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 SISXRSK502A, 'Manage organisational risks'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Manage organisational 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 of a unit of competency. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge section and the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide. |
1. Determine the context of the organisation's risk-management program. | 1.1. Access and analyse relevant legislation and the organisation’s risk-management policy. 1.2. Access and evaluate current organisational risk-management programs. 1.3. Identify outcomes from organisational risk audits and identify potential areas of risk. 1.4. Analyse the organisation’s capacity to reduce or control the likelihood of incidents and consequences. 1.5. Access and clarify broad risk-evaluation criteria as specified by the organisation’s risk-management policy. 1.6. Identify key risk-management personnel within the organisation. |
2. Identify organisational risks. | 2.1. Identify and document sources of risk within each risk classification relevant to the organisation, including risks not under the control of the organisation. 2.2. Assess and document areas of impact on the organisation. 2.3. Identify and document possible causes of risk and seek external specialist assistance to control them. |
3. Conduct analysis of organisational risks. | 3.1. Determine appropriate methodology and tools to conduct organisational risk analysis. 3.2. Conduct analysis according to organisational risk-management policy. 3.3. Determine existing organisational controls established by the organisation according to Work Health and Safety (WHS) legislation. 3.4. Assess the likelihood of any given risk turning into an accident, injury or loss. 3.5. Assess the consequences of particular occurrences in order to determine the degree of emphasis to be placed on the risk. 3.6. Determine suitable techniques to analyse the likelihood and consequences of particular risks. |
4. Undertake assessment of organisational risk. | 4.1. Establish specific risk-evaluation criteria for each risk classification or individual risk, consistent with the risk-management policy. 4.2. Compare the level of risk established during the analysis process. 4.3. Rank or prioritise risks for further action, taking account of the wider context of the risk. 4.4. Consider the objectives of the organisation and the extent of opportunity which could result from taking the risk. 4.5. Accept risks that fall into the low or acceptable categories without further treatment. 4.6. Treat risks that fall outside the low or acceptable categories. |
5. Prepare and implement an organisational risk-management program. | 5.1. Identify specific risk-treatment options applicable to risks that fall outside the acceptable categories that have the potential to impact upon the organisation. 5.2. Evaluate risk-treatment options according to the organisation’s risk-management policy and risk-evaluation criteria. 5.3. Prepare and document the organisation risk-management plan. 5.4. Establish strategies and procedures to implement the risk-management program. 5.5. Develop and implement training to inform employees and volunteers of the organisation’s risk-management program. 5.6. Monitor and review staff compliance with risk-management procedures. |
6. Monitor and evaluate the risk-management program. | 6.1. Monitor and review the effectiveness of the risk-management plan, to ensure changing circumstances within the organisation do not alter risk priorities. 6.2. Periodically review acceptable or low risks to ensure they remain acceptable. 6.3. Determine and analyse activities, projects or operations which do not achieve their performance outcomes according to the risk-management program, and determine potential causes. 6.4. Analyse incidents which occur that indicate a near miss and review the risk-management plan. 6.5. Make changes to the conduct of activities or to organisation operations according to review recommendations. 6.6. Implement recommendations in future risk-analysis audits of the organisation. |
