Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability to:
determine work requirements
identify hazards and risks associated with the worksite
establish appropriate plan for the performance of work
apply any state/territory licensing, OHS and environmental legislation, standards and industry codes of practice.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
The application of competency may be assessed in the workplace or simulated work environment.
Assessment may be conducted before a candidate goes to site using appropriate simulations, scenarios and questioning.
The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team.
The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.
Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.
Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required.
The following resources should be made available:
workplace location or simulated workplace
a bank of appropriate scenarios.
Method of assessment

Guidance information for assessment
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and suitable to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the competency being assessed. In all cases where practical assessment is used, it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess the underpinning knowledge.
