Learning Outcomes
Overview of Assessment
Assessment methods have been designed to measure achievement of the requirements in a flexible manner over a range of assessment tasks, for example:
• direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate
• review of documents on workplace OHS legislation, codes, standards, policies and procedures relevant developed and communicated to employees
• analysis of responses to case studies and scenarios
• demonstration of the application of OHS legislation in conducting work safely
• oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of research and data collection methods to obtain evidence of compliance with OHS legislation
• assessment of duty of care arrangements.
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.
