Record of Assessment
Before you commence your assessment, ensure that you have a good knowledge of the subject, have thoroughly read your Learner Resource, and clearly understand the assessment requirements and the expectations of the industry to which the assessment is related.
Assessments are designed to be completed using your industry/organisation, but your Registered Training Organisation (RTO) may assist you by contextualising the unit to be completed in a simulated workplace environment.
You will be required to demonstrate knowledge and skills which must be observed directly by your assessor. Where the observation task may be difficult for the assessor to directly observed, a video recording of the practical observation task must be submitted as supplementary evidence. Verification from at least one third-party signatory, and preferably two or more witnesses is required to confirm your demonstration of these practical knowledge and skills. These witnesses would usually be your current or recent supervisors, or your assessor.
The practical assessment tasks may be completed using your own workplace, a simulated environment, or a mix of both, as instructed by your assessor. To contextualise this assessment to your industry/organisation, you may be asked by your assessor to provide additional information based on your industry/organisation.
Instructions are given for each task. If you have questions, or unclear how to proceed, consult with your assessor.
Records of all aspects of the assessment must be kept in your Learner Assessment Pack
The record of assessment is a legal document and must be signed, dated, and a copy stored as required by your Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
Steps for Learners
Your Learner Assessment Pack:
1. Upon receiving your Learner Assessment Pack, discuss with your assessor the expectations and requirements of this assessment. You may also need to supply contact details of one or two work referees who can confirm your skills in the industry.
Discuss with your assessor if you intend to undertake the practical assessment tasks based on your employing organisation, in a simulated business, or in a mix of both.
2. Your Learner Assessment Pack is where you will get the task information. Complete each task as instructed using either your own workplace, or using a simulated business, as discussed with your assessor.
3. After you complete your assessment, gather and submit your evidence documents as detailed in the task(s) in the timeframe agreed with your assessor.
Your assessor will advise you if there are any further steps for you to take to satisfactorily complete this assessment.
Reasonable Adjustment
Adapted Reasonable Adjustment in teaching, learning and assessment for learners with a disability - November 2010 - Prepared by - Queensland VET Development Centre
Reasonable adjustment in VET is the term applied to modifying the learning environment or making changes to the training delivered to assist a learner with a disability. A reasonable adjustment can be as simple as changing classrooms to be closer to amenities or installing a particular type of software on a computer for a person with vision impairment.
Why make a reasonable adjustment?
We make reasonable adjustments in VET to make sure that learners with a disability have:
· The same learning opportunities as learners without a disability, and
· The same opportunity to perform and complete assessments as those without a disability.
Reasonable adjustment applied to participation in teaching, learning and assessment activities can include:
· Customising resources and assessment activities within the training package or accredited course
· Modifying the presentation medium
· Learner support
· Use of assistive/adaptive technologies
· Making information accessible both before enrolment and during the course
· Monitoring the adjustments to ensure learners needs continue to be met
Assistive/Adaptive Technologies
Assistive/Adaptive technology means ‘software or hardware that has been specifically designed to assist people with disabilities in carrying out daily activities’ (World Wide Web Consortium - W3C). It includes screen readers, magnifiers, voice recognition software, alternative keyboards, devices for grasping, visual alert systems, digital note-takers.
IMPORTANT:
Reasonable adjustment made for collecting learner assessment evidence must not impact on the standard expected by the workplace, as expressed by the relevant unit(s) of competency. For example, if the assessment were gathering evidence of the learner’s competency in writing, allowing the learner to complete the assessment verbally would not be a valid assessment method. The method of assessment used by any reasonable adjustment must still meet the competency requirements.
Resources Required for Assessment
To complete the Practical Assessment tasks, you will require access to:
· Computer with internet and email access, and a working web browser
· Installed software: Word, Adobe Acrobat Reader
· A workplace, or a simulated workplace environment that will allow you access to:
· Relevant information:
· Context and scope of the organisational risk management process based on industry or workplace standards, guidelines, and approaches
· Legislation and regulation related to the context of risk management in the organisation
· Existing arrangements that follow the risk management process
· Workplace documentation, including:
· Federal and/or state/territory legislation and regulations relating to business risk area identified by the learner.
· Government websites relevant to business risk area identified in Workplace Project Task 1.
· Online sources relevant to the business risk area identified in Workplace Project Task 1.
· Organisational policies and procedures for risk treatment implementation
· Workplace templates, including or similar to the following:
· Risk Management Report
· Risk Register
· Risk Treatment Schedule and Plan

Contextualisation of Assessments by RTOs
Contextualisation is the process of modifying assessment tools to make learning more meaningful for your learners and their employers.
Precision Group (Australia) recommends that your RTO contextualise the assessment tools to suit particular industry requirements and specific organisational requirements before using them.
Contextualisation must retain the integrity of the assessment and the outcome of the unit of competency.

Legislation
Brief Explanation on How Legislation Affects Risk Management Processes in the Organisation
a. Work Health and Safety (How to Manage Work Health and Safety Risks) Code of Practice 2015
The WHS Act and Regulations require individuals with a duty to guarantee health and safety to 'manage risks' by eliminating health and safety hazards to the extent that is reasonably feasible, and if this is not possible, minimising those risks to the extent that is reasonably practicable.
b. Managing Hazards and Risks
Workplace health and safety rules impose legal duties on employers, enterprises, and anybody who fits within the description of a "person conducting a business or activity" (PCBU).
Regulation
Brief Explanation on How Regulation Affects Risk Management Processes in the Organisation
a. Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017
It discusses significant regulatory changes, such as those affecting manual handling, noise, fall prevention, tight spaces, plant, and high-risk employment. Hazardous compounds, carcinogenic substances on the schedule, asbestos, and lead are all examples. Construction, significant hazard facilities, mining, and licences are only a few examples.
b. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
Every employer must make a reasonable and sufficient assessment of the risks to his workers' health and safety that they are exposed to while at work, as well as the risks to the health and safety of non-employees arising out of or in connection with his undertaking's conduct.
