Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to apply workplace policies and procedures to maintain a safe work environment for self and others.The unit of competency covers identifying work health and safety (WHS) hazards, assessing risk and following safety procedures in the workplace with minimal supervision. Compliance with legislative requirements and duty of care are embedded in this unit through workplace instructions and procedures. Workers will be provided with clear directions, information, instruction, training and appropriate supervision regarding the relevant state/territory WHS legislation, codes of practice, relevant industry standards, workplace procedures and work instructions.This unit of competency applies to an individual working alone or as part of a team/work group and working in liaison with other shift team members and the control room operator, as appropriate.No other 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 work unsupervised. 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 must include the use of appropriate safety gear and systems 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. |
