Negotiating assessment

Page 5

Where possible, the assessment tasks in this assignment have been designed to provide you with flexibility and choice in how you go about your assessment. However, Training Services

Australia recognises that the assessment tasks described herein are not the only way of demonstrating competence in the unit. Should you wish to provide alternative evidence to demonstrate your competence, please discuss this with your TSA assessor.

Should you negotiate with your assessor to provide alternative evidence to what is described in this assignment, you must document the agreed evidence and have your assessor sign the agreement before you proceed. This is required to prevent potential misunderstandings.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is a form of cheating. It is taking and using someone else's thoughts, writings or inventions and representing them as your own.

The following list outlines some of the activities for which a participant can be accused of plagiarism:

 Handing in assessments markedly similar to or copied from another student

 Presenting the work of another individual or group as their own work

 Handing up assessments without the adequate acknowledgement of sources used, including assessments taken totally or in part from the internet

Plagiarism is a serious act. Participants found to have plagiarised any part of their assignment will be as sessed as ‘not yet competent’ and all course fees will be forfeited.

Should you have any doubts about including the work of other authors in your assessments, please consult with your facilitator.

Please be sure to follow any organisational procedures relating to health and safety training when undertaking this task.

Part A – Training needs analysis

Carry out an analysis of the health and safety needs of your work team.

Please ensure you consider the following in your analysis as a minimum:



have all team members undergone a general health and safety induction?



have all team members had training in workplace emergency procedures?



does your team include enough people with knowledge of first aid?



have all team members been trained in the safe operation of work plant and equipment they are required to use?

You must conduct your training needs analysis and present the results in accordance with any applicable organisational requirements. A sample training needs analysis template has been attached for you to use if appropriate. You may wish to modify this or develop your own template to better suit your situation.

Part B – Plan for meeting OHS training needs

A sample Training Action Plan Template is attached for you to use if appropriate. Please feel free to modify this to better suit your needs.

Other options for showing how you have planned to meet OHS training needs include:



preparing individual training plans for each of your staff



converting your training needs analysis documentation into a plan by adding information on the type of training to be provided, target completion dates, etc

Examples of these types of training plans are included in Section 4 of your participant manual for the course.

Please submit a copy of your plan with your assignment.





Part C – Cost of training

Provide two examples of situations where you have identified and reported costs associated with the provision of health and safety training to management for inclusion in financial plans.

Assessment Task 3 – Workplace learning

*** Please complete Part A OR Part B of this assessment task ***

This assessment task is designed to assist you to demonstrate your competence in providing information to your staff and helping to satisfy their training needs. The evidence you generate from undertaking this task should relate primarily to elements 1 and 3 of the unit BSBCMN411A.

Section 4 of your participant manual contains some useful ideas and information which may assist you with this task.

Part A – Induction session

Conduct a health and safety induction for one of your team members. This should preferably be for a relatively new team member who has not yet undergone an induction. Alternatively, you may feel that one or more of your staff would benefit from a refresher induction.

If no staff require an induction, or are likely to require an induction in the near future, you may provide a copy of a previous induction you have carried out.

Please include with your assignment, a copy of the induction checklist, signed by yourself and the staff member who was inducted. Please ensure you clearly indicate where, as part of the induction, you addressed:

1. Relevant provisions of health and safety legislation, codes of practice, etc

2. Information on the organisation’s policies, programs and procedures

3. Information on workplace hazards, risks and risk control measures

4. Evacuation procedures and various emergency procedures (e.g., fire)

5. First aid

6. Reporting procedures for workplace hazards and health and safety incidents

If you use a standard induction checklist for your organisation, please ensure the induction also includes issues which may be specific to your work team (if any).

OR





Part B – Coaching / training session

Conduct a short coaching / training session with one or more of your staff on a health and safety issue. Ideally, you should use the session to address a training need you identified as part of the previous assessment task.

Examples of topics that might be suitable include:



how to operate a piece of machinery / equipment



how to undertake a work process correctly



how to use PPE



how to report workplace incidents / accidents



emergency evacuation procedures

Please ensure you include in your session an overview and explanation of the topic, and where appropriate, a demonstration, and opportunities for the participant(s) to practice.

The session could be conducted as part of a team toolbox meeting if appropriate.

Please submit with your assignment a record of the training / coaching session. If your organisation has a form for documenting the session, please fill this out and include a copy with your assignment. Alternatively, you may wish to use the attached template.



a hazard inspection and risk control plan for the general work environment, the work site, or part of the work site



a job safety analysis or job hazard analysis for a relatively dangerous / high risk activity



a risk control plan relating to the operation of a piece of plant / machinery / equipment

Please follow your organisation’s procedures relating to hazard identification, risk assessment and risk control when undertaking this task, and use appropriate organisational forms and documentation.

Note: If your organisation does not have appropriate forms / documents, you may wish to download an appropriate template from the TSA website.

Please provide a copy of the completed documentation, and answer the following questions:

1. Who did you involve in developing the plan and why?

2. What approach(es) did you use to identify the hazards?

3. Who did you communicate the plan to and how?

4. Comment on the effectiveness of the controls you implemented and any improvements that could be made.





Assessment Task 5 – Health and safety record keeping

This assessment task is designed to assist you to demonstrate your competence in relation to implementing and monitoring your organisation’s procedures for maintaining health and safety records (element 6 of unit BSBCMN411A). Section 7 of your participant manual contains some useful ideas and information which may assist you with this task.

Part A – Reporting workplace injuries / disease

1. Briefly outline your responsibilities as a frontline manager for completing and maintaining records of occupational injury and disease in your workplace.

2. Provide a copy of an incident / injury / disease report which you have completed in accordance with organisational re quirements. If this is a report of a ‘real’ incident, for confidentiality purposes you should blank out the names of the parties involved.

If you have never completed an incident / injury / disease report before, you may prepare a ‘sample’ report for a potential workplace incident. Please ensure this is clearly identified as a ‘sample only’ so there is no risk that it could be mistakenly taken as being evidence of an actual incident.

3. Briefly describe your organisation’s procedures for processing the incident / injury / disease report after you have completed it (e.g., who it would be forwarded to in your organisation and / or how it would be stored).





Part B – Using health and safety data to identify hazards and monitor risk control procedures

1. Briefly outline how your organisation uses information from health and safety records to identify hazards and monitor risk control procedures.

2. Show how you have accessed and analysed your organisation’s health and safety data to identify hazards and monitor risk control procedures. Use the steps outlined below to do this. i. Access health and safety records / data for your team. If the number of records for your team is very small, you may wish to access data for your department, organisation or industry to help make your analysis more meaningful.

Examples of the types of records you may wish to use include:



Accident / incident / injury reports, and / or



Monitoring and inspection reports, and / or



Health and safety meeting minutes ii. Review / analyse the data you accessed in step i.

What are the key issues, trends and patterns revealed by the information and how are these relevant to your team? iii. What hazards are suggested by the analysis and how does your work team currently control these? iv. What additional measures (if any) could you consider putting in place to control the hazards suggested by the analysis?

Note: If appropriate, you may wish to contact a member of your organisation’s safety department in order to access information which will assist you to complete this activity.




Assessment Task 6

– Third party report

Page 25

Assessment Task 6 – Third party report

For this assessment task you are required to obtain a third party report from your supervisor or a representative from your organisation’s safety department.

The purpose of this report is to help confirm that you understand and apply your organisation’s policies and procedures for OHS, in accordance with the requirements of

BSBCMN411A Monitor a safe workplace .

The suggested approach for completing this task is to:

1. Provide your third party with a copy of the attached instructions (page 26) and the third

party report documentation (starting on page 27).

2. Arrange a time to meet with them to discuss the third party report. We estimate that the meeting would typically take between ten and thirty minutes, depending on how familiar the third party is with your work in relation to OHS. We recommend that you bring a copy of your completed assignment to the meeting in case the third party would like to see some examples of the evidence you have produced.

3. Ask the third party to fill out the report (including signature and date at the bottom of the second page) and get them to return it to you for inclusion in your assignment.




Assessment Task 6


Page 26

Instructions for Third Party Evidence Report

(To be completed by the candidate’s supervisor or a representative from the organisation’s safety department)

In order to make a judgement about the candidate’s ability to ‘Monitor a safe workplace’ we are required to collect evidence from a range of contexts and over a period of time.

Some of the main sources of evidence that we use are samples of the candidate’s work products, and the candidate’s responses to questions about how they undertake certain tasks and activities in the workplace. While this generally gives us a good indication of the candidate’s overall knowledge and ability, it is sometimes difficult to judge how well the candidate understands and follows the organisation’s specific requirements for occupational health and safety.

Consequently, we request that you assist in making this judgement by completing this third party evidence report. We value your contribution and ask that you answer the questions honestly.

We recommend that you have a short discussion with the candidate about each of the points in the attached checklist as a way of satisfying yourself that the candidate meets the organisation’s requirements. You may also wish to take a look at some of the evidence the candidate has prepared for their assignment as a way of double checking that the candidate has the required knowledge and understanding.

If you believe that the candidate’s knowledge, understanding and performance is inadequate in some of the areas covered in this report, we request that you work with the candidate to help improve their performance in these areas to a satisfactory level. Alternatively, you may wish to speak with a consultant at Training Services Australia about additional training you believe would be required to help the candidate reach the required standard of performance.

Should you have any questions or concerns with regard to completing this third party report, or would like to discuss any aspects of the candidate’s performance in relation to this unit, please contact Training Services Australia on (08) 9473 1900.

We would appreciate if you could please give the completed report to the candidate to submit with their assignment.

Please note that a Training Services Australia assessor may contact you should we require additional information to assist in making our assessment decision.
