Assessment Information
• You must achieve a satisfactory outcome for each of the required criteria of this assessment to be
deemed satisfactory for this assessment. You must achieve a satisfactory result for the
assessments for this unit of competency to achieve a competent result for the unit. If one or more
of the assessment results are not satisfactory, you will be Not Yet Competent for this unit.
• You may follow the Assessment Appeals process in the Student Handbook
(www.academia21.com) if you are not satisfied with:
o the assessment result; or
o the way an assessment was carried out by your trainer; or
o the conditions or structure of the assessment
The student handbook has the steps for reassessment if you receive a Not Yet Competent mark and
do not want to appeal.
Reasonable adjustment for assessment
Where students have highlighted Language, Literacy and Numeracy issues reasonable adjustment to
the assessment can be made. Should you receive a ‘Not Yet Competent’ or ‘Resubmit’ result for the
assessment you will be given the opportunity to re-submit your assessment work with any
amendments requested by your trainer.
The adjustment may include actions such as:
• Student demonstrating knowledge through verbal discussion to identify correct answers
• Student demonstrating knowledge through applied skills
• Allowing additional time relating to disability
• Through consultation amending assessment timeframes
• Assistance in the form of the training location to allow easier access
• Accessing relevant equipment or aids to assist the student
• Adjustments to the assessment methods to cater for any special needs (without effecting the
integrity of the outcome)
If a student requests or is identified as requiring reasonable adjustment to the training and
assessment process a detailed training and assessment plan including timetables, notes regarding
the required adjustments, and any related communications regarding the adjustments must be
maintained in the students file.
The RTO Manager must review and authorise any request for ‘reasonable adjustment’ to ensure that
any adjustments and resulting outcomes are not affecting the integrity of the training and assessment
process.
Location of and completion timeframes for assessment
The location of the assessment will depend upon the nature of the assessment. Direct observation of
student’s skills will be assessed in the practical commercial kitchens/simulated restaurant at
Academia, the timeframes for these assessments will be related to the scheduled times of the
practical classes. Other assessments such as; role plays, in class activities, presentations and written
tests will be conducting in the classroom. The timeframes and due dates for these assessments, as
well as any reports, projects or research assignments, are documented in the stage outlines. Stage
outlines are handed out at the beginning of each term.

Assessment 1 – Report
Your Task:
Using the steps of Hazard Management, a hazard analysis is required to be carried out in a simulated
industry environment or industry workplace in the TH&E industry.
Students are required to conduct a Hazard analysis by first of all finding the hazard in the workplace
• Use the checklist to do this find as many Hazards as you can and provide information on them
• Choose 10 hazards that you have found (2 from each of the 5 categories) i use the Risk matrix to
evaluate the hazard , how dangerous is it ? how often could it happen ?
• Rate the hazard from the most risk to the least risk, put them in order on the Action plan from most
risky to least
• Work out how to reduce the risk from each hazard by using the hierarchy of controls, remember you
can use multiple controls together ie training and PPE
• Then decide on what action will be taken to reduce the risk to an acceptable level . Who will do it
and when will it be done
• Finally, after you have applied these controls was ir successful? is the hazard reduced or
eliminated? if not what else must be done
Hazard Management:
Step 1: Find It – Look for potential hazards or any know with staff
Step 2: Assess it – Use a risk matrix to assess hazard
Step 3: Fix it – Hierarchy of control, implement controls
Step 4: Review it – Evaluate and review
Report:
Report of five (5) hazards from five (5) different categories. Must be presented in a professional format,
with a title page that is easy to read and understand.
I. Introduction: Explain why OHS is important in this scenario. Identify the current Victorian
legislation and the state government body that regulates OHS. Furthermore, clearly outline the
legal requirements in relation to hazard management. This must be included in your reference
list.

II.	Body: Use a checklist to identify multiple hazards in your workplace and then select two (2) hazards from each of the five different categories e.g. physical, chemical, biological, physiological, ergonomic hazards (Step 1: Find It) Hazard analysis matrix – level of risk. Likelihood (L) X Consequence (C) to assessing existing risk of the above hazards identified in you simulated workplace Hotel. (Step 2: Assess it) Identify and describe the hierarchy of controls to reduce the risk, risk score after corrective action (hierarchies of control) actions are in place. (Step 3: Fix it) Filled out you action plan when implementation strategies, what action will be done to control the risk, whom will do it, the due date and date completed. (Step 4: Review it) Conclusion: Recommend staff training in a WHS consultation meeting, why is this needed?

Risk Analysis matrix – Level of risk

Identified Hazards	Risk Assessment	Risk Score	Risk Level	Action
Likelihood (L)	Consequence (C)	L x C
The doughnut mixer is not guarded and the mixing bowl could be accessed when the machine was operating	Frequent use 3	Major 3	3×3=9	Catastrophic	Indicates unacceptable level of risk. Controls must be immediately implemented or the risk eliminated (i.e. cease activity) Substitution or Engineering

Definitions
Likelihood L	Score	Consequence C	Score	Risk Score (L x C)	Hierarchy of Risk Controls
Rare (Monthly)	1	Minor – e.g. small cut, first aid treatment only	1	Elimination is a permanent solution and should be attempted in the first instance.
Occasionally (Weekly)	2	Moderate – e.g. sprained ankle, one day off required	2	Substitution involves replacing the hazard or environmental aspect by one of lower risk.
Frequent (Daily)	3	Major – e.g. loss of limb or bodily function	3	Engineering controls involve physical barriers or structural changes to the environment or process.
Constant (Hourly)	4	Catastrophic – e.g. fatality	4	Administrative controls reduce hazard by altering procedures and providing instructions.
Personal protective equipment last resort or temporary control.

Using this LEGEND
• Minor/no risk (risk score 1-2) – is acceptable. No further action on risk control measures is necessary
• Moderate risk (risk score 3-4) – indicates conditional acceptability. Further risk control measures should be considered and existing controls monitored
• Major risk (risk score 5-6) – indicates unacceptable level of risk. Controls and measures must be developed and implemented in the short to medium term
• Catastrophic risk (risk score 7-16) – indicates unacceptable level of risk. Controls must be immediately implemented or the risk eliminated (i.e. cease activity)
