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
- Trying to find someone to train or assess you? This link lists all the RTOs that are currently registered to deliver FDFOHS4001A, 'Identify, assess and control OHS risk in own work'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Identify, assess and control OHS risk in own work' 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 |
1. Identify hazards and assess risk associated with a product or system of work | 1.1. The production processes of the product or system of work is mapped 1.2. Hazards at each stage of the production processes are identified 1.3. Hazards are systematically analysed to identify risk of injury, illness or damage arising from the hazard 1.4. Identify factors contributing to the risk are identified 1.5. The product or system of work are assessed and evaluated against requirements of relevant ohs legislation, standards, codes of practice/compliance codes or guidance material 1.6. Potential users of the product or system of work are consulted |
2. Control the risk of a product or system of work | 2.1. Risk controls are developed based on the hierarchy of control 2.2. Where there is a high consequence OHS risk, fail-to-safe action is designed into the product or system of work to minimise the impact of possible failure or defect 2.3. Product or work system development is monitored as it evolves to identify new hazards and to manage any developing risk 2.4. A risk register is used to document residual risk and recommended actions to minimise risk 2.5. Personal professional limitations are recognised and expert advice sought as required 2.6. The risk management process and resultant risk register is communicated to those who may use or interact with the product or system of work 2.7. Hazard identification, risk assessment and risk control processes are documented and made available to those who may be affected |
3. Identify hazards and assess risks in own work | 3.1. Sources of OHS information are identified and accessed 3.2. Hazards are identified and eliminated, and residual risk reported according to organisation procedures 3.3. A risk register is used to document residual risk and actions to minimise risk based on the hierarchy of control |
4. Control risk in own work | 4.1. Work practices are confirmed as following documented work procedures 4.2. Work planning and conduct is confirmed as taking account of residual risk register 4.3. Deficiencies in risk controls are identified, addressed and/or reported according to organisation procedures 4.4. OHS records are maintained as required 4.5. Personal professional limitations are recognised and expert advice sought as required |
