General Information
Requirements
Assessment Method
Assessors can use the criteria to determine levels of prior learning through dialog with the candidate, direct observation and any other appropriate and relevant evidence. They can score each of the criteria "L", "S", "H". An "N" indicates no evidence and this is the default setting. "L" indicates some capability but some help still required and the candidate is not secure with that particular criterion. "S" indicates secure mastery of the criterion. "H" indicates that the candidate is operating beyond the basic requirements of the criterion. If all criteria are matched with "S" or "H" the unit is passed. All criteria must be at least "S" for a pass.
The Entry 3 learner will be becoming increasingly capable of making use of skills, knowledge and understanding to carry out simple structured tasks and activities with occasional guidance and intervention. They will start to relate tasks to contexts and be aware of consequences of actions for themselves and others. While support and guidance are still needed they will demonstrate increasing capability of working self-sufficiently with simple structured tasks.
An activity will typically be 'structured' when:
* there are several steps that need to be sequential; and
* the learner has opportunities to practice the sequence or clear guidance is provided.
1.1 I can adopt safe work practices in line with local guidelines
The candidate should be able to show safe and sensible practice as required
Evidence: Relevant information in their publications and documents.
Additional information and guidance
Depending on the industry and local laws, candidates will show that they can work to the required safety standards.
1.2 I can identify potential hazards associated with my work
Candidates should be able to understand and work with hazards
Evidence: From portfolio files and assessor verification.
Additional information and guidance
Various work places will have their own rules as well as national rules on hazards and candidates need to show that they understand these and can apply their own safe practices as a result.
1.3 I can identify emergencies and respond accordingly
Candidates should be able to recognise actual emergency situations
Evidence: From portfolio files.
Additional information and guidance
Candidates should be able to demonstrate their own safety actions after being shown the emergency practices for different situations at their work place.
1.4 I can protect the work and its surrounding area from damage
Candidates will be able to make sure their work is sfe and secure
Evidence: Assessors observation of finalised published work.
Candidates need to demonstrate they can keep their work from damage. For example, if they lay some cement floor, how do they keep it from getting imprints of other debris falling into it to ruin it.
1.5 I can dispose of waste according to legislation
Candidates will be able to show their understanding of environmental laws
Evidence: Assessors observation of finalised published work.
Some materials that candidates will work with are likely to be hazards to the environment. Most will have instructions on their package to show where and how to dispose of them safely. Candidates need to show they are aware of these and why and follow the recommended guidelines.
1.6 I can use tools and materials safely
Candidates will be able to show a good appreciation and practice of safety
Evidence: Assessors observation of finalised published work.
Some candidates work will require them to deal with dangerous tools like power saws etc. They need to show they can handle them appropriately and sue safety best practices.
1.7 I can use personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with guidelines
Candidates will be able to demonstrate use and understanding of safety equipment
Evidence: Assessors observation of finalised published work.
If a job calls for eye of breathing protection equipment, then candidates need to show they follow these guidelines.
The assessor should keep a record of assessment judgements made for each candidate and make notes of any significant issues for any candidate. They must be prepared to enter into dialog with their Account Manager and provide their assessment records to the Account Manager through the on-line mark book. They should be prepared to provide evidence as a basis for their judgements should it be required by the Principal Assessor or their Account Manager/external moderator. Before authorising certification, the Account Manager must be satisfied that the assessors judgements are sound.
