ASSESSMENT DETAILS
1) ONLINE QUIZ (Conducted through Blackboard)
You will be required to complete an online assessment on RMIT’s Blackboard interface, on or before week 3 of the course.
If your attempt is not satisfactory, you may rest the test until you achieve the required pass mark.
The assessment covers key areas OH&S legislation as relevant to the entertainment and media production industries.
Note there is an extensive list of information resources located in the Blackboard folder for the unit.
You are advised to review these documents before undergoing the quiz.
2) JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS & SUPPORTING EVIDENCE IMAGES
Part A:
You are required to complete a JSA (Job Safety Analylis) report of a workplace, or simulated workplace, in the the supplied form:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l_7iK_YdopMZXzNLBQOh467IbxRo8EHgFUpR4Skqg_8/copy
In the JSA you will need to identify a minimum of 5 (five) potential OHS / WHS hazards, and document them in your report, addressing the following four areas:
* ACTIVITY - What the task that is being completed?
* HAZARDS - What is the hazard you have identified?
* RISK CONTROL MEASURES - Propose potential solutions to deal with the identified risk.
* WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? - Identify who must carry out the risk control measure.
Part B:
You must then take a photo of each one of the potential hazards to provide evidence of risks identified in your JSA, and submit them with your report.
These images serve as evidence of the risks / hazards.
ASSESSMENT DELIVERABLES
ASSESSMENT 1
For assessment 1, the quiz is available on Blackboard.
Note the quiz is timed.
ASSESSMENT 2
For assessment 2, the submission required will be (A) a completed JSA and (B) a minimum of five photographs which serve as supporting evidence for the JSA.
The report and images must be uploaded to the Google+ Community for the unit, allocating them to the category “Assessment” as you do.
The submission may be as document, PDF or even image, however note the image file would need to be sufficient resolution to be clearly legible.
All other posts such as queries and discussions, will be categorised by you as “Discussion”.
For assessment 2B, a minimum of five photo images must be uploaded in order of risk number for assessor and cohort to be able to easily identify which hazard eavch photo relates to.
This will be uploaded into the same post as the JSA document.
We suggest using the Soldering class component of the unit “Mix Live Audio” EMPL5641c as your simulated workplace, which will allow you complete the assessments 2 and 3 for this unit.
Alternatively you may choose an alternative by agreement with teacher. For example practical placement at live performance / event venues, also within Mix Live Audio.

You will receive written feedback on your work via the online interface. Where relevant, this feedback will also include suggestions on how you can proceed to the next stage of developing your projects.
Student Progress (web link)
Monitoring academic progress is an important enabling and proactive strategy to assist you to achieve your learning potential.
Special consideration for Late Submission (web link)
All assessment tasks are required to be completed to a satisfactory level. If you are unable to complete any piece of assessment by the due date, you will need to apply for an extension. You can apply in writing for up to a week’s extension from your course teacher. If you need a longer extension, you wil need to apply for special consideration.
