6 Assessor Information This Assessor Assessment Pack is designed to assist you in assessing Learners completing the assessment for BSBWHS201 Contribute to Health and Safety of Self and Others. It may refer to the simulated business, Bounce Fitness and contains examples of what is in the Learner Assessment Pack, suggestions for assessing and the parameters of information required to provide a Satisfactory or Needs More Evidence decision. Notes, key points, and answers to guide and assist you are contained in this version, but are not in the Learner version. If you prefer to use the business of the Learner, simply substitute that business name. The simulated business, Bounce Fitness, is accessed by going to precisiongroup.com.au. You will have been given an access code for each Trainer/ Assessor Pack that you purchased. You will also have received an access code for each Learner Pack that you purchased. Access is valid for 12 months from the date of first log in. If you require access after this time, it may be purchased by going to < Each Learner has a Learner Assessment Pack and that is where it is intended that they will complete their assessment tasks using the simulated business, Bounce Fitness. If you prefer to use the organisation of the Learner or your own business model, simply inform the Learner and request that they replace references to Bounce Fitness with the name of your preferred organisation. Each Assessor Assessment Pack is made up of three parts: Assessment Delivery Assessor Information Steps for Assessors Assessment Agreement Assessment Tasks Context Marking Schedule Recording Record of Assessment Copy of Unit of Competency Copy of Assessment Requirements 52

7 Before you commence assessing, ensure that you have a good knowledge of the subject, the assessment requirements, situation of the Learner, and the expectations of the industry to which the assessing is related. Most assessments are designed to be completed using the simulated business, but your Registered Training Organisation (RTO) may prefer to use the industry of the Learner or their own business model. Learners may be required to demonstrate knowledge and skills which may be difficult for the Assessor to witness. An Evidence Record is supplied which will allow the knowledge or skill to be verified by at least one third party signatory and preferably two or more. These witnesses would usually be current or recent supervisors, or you, the Assessor. As you encounter each task, explanations are made and it is up to you to use your experience and background knowledge of assessing theory to make a judgement as to whether it is sufficient and credible. Remember to be governed by the guidelines of the RTO for whom you are assessing. This organisation will have quality assurance documentation defining standards and processes to which you must adhere. Records must be kept of all aspects of the assessment in the Learner Pack. This will all evidence the why of your judgement. Keeping detailed notes is vital, as is the rationale for judgement. Be sure to keep records of any reasonable adjustments to the Assessment Task/s that you may have applied. The way you record all information is crucial. It is essential that you ask: 1. What did you see or hear? Write it down! 2. How does this vision or information relate to this unit? Write it down!! 3. What professional judgement did you make? Why? Write it down!!! The record of assessment is a legal document and must be signed, dated, and stored as required by your RTO. Please note that while each performance criterion has been noted, holistic assessment is desirable. It is in the interests of accuracy and credibility that all performance criteria are included. Individual gaps in performance are able to be noted more effectively if necessary. 53

8 Steps for Assessors Before you receive the completed Learner Assessment Pack: 1. Carefully study the unit topic, Assessment, and industry. Investigate the simulated business or conduct conversations with employers as appropriate, to understand any processes, policies, or procedures that may be necessary for Learners to know, and to which they may refer. Understand the industry requirements and how any legislative requirements impact on their organisation. You will need this information to properly assess their employees. 2. Explain the conditions of assessment to the Learners and complete the Assessment Agreement. 3. Prepare your Tasks to contextualise the Assessment to meet the needs of the industry for which you are providing the training. You may prefer to print these and include them with this Assessment. In the Assessor Assessment Pack Recording section, note your additional Tasks and mapping under the Context Detail heading, to enable you to record the Learner Assessment results for the contextualised Tasks. Conducting the Assessment: 1. Prior to commencement of the Assessment, Learners will be given their copy of the Learner Assessment Pack and access to the simulated business. They will have discussed with you the Assessment format and have signed the Assessment Agreement. 2. At this stage you will commence assessing any Tasks against the Assessment Marking Schedule supplied. If you are not using the simulated business for assessment, you will need to have obtained information from the employer. Because there is so much diversity, it is impossible for all variations and permutations in legislation, codes, awards, organisational processes, etc. to be included here. Again, it is your judgement that will decide if the response to questions and Tasks is sufficient. Recording Sheets for Tasks have been provided. Please record each Learner s information and outcomes in their Learner Assessment Pack and ensure that you include your justification for your final decision. There must be enough detail to allow anyone who was not involved in the process to understand your judgement. 3. Once Learners have completed and returned their Assessment to you, you will arrange a time with them for the feedback discussion and to advise if there are any further steps for them to take. Learners have the right to appeal any decision. 54

11 Assessment 57

12 Tasks Learners are required to complete all tasks as instructed. Consider evidence as required by tasks and use accordingly to contextualise and meet the needs of each Learner. Contextualisation of Assessments by RTOs Precision Group recommends to all RTOs that they contextualise with additional tasks to suit particular industry requirements and specific organisational requirements. Contextualisation must retain the integrity of the assessment and the outcome of the unit of competency. 58

13 Example Only The Learner must complete these tasks on their own paper. To be assessed for this competency, you must demonstrate your ability to: Follow all relevant procedures and instructions relating to Work Health and Safety (WHS) and emergency incidents Identify and report hazards to designated personnel Contribute to WHS consultative processes. The following Assessment Tasks must be completed by you to enable you to demonstrate this knowledge and these skills. These may be conducted using your training centre, a location selected by your Assessor or in your own workplace if you are able to access all the documents and conduct all of the activities. Ensure that you gain the approval of your choice with your Assessor before commencing. You may also need to conduct further research. 59

14 Task 1 Observation and Questioning Task 1 requires that you conduct safety procedures, pre-start systems, and equipment checks routinely. a. Your Assessor will observe you during your work to ensure that you are able to follow the safety procedures when you conduct your work duties. b. Your Assessor will ask you questions during your demonstration that are relevant to your workplace regarding your workplace emergency procedures and reporting to ensure your underpinning knowledge of why you are conducting the procedures. These questions may be noted in the Context section and marked on the Recording Sheet in the Context Detail section. 60

15 Marking Schedule Key Points and Suggested Answers Record what you saw or heard, how it related to the performance criteria, your judgement, and why you made that judgement in the Learner Assessment Pack. Also ensure that you record your feedback. Task 1 Observation and Questioning The Assessor must observe the Learner in their workplace conducting their normal workplace duties and observe the items described on the Assessor Verification form. A satisfactory performance must be observed and noted at each point. All questions asked by the Assessor must be answered satisfactorily. This knowledge will be supported by the Manager s Evidence Record. Task 2 Practical: Implement Workplace Safety Requirements The Learner must have accurately identified four potential workplace hazards in the location where you have taken them. These will vary significantly depending on the nature of the location. All hazards must be able to potentially cause harm to the person or the workplace in general. Potential hazards may be drawn from ventilation, tripping and falling hazards, chemicals, and a range of others. As well as briefly describing the hazard, the Learner MUST have described the method they would use to control the hazard. In the first instance they should consider eliminating the hazard (removing it); secondly, they should consider isolating it (placing barriers around it, covering it) and only if any of these are not at all practical should they begin considering minimising the hazard (through signs etc). If minimising or isolating techniques have been used, a description of why better methods were not used should be enclosed. The Learner must have finally been able to identify who the hazards, risks, and emergencies should be reported to. This will vary from organisation to organisation, but will generally be the Workplace Health and Safety Officer. 64

16 Task 3 Project: Participate in WHS Consultative Processes The Learner must have provided a report that outlines their overall contribution to workplace health and safety. The report must be judged as being accurate through observation and verification by a supervisor, trainer or assessor before you proceed to judge it. The Learner must demonstrate that they have raised issues of health and safety with appropriate people within the organisation. This may be managers, co-workers, supervisors, safety officers, or with external health and safety agencies or their unions. The Learner must have outlined why they reported or raised the issue with the appropriate people. A range of reasons may be outlined, they may include making a suggestion, raising a concern, reporting a hazard or accident, or reporting unsafe work practices. They may have done this informally through discussions or more formally through memos or reports. The Learner should have also outlined their participative contributions, which may include developing health and safety plans or procedures, attending meetings or training other individuals, as well as raising issues with others. The discussion provided by the Learner should outline methods used as well as outlining what they feel they have achieved by undertaking the contributions they made. Task 4 Theory: Follow Safety Procedures The Learner must have described step-by-step procedures for dealing with one accident and one evacuation. Be sure that these procedures include what to do in the emergency as well as where to go, and how to report. General principles for any accident are: check for your own safety, remove the patient if safe, apply CPR and any other relevant first aid and call an ambulance. The Learner may have also outlined accident reporting procedures. PC4.1 is co-assessed with PC2.4. The same judgement statement applies. Task 5 Evidence Record The Evidence Record must be completed by the Assessor in discussion with the supervisor of the Learner. All areas must be satisfactory for the Learner to be deemed Satisfactory. 65
