstances Safety Technical |
Organisational policies or procedures may include | Australian Standard AS/NZS 4360 Commonwealth and state/territory legislative requirements eg OHS Act Industry standards and codes of practice Organisational charter/business plan |

Treatment plans include | Budgeting Expected outcome of treatments Performance measures Responsibilities Review process to be set in place Schedules |
Monitoring include | Critical observation Identification of changes over time Regular checking Regular recording |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
Observation Checklist
Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice | Yes | No | Comments/feedback |
---|---|---|---|
Calculated level of risk is compared to the established risk evaluation criteria and determined to be acceptable or unacceptable in consultation with the supervisor | |||
