Any observations and practical assessments must be recorded in the observation checklist.
All practical tasks should be demonstrated during the length of the course. As the instructor,
you must maintain a record demonstrating the date of the practical activities and any
comments relevant to the performance of each student. Where a student is not able to
demonstrate competence in a practical observation activity, further questioning should be put
in its place.
As the instructor, you could be assessing the student’s literacy, numeracy and language skills,
as well as the content and context of his/her answers.

In some cases, you will have to adjust and amend the assessment tools, using different and
varied methods (such as oral assessment), to allow students to be assessed according to their
needs and abilities.
Assessment Tool Definitions
Assessment Tool How is it used? What is it?
Learner Workbook Activities
(Entire completion is required)
Each student should be given a Learner
Workbook which will hold several
activities, both formative and summative,
that all need to be completed in conjunction
with the appropriate sessions. The
PowerPoint, Learner Guide and instructor
should provide further information to help
with the activities.
Observation/Demonstration
(To be completed for each numbered point as
stated on the checklist)
An observation should be completed for
each of the students by the instructor. If the
tasks aren’t everyday actions, a simulated
environment is acceptable, or a
demonstration can be set up. An
observation checklist can be found at the
end of this document.
Major Activity
(Entire completion is required)
A Major Activity is a summative
assessment and can be found in the Learner
Workbook, after all the activities are
completed. This is an extended piece of
summative assessment which should take
anywhere between 1-2 hours and every
student should complete this work. It is a
requirement for each unit to check
knowledge and understanding.
Skills and Knowledge Activity
(Entire completion is required)
A Skills and Knowledge Activity is a
summative assessment and is found before
the Major Activity in the Learner
Workbook. This should take between 1-2
hours and every student should complete
this work. It is a requirement for each unit
to check knowledge and understanding of
the foundation skills and knowledge
evidence.
Third Party
(To be completed for each numbered point as
stated on the checklist)
A Third-Party checklist is very similar to an
Observation Checklist in its format, but it
can be completed by someone who works
with the learner and has witnessed them
completing tasks which coincide with the
elements of the unit. The checklist can be

found at the end of this document.
Case Study
(Entire completion is required)
Not all units will have Case Studies but
those that do will be clearly stated within
the PowerPoint and the Learner Workbook.
It will appear as any other activity, but it
will be named ‘Case Study’ and will
provide an example of a possible real-life
situation for the learner to read, interpret
and then answer questions on.
Learner Guide
(To be used as an informational guide)
The Learner Guide links with the Learner
Workbook as it provides the information
given during sessions and more. It can help
students to further their knowledge and to
also complete the activities.
Evidence Document
(Not a necessity for completion of unit but
can be used as an aid or to collect further
evidence)
The Evidence Document lists all the
Elements and Performance Criteria with an
area for written reports etc, to add evidence
to the student’s portfolio. It can be used for
any of the performance criteria, especially
those which may not have been covered by
any other assessment tool. The student can
circle several the criteria that they may feel
they need further evidence of or it can be
used as a guide for completing further
Observations and Third-Party reports.

Observation/Demonstration
Throughout this unit, the learner will be expected to show their competency of the elements
through observations or demonstrations. The observations and demonstrations will be
completed as well as the formative and summative assessments found in the Learner
Workbook. An explanation of demonstrations and observations:
Demonstration is off-the-job
A demonstration will require:
 Performing a skill or task that is asked of you
 Undertaking a simulation exercise
Observation is on-the-job
The observation will usually require:
 Performing a work-based skill or task
 Interaction with colleagues and/or customers
The observation/demonstration will take place either in the workplace or the
training environment, depending on the task to be undertaken and whether it
is an observation or demonstration. Each task must be observed. You will
need to ensure you provide the learner with the correct equipment and/or
materials to complete the task. You will also need to inform the learner of the
time they have to complete the task; this will once again vary, depending on
the task.
Learner should be able to demonstrate they can:
1. Provide information to the work team about WHS policies and procedures
2. Implement and monitor participation arrangements for managing WHS
3. Implement and monitor organisational procedures for providing WHS training
4. Implement and monitor organisational procedures and legal requirements for
identifying hazards and assessing and controlling risks
5. Implement and monitor organisational procedures for maintaining WHS
Learners should also demonstrate the following skills:
 Reading
 Writing
 Oral communication
 Numeracy
 Navigate the world of work

 Interact with others
 Get the work done
