ASSESSMENT INFORMATION

Assessment for this course includes a theory quiz to confirm understanding of key concepts and legislative requirements. 

Participants will then complete a series of practical assessments involving the facilitation of a risk management process in a simulated workplace environment. These include identifying hazards, assessing risks, selecting and applying appropriate control measures using the hierarchy of controls, and outlining strategies for monitoring and reviewing the effectiveness of implemented controls.

Participants will complete practical assessments by submitting video evidence of tasks performed in a simulated workplace setting. This requires access to video equipment, such as a webcam or smartphone, and the assistance of one volunteer. The volunteer must be 15 years of age or older and consent to being filmed.
