Assessment Criteria for BSBWHS401: Implement and Monitor WHS Programs

This document serves as an assessment guide for the BSBWHS401 unit, focusing on the implementation and monitoring of Work Health and Safety (WHS) policies, procedures, and programs to meet legislative requirements. It outlines the elements of competency, including providing information to the work team, implementing and monitoring participation arrangements, organizational procedures for training, identifying hazards, and maintaining WHS performance. The document details foundation skills like reading, writing, and communication, along with knowledge evidence encompassing legal responsibilities, WHS Acts, organizational policies, and the hierarchy of control. Assessment conditions, including the use of a safe environment, workplace equipment, and interaction with others, are also specified. The assessment tools include learner workbook activities, observations, major activities, skills and knowledge activities, third-party checklists, case studies, and learner guides. The document emphasizes the importance of demonstrations, observations, and the demonstration of skills such as reading, writing, oral communication, numeracy, and interaction with others. It concludes with an observation/demonstration checklist that provides a framework for assessing the learner's competency in various WHS-related tasks.

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
