Assessment Guidelines
What will be assessed
The purpose of this assessment is to assess your ability to complete tasks outlined in elements and
performance criteria of this unit in the context of the job role, and:
implement and monitor adherence to workplace health and safety procedures in three of the following real or
simulated situations:
o evacuation of staff and customers
o security management of cash, documents, equipment, keys or people
o handling chemicals and hazardous substances
o hazard identification and reporting
o incident and accident reporting
o risk assessment and reporting
coordinate consultative processes for managing the above workplace health, safety and security issues
coordinate risk assessments, WHS training, and the maintenance of records relating to above situations
monitor the effectiveness of the WHS system and identify:
o required adjustments
o staff training needs
demonstrate management practices that must be implemented for compliance with state or territory
occupational health and safety (OHS) or WHS legislation during above situations.
Place/Location where assessment will be conducted

Part A requires you to plan for 3 situations of your choice as outlined below:
1. You are required to select 3 situations as listed in the task description on the following pages.
2. Once your situations have been selected, you need to access the relevant codes of practice from the
Safework website or the website governing WHS relevant for your state.
3. After you have identified the specific requirements for each situation you will need to:
a. plan, develop and implement consultation processes with your staff/ colleagues;
b. conduct risk assessment for each;
c. apply the relevant risk control measures; and
d. implement each situation in instances as instructed by tour trainer.
4. During implementation of each situation you need to identify the effectiveness for each system,
identify any adjustments required and identify any further staff training needs.
5. For each situation you need to provide:
a) Clear reference to websites or sources including sections and pages where you located the
relevant legislation
b) An implementation plan that provides the steps and processes for planning consultation, risk
assessment and implementation for each situation
c) The actual records required to meet legislative requirements (for example consultation
records for staff consultation/ where incident reporting is selected the appropriate form(s)/
where chemicals and hazardous substances are selected the relevant SDS, PPE register,
training register etc./ where security management of any kind is selected the relevant SOPs,
emergency procedures, staff training records/ where evacuation is selected, the floorplan(s),
emergency procedures, wardens, forms for reports as relevant etc.)
Part B requires you to implement and monitor the effectiveness of each situation to identify the need for
adjustment and any training requirements for staff to overcome any shortfalls or non-compliance that is
identified
6. The observation criteria below provide a guideline for generic key criteria.
7. Additional criteria will be added by your trainer as relevant for the specific situations

• Minor/no risk (risk score 1-2) – is acceptable. No further action on risk control measures is necessary
• Moderate risk (risk score 3-4) - indicates conditional acceptability. Further risk control measures should be considered and existing controls monitored
• Major risk (risk score 5-6) - indicates unacceptable level of risk. Controls and measures must be developed and implemented in the short to medium term
• Catastrophic risk (risk score 7-16) - indicates unacceptable level of risk. Controls must be immediately implemented or the risk eliminated (i.e. cease activity)
