Apply safe design principles to control WHS risks

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
Registered Training Organisations

Books
Reference books for 'Apply safe design principles to control WHS risks' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)


Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1 Advise on WHS principles that support safe design

1.1 Advise decision-makers of their duties under WHS laws to manage WHS risks throughout a product’s life cycle

1.2 Source and make available to decision-makers the most current information and data on WHS principles, materials, technology and systems that apply to product design

1.3 Advise on methods and tools that can support WHS hazard identification and WHS risk assessment throughout a product’s life cycle

1.4 Identify and address learning and development needs of decision-makers to manage WHS risks that may arise during a product’s life cycle, including during its design phase

1.5 Advise on consultation with known and/or potential users of the product during the design phase, according to organisational policies and procedures

1.6 Identify situations where specialist and other advisers may be required to support safe design activities

2 Advise on systematic approach to WHS risk management for safe design

2.1 Advise on selection and implementation of required WHS risk controls in design, based on the hierarchy of control measures

2.2 Advise on documentation requirements relating to decision-making during risk assessment process

2.3 Advise on establishment of a residual WHS risk register and distribution of this information to those involved in downstream or subsequent product life-cycle stages

2.4 Advise on monitoring the design as it evolves, to identify and manage potential WHS hazards that may arise during product life cycle and their associated risks

2.5 Identify and address learning and development needs of decision-makers in relation to managing design-related WHS risks in a product’s life cycle

3 Advise on consultation processes in product’s life cycle

3.1 Support decision-makers in considering the needs of those using or interacting with product throughout its life cycle

3.2 Facilitate involvement of technical experts as required according to organisational processes and procedures

3.3 Advise on consultation arrangements with required personnel during all phases of design process to identify WHS hazards and control WHS risks that may occur throughout a product’s life cycle

3.4 Advise on communicating residual WHS risks in product to those who will use or interact with the product throughout its life cycle

4 Advise on procurement systems to minimise ‘purchased’ WHS hazards and their associated risks

4.1 Advise decision-makers involved in purchasing and contractual arrangements to include requirements to identify WHS hazards and control WHS risks, and to provide information and data on residual WHS risks as part of procurement process

4.2 Advise on including a requirement to carry out a safe design approach in the design brief or draft specifications
