Course Description
This unit covers contributing to the management of risk in electrotechnology systems related to OHS, environment, resources and financial viability. It encompasses contributing to the identification of electrotechnology systems risks; and risk events, the likelihood and consequences of such events, evaluating risk, risk management planning and mitigation of risk.

Overview of Assessment
This is a progressive assessment, the students are required to undertake summative assessments as follows:
Documentation of workplace scenario
Assignment work
Assessment Tasks
Written Test, 40 %
• Assignment and work performance simulations projects 30%
• Laboratory Test 30 %
• A Pass in the Learning Unit when evidence of learning is collected according to the requirements as stated at “assessment criteria”. The documentation must be clearly communicated and submitted to supervisor within specified time.
This competency will be taught together with UEENEEE033B
It has same teaching schedule as of and described above.
