Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to demonstrate awareness of factors to reduce road harm. It includes road network, traffic control and other environmental factors. Licensing or certification requirements are not applicable to this unit.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Identify features of the road network and traffic control devices
- 1.1 Primary/passive safety features of the road network are identified
- 1.2 Secondary/active safety features of the road network are identified
2Identify the significance of the safety features of the road networks and traffic control devices
- 2.1 The significance of road markings and their meaning are identified and described
- 2.2 The significance of traffic control devices and their meaning are identified and observed
- 2.3 The legal penalties for not obeying road markings and traffic control devices are described
3Determine environmental factors that contribute to road harm
- 3.1 Environmental factors affecting road harm are identified
- 3.2 How these environmental factors affect road harm are described
- 3.3 Driver actions when environmental factors are encountered are described

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required knowledge and skills, the range statement and the assessment guidelines for this Training Package.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria of this unit and include demonstration of:
applying the underpinning knowledge and skills
identifying active and passive features of road network
identifying significance of traffic control devices and their meaning
applying relevant legislation
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Performance is demonstrated consistently over a period of time and in a suitable range of contexts
Resources for assessment include:
a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulated practical and knowledge assessment, and/or
access to an appropriate range of relevant operational situations
In both real and simulated environments, access is required to:
relevant and appropriate materials and equipment, and
applicable documentation including regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals
Method of assessment
As a minimum, assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate assessments using written/practical/oral assessments
Practical assessment must occur:
through activities in an appropriately simulated environment, and/or
in an appropriate range of situations
Simulators are not suitable for final assessment of this unit of competency
Driving a vehicle is not part of the assessment of this unit of competency
