Work is performed under supervision, generally within a team environment. It involves the application of routine operational principles and procedures to demonstrate knowledge of risk factors and consequences when interacting with other road users. This unit does not involve driving.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

1Identify high risk behaviours

1.1 High risk behaviours that road user groups engage in are identified and observed

1.2 Strategies to reduce high risk behaviours in others and self are suggested

2Identify the reason why high risk behaviour is undertaken

2.1 The factors that influence people to engage in high risk behaviours are identified and described

2.2 Laws that attempt to address high risk behaviours are identified

2.3 The roles of regulatory bodies in addressing high risk behaviours are identified and described

3Identify the consequences of high risk behaviour

3.1 The possible long-term and short-term consequences of high risk behaviours are identified and described

REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS

This describes the essential knowledge and skills and their level required for this unit.

Required knowledge:

Knowledge of English

Knowledge of what regulations/rules are

Knowledge of what a strategy is

Difference between positive and negative

Required skills:

Communicate effectively with others

Read and interpret instructions, procedures and information

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria of this unit and include demonstration of:

applying the underpinning knowledge and skills

identifying high risk behaviour

identifying regulatory bodies

identifying ways to reduce high risk behaviours within peer group and self

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Performance is demonstrated consistently over a period of time and in a suitable range of contexts

Resources for assessment include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulated practical and knowledge assessment, and/or

access to an appropriate range of relevant operational situations

In both real and simulated environments, access is required to:

relevant and appropriate materials and equipment

Method of assessment

As a minimum, assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate assessments using written/practical/oral assessments

Practical assessment must occur:

through activities in an appropriately simulated environment

in an appropriate range of situations

Simulators are not suitable for final assessment of this unit of competency

Driving a vehicle is not part of the assessment of this unit of competency

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance.

Other road users may include:

pedestrians

cyclists and skaters

passengers

other drivers

farm vehicles

mobility scooters

segways

heavy commercial vehicles

High risk behaviours may include:

fatigue

drugs

alcohol

speed (high speed or inappropriate for circumstances)

inattention

distraction

hoon behaviour

Potential risk may include:

physical injury

social repercussions

emotional reaction

financial effect

economic impact

legal repercussions

Regulatory bodies may include:

relevant state/territory roads and traffic authority

Regulation and legislation may include:

relevant state/territory permit regulations and requirements

relevant state/territory OH&S legislation

relevant state/territory fatigue management regulations

relevant state/territory environmental protection legislation

This unit contains employability skills.
