Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to recognise hazards commonly occurring at the workplace and follow work health and safety (WHS) instructions and procedures.It covers recognising known hazards, such as those identified in procedures or training, and identifying the underlying causes of these identified hazards. This unit of competency applies to people on-site who are required to follow WHS instructions and procedures relating to the activity being undertaken. They will be aware of the importance of maintaining their own health and safety and the health and safety of others in the workplace and will also be capable of dealing with incidents and emergencies within their own scope of responsibility and under the direction of their supervisor for the site activity.While the instructions and procedures must be derived from the relevant organisation WHS policies, the person is not required to understand or interpret these policies. This interpretation should be undertaken by their supervisor for the site activity when informing them of the WHS requirements.This unit of competency applies to an individual who will be accompanied or directly supervised while on-site. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Competency must be achieved before performing this activity. Therefore this unit will typically be assessed off the job. Where assessment is undertaken on the job, appropriate supervision and safety precautions must be provided. The unit should be assessed holistically and the judgement of competence based on a holistic assessment of the evidence. The collection of performance evidence: should provide evidence of the ability to perform over the range of situations which might be expected to be encountered, including typical disruptions to normal, smooth work conditions will typically include the use of appropriate tools, equipment and safety gear requiring demonstration of preparation, operation, completion and responding to problems may use industry-based simulation particularly where safety, lack of opportunity or significant cost is an issue. Off-the-job assessment must sufficiently reflect realistic operational workplace conditions that cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills. Assessment in a simulated environment should use evidence collected from one or more of: walk-throughs demonstration of skills industry-based case studies/scenarios ‘what ifs’. Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence (provided a record is kept) or through an independent process, such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept). Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate. Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit. The regulatory framework will be reflected in workplace policies and procedures and is not required to be independently assessed. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately. As a minimum, assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 assessor requirements. |
