- 2.7 Strategic plans are developed incorporating organisation initiatives as per established procedures
- 2.8 Persons selected are trained for emergency exercises to increase response times and knowledge of hazards and control measures according to Risk Management Plan
- 2.9 Emergency exercises are coordinated and monitored according to the risk management plan
3 Review risk management plan
- 3.1 Final evaluation of the risk management plan is undertaken to ensure it complies with all requirements and includes all specifications and documentations needed to complete the project
- 3.2 Appropriate persons are notified of completion and reports and completion documents are finalised
- 3.3 Reports and completion documents are submitted to relevant persons for approval and where applicable, statutory or regulatory approval
- 3.4 Approved copies of the risk management plan are issued and records are updated in accordance with established procedures
- 3.5 The risk management plan and associated activities are reviewed and assessed for relevance and quality

EVIDENCE GUIDE
9) The Evidence Guide forms an integral part of this Unit and shall be used in conjunction with all components parts of this unit and performed in accordance with the Assessment Guidelines of this Training Package.
Overview of Assessment
9.1)
Longitudinal competency development approaches to assessment, such as Profiling, require data to be reliably gathered in a form that can be consistently interpreted over time. This approach is best utilised in Apprenticeship programs and reduces assessment intervention. It is the Industry’s preferred model for apprenticeships. However, where summative (or final) assessment is used it is to include the application of the competency in the normal work environment or, at a minimum, the application of the competency in a realistically simulated work environment. It is recognised that, in some circumstances, assessment in part or full can occur outside the workplace. However, it must be in accord with industry and regulatory policy in this regard.
Methods chosen for a particular assessment will be influenced by various factors. These include the extent of the assessment, the most effective locations for the assessment activities to take place, access to physical resources, additional safety measures that may be required and the critical nature of the competencies being assessed.
The critical safety nature of working with electricity, electrical equipment, gas or any other hazardous substance/material carries risk in deeming a person competent. Hence, sources of evidence need to be ‘rich’ in nature so as to minimise error in judgment.
Activities associated with normal every day work have a bearing on the decision as to how much and how detailed the data gathered will contribute to its ‘richness’. Some skills are more critical to safety and operational requirements while the same skills may be more or less frequently practised. These points are raised for the assessors to consider when choosing an assessment method and developing assessment instruments. Sample assessment instruments are included in the Assessment Guidelines of this Training Package.
Critical aspects of evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
9.2)
Before the critical aspects of evidence are considered all prerequisites shall be met.
Evidence for competence in this unit shall be considered holistically. Each element and associated Performance Criteria shall be demonstrated on at least two occasions in accordance with the ‘Assessment Guidelines — UEG11’. Evidence shall also comprise:
A representative body of Performance Criteria demonstrated within the timeframes typically expected of the discipline, work function and industrial environment. In particular this shall incorporate evidence that shows a candidate is able to:
Implement Occupational Health and Safety workplace procedures and practices including the use of risk control measures as specified in the Performance Criteria and range
Apply sustainable energy principles and practices as specified in the Performance Criteria and range
Demonstrate an understanding of the essential knowledge and associated skills as described in this unit to such an extent that the learner’s performance outcome is reported in accordance with the preferred approach; namely a percentile graded result, where required by the regulated environment
Demonstrate an appropriate level of employability skills

OHS policy and work procedures and instructions.
Suitable work environment, facilities, equipment and materials to undertake actual work as prescribed by this Unit.
Appropriate environmental regulation and work practices.
Appropriate organisational requirements.
Appropriate work environment, equipment and tools.
In addition to the resources listed above in Context of and specific resources for assessment, evidence should show demonstrated competency in coordinating and monitoring implementation of a risk management plan for a utilities industry facility

Method of assessment
9.4)
This Unit shall be assessed by methods given in Volume 1, Part 3 ‘Assessment Guidelines’.
Note: Competent performance with inherent safe working practices is expected in the Industry to which this Unit applies. This requires that the specified Essential Knowledge and Associated Skills are assessed in a structured environment which is primarily intended for learning/assessment and incorporates all necessary equipment and facilities for learners to develop and demonstrate the Essential Knowledge and Associated Skills described in this unit.
Concurrent assessment and relationship with other units
