Overview of Assessment

The student must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of the competencies in order to be deemed competent. Assessment methods have been designed to measure achievement of each competency in a flexible manner over a range of assessment tasks. Students will be assessed by written reports, observation and a classroom based practical activity. Students are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to their teacher to ensure that the relevant competency standards are being met


Assessment Tasks

Revision Tests on OH&S workbooks
Research Assignment on WORKSAFE
Participation in OH&S Representative Activity
Consistent setup of workstation using correct OH&S Practice

You will be given further information about the assessment tasks in class.


Assessment Matrix

A pass in each assessment will result in a grade for the student. Where a pass is achieved competency for that assessment is given. Where there are multiple assessments for a single competency the students must achieve competency (a pass) in each assessment to be deemed competent. Competency MUST be achieved in all assessments of the course for a graded result to be obtained.
