Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to develop, implement and evaluate an organisation-wide risk management plan. Risk management is defined as coordinated activities to direct and control an organisation with regard to risk. It incorporates an assessment of all potential risks facing the organisation and the approach, management components and resources to be applied to the management of risk. It focuses on avoiding/eliminating critical incidents rather than on recovering from a disaster.This unit of competency applies to managers or work health and safety (WHS) specialists who are developing or maintaining a risk management plan for their site or organisation. This unit of competency is based on AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009 Risk management - Principles and guidelines and can be applied to any aspect of risk in an organisation. When applied to health, safety and environment (HSE) risks the business and other risks consequent on them are also considered.This unit of competency applies to an individual working alone or as part of a team or group and working in liaison with other shift team members and the control room operator, as appropriate.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. The unit should be assessed holistically and the judgement of competence based on a holistic assessment of the evidence. The collection of performance evidence is best done from a report and/or folio of evidence drawn from: a single project which provides sufficient evidence of the requirements of all the elements and performance criteria multiple smaller projects which together provide sufficient evidence of the requirements of all the elements and performance criteria. A third-party report, or similar, may be needed to testify to the work done by the individual, particularly when the project has been done as part of a project team. Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills. 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. 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. |
