Advise on application of safe design principles to control OHS risk

Formats and tools

Unit Description
Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
Assessment Tool
an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
Assessment Template
generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
Assessment Matrix
a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
Wiki Markup
mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
Evidence Guide
create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
Competency Mapping Template
Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
Observation Checklist
create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)

Self Assessment Survey
A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
Moodle Outcomes
Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x

Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

1. Advise on the OHS requirements of the design process

1.1. Inform decision makers about their responsibility for the safety of downstream users and beneficiaries

1.2. Advise decision makers of their obligation under law to design and supply a safe designed product by eliminating OHS hazards and controlling for residual OHS risk

1.3. Promote OHS within the design requirements and include an overall risk evaluation of the designed product's life cycle

1.4. Source and make available to decision makers the most current information of OHS principles, materials, technology and systems for application in the design of the product

1.5. Identify and make available required education and training to enable decision makers to have the necessary skills and knowledge to identify and eliminate OHS hazards, and to control OHS risk in the design phase

1.6. Identify and access relevant sources of information and data, for equipment users in particular

1.7. Consult potential users of the equipment during the design phase

1.8. Identify situations where specialist advisors may be required

2. Develop a systematic hazard identification and OHS risk evaluation system for safe design

2.1. Identify OHS hazards and conduct a risk analysis of associated risks across the life cycle of the designed product

2.2. Guide the selection and implementation of the most appropriate OHS risk controls for the designed product from a systematic analysis of the likelihood and consequences of injury or illness arising from exposure to identified OHS hazards

2.3. Ensure hazard identification and risk analysis includes potential alterations to the designed product during its life

2.4. Document decision making during the OHS risk evaluation process and make accessible to all parties

2.5. Establish a residual risk register, recording OHS hazards not eliminated in the design together with possible control strategies, and distribute this information to those involved in the downstream or subsequent life cycle stages

2.6. Monitor the design as it evolves to identify potential new OHS hazards and to manage risks if they become evident

3. Advise on principles of OHS risk control

3.1. Base design to minimise risk on the hierarchy of control

3.2. Minimise the impact of possible failure or defect, by ensuring the designed product includes fail-to-safe action

4. Advise on consultation processes between people involved in the life cycle of the designed product

4.1. Advise decision makers to consider the needs of the range of people who will use or interact with the designed product

4.2. Arrange consultation between all parties during the concept and detailed design phases to identify and eliminate OHS hazards and minimise risk

4.3. Appropriately communicate residual OHS risk in the designed product to those who will use or interact with the designed product throughout its life cycle

5. Advise on contractual arrangements and procurement systems to minimise 'purchased' OHS risk

5.1. Advise decision makers involved in purchasing and contractual arrangements to include a requirement to eliminate OHS hazards, minimise OHS risks, and provide information and data on residual OHS risk

5.2. Include an agreement to carry out a safe design approach in the design brief or draft specifications
