identifying and making available the required resources for the safe efficient and effective execution of the plan

providing sound leadership and supervision of team in undertaking the implementation and application of the plan

the successful implementation of the plan

Assessment and Interdependence of Units

This unit may be assessed with other relevant units forming a cohesive work function according to specific work site requirements

There are no prerequisite units for this unit

Resource Implications

Assessment of this competency requires typical resources normally used in a worksite work environment Selection and use of resources for particular work sites may differ due to work site conditions equipment availability equipmentplant types and different contexts

Consistency in Performance

To ensure consistency of performance this unit may be assessed over a period of time and a range of work and site conditions Local site factors will influence the breadth of evidence require to demonstrate the competency

Context for Assessment

This unit should be assessed in the work environment where possible Some assessment events may be conducted under simulated conditions where issues of safety andor environmental damage are limiting factors

All assessments must be valid reliable fair flexible and sufficient evidence should be accumulated to demonstrate the required competence

The assessment environment should not disadvantage the participant For example language literacy and numeracy demands of assessment should not be greater than those required on the job

Methods of Assessment

Appropriate methods of assessment for this unit will usually include

observation of processes and procedures

oral andor written questioning on required knowledge and skills

testimony from supervisors colleagues clients andor other appropriate persons

inspection of the final product or outcome

a portfolio of documentary evidence

Where performance is not directly observed andor is required to be demonstrated over a period of time andor in a number of locations any evidence should be authenticated by colleagues supervisors clients or other appropriate persons

Questioning should be undertaken in such a manner as is appropriate to the language and literacy levels of the candidate and to the requirements of the unit of competency

Range Statement

The following range of variables is subject to site-specific operations, but is not limited to the following details. The organisation's procedures, regulations and occupational health and safety and other relevant legislation apply to all elements and performance.

Risk is the chance of something happening that will have an impact upon objectives. It is measured in terms of consequence and likelihood.

Consultation with relevant personnel would typically include:

senior management

subject matter experts

regulatory authorities

The policy is the statement of over all intent and direction of the organisation in respect of the specific area of managerial responsibility.

The system's procedures are the procedures that support and expand on the policy and set out the requirements for implementing the system on individual sites. They provide direction and guidance to those responsible for implementation of the system and in the preparation of site specific work procedures, instruction and practices to put the system into effect.

System's procedures may include:

identification of hazards

dealing with unplanned incidents and events

Hazards are sources of potential harm or situations with the potential to cause loss.

Risk identification is the process of determining what can happen, why and how.

Risk assessment is the overall process of risk analysis and risk evaluation.

Risk analysis is a systematic use of available information to determine how often specified events may occur and the magnitude of their likely consequences.

Risk evaluation is the process used to determine risk management priorities by comparing the level of risk against predetermined standards, target risk levels or other criteria.

Risk treatment is the selection and implementation of appropriate options for dealing with risk.

Risk treatment should considered using options in sequence from eliminating the hazard, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and finally personal protective equipment.

Site procedures and practices may include:

standard operating procedures

safe operating procedures

work instructions

emergency procedures

allocation of responsibilities

permit requirements

sampling and testing requirements

documentation and reporting requirements.

Resources may include:

Site personnel may include:

employees

contractors.

Records and reports may include

results

recommendations

assessment forms

action planning documents.

Monitor is to check, supervise, observe critically, or record the progress of an activity, action or system on a regular basis in order to identify change.

Legislative requirements may include:

requirements for the maintenance of records for statutory/legal breaches

provision of information and training
