Elements and Performance Criteria

RANGE STATEMENT

The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.


Areas of impact

Asset and resource base of the organisation and including personnel
Revenue and entitlements
Costs of activities both direct and indirect
People/community
Performance
Timing and schedule of activities
The environment
Intangibles such as reputation, goodwill, quality of life
Organisational behaviour


Classification of risk

Diseases affecting humans, animals and plants
Economic perils (eg, currency fluctuations, interest rates, share market)
Environmental (eg, noise, contamination, pollution)
Financial (eg, contractual risks, misappropriation of funds, fraud, fines)
Human perils (eg, explosions, riots, strikes, sabotage)
Natural perils (eg, climatic conditions, earthquakes, bushfires, vermin, volcanic activity)
Occupational health and safety (eg, inadequate safety measures, poor safety management)
Product liability (eg, design error, substandard quality control, inadequate testing)
Professional liability (eg, wrong advice, negligence, design error)
Property damage (eg, fire, water damage, earthquakes, contamination, human error)
Public liability (eg, public access, egress and safety)
Security (eg, cash arrangements, vandalism, theft, misappropriation of information, illegal entry)
Technology (eg, obsolescence, advances and failure)


Risk analysis applies to


Support equipment
Personnel safety
Environmental impact
Processes


Sources of risk


Commercial and legal relationships between the organisation and other organisations (eg, suppliers, subcontractors, lessees)
Economic circumstances of the organisation, country, internationally as well as factors contributing to those circumstances (eg, exchange rates)
Human behaviour of both those involved and those not involved in the organisation
Natural events
Political circumstances including legislative changes and factors which may influence other sources of risk
Technology and technical issues both internal and external to the organisation
Management activities and controls
Individual activities

EVIDENCE GUIDE

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Assessment must confirm sufficient knowledge of relevant occupational health and safety regulations, statutory legislation and organisational safety procedures and risk management plan
Assessment must confirm the ability to apply knowledge of the organisations' emergency procedures, techniques and operating parameters to conduct a risk analysis of individual activities in accordance with the organisation’s risk management procedures, taking into account all categories of the range of variables statement applicable to the learner’s work environment
In particular, assessment must confirm the ability to effectively implement a structured analysis methodology to a particular recreation activity and clearly and concisely document analysis results and recommendations


Interdependent assessment of units
This unit must be assessed after attainment of competency in the following unit(s):
Nil
This unit must be assessed in conjunction with the following unit(s):
Nil
For the purpose of integrated assessment, this unit may be assessed in conjunction with the following unit(s):
Nil


Resource implications
Assessment of this competency requires access to case studies, scenarios and incident reports
Assessment of this competency will require human resources consistent with those outlined in the Assessment Guidelines


Consistency in performance
Competence in this unit must be assessed over a period of time in order to ensure consistency of performance over the range of variables and contexts applicable to a recreation workplace


Context for assessment
Competency must be demonstrated on-the-job or in a realistic simulated work environment
Assessment of this unit of competence will usually include observation of processes and procedures, oral and/or written questioning on underpinning knowledge and skills and consideration of required attitudes
In cases where the learner does not have the opportunity to cover all relevant categories of the range of variables statements in the work environment, the remainder should be assessed through realistic simulations, projects, previous relevant experience or oral questioning on "What if?" scenarios
Where performance is not directly observed and/or is required to be demonstrated over a "period of time" and/or in a "number of locations", any evidence should be authenticated by colleagues, supervisors, clients or other appropriate persons
