Reasonable Adjustment
Reasonable adjustment is available to all students for assessments and must be requested in writing,
using the Reasonable Adjustment form – this includes extensions which must be requested 1 week
prior to the assessment task due date. Reasonable Adjustment forms are available from your trainer.
On receipt of your completed Reasonable Adjustment form, your trainer/assessor will consider
your request and advise whether it is approved and what action will be taken.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
RPL is a formal process that recognises skills developed through previous training, work or life
experience, which match a unit of competency in a training course. If you believe you already have
the skills covered in this unit of competency, discuss this with your trainer, who will provide you with
instructions for applying for RPL.
National Recognition / Credit Transfer
Qualifications or statements of attainment issued by other Registered Training Organisations are
recognised by the College. Where this unit of competency is equivalent to a unit of competency
previously completed with another provider, credit transfer will be offered and the course length
adjusted accordingly. It is the responsibility of the student to provide the relevant evidence of
qualifications or statements of attainment issued by other Registered Training Organisations, which
will be verified by the College prior to credit transfer being applied.
Support Services
Your trainer/assessor is able to clarify any aspect of an assessment task prior to it being
administered. This may include clarifying: knowledge and skills covered during the training
program; the meaning of written assessment questions; performance standards for practical
assessments; and marking criteria.

Once the assessment process has commenced however, the assessor is not able to provide any
intervention or guidance, unless it is to prevent an unsafe act from being performed.
Please ask for help when you need it, as your trainer/assessor may not be aware that you have not
understood aspects of the training program, or are not feeling confident enough to engage in
assessment activities.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is using the words or ideas of others and presenting them as your own. Plagiarism is a type
of intellectual theft. It can take many forms, from deliberate cheating to accidentally copying from a
source without acknowledgement. In your assessments you must come up with your own ideas,
however, at times you may need to make reference to work that has been conducted by others.
Important points to be aware of:
 Know what plagiarism is – refer to http://www.plagiarism.org/ for more information
 Reference your work / acknowledge all of your sources
“All of the following are considered plagiarism:
 turning in someone else's work as your own
 copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit
 failing to put a quotation in quotation marks
 giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation
 changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit
 copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work,
whether you give credit or not...”

Case study 1
(From: www.abc.net.au/news/2013-06-25/smallgoods-maker-conroys-fined-over-
workers-crushed- arm/4777872)
Adelaide smallgoods maker Conroy's has been fined $90,000 by the Industrial Court after a
worker's wrist and arm were crushed in a machine.
The worker was changing a plastic roll in September 2011 when the accident happened, spent a
fortnight in hospital and has not returned to work since.
SafeWork SA said Conroy's failed to ensure the employee's safety because the machine was not
fitted with appropriate safety guards.
It said it was Conroy's third industrial offence and the second involving the same machine.
1. Identify at least four different areas of safety training you believe the organisation in question should
have provided to the worker.
a) Choose two of the training areas you identified above:
1. Training in the workplace
2. Training the workers apart from the workplace.
b) Identify ways in which the training could be provided
1. By gathering the workers at the workplace.
2. By announcing in the media regarding the training sessions, and
3. By hiring an expert team for the training.
c) For one training area identify a commercially available course, identify a training provider and the

associated cost.
Diploma in Workplace Safety and Health is the course and the training provider is the expert team with a
reasonable cost of training affordable to the workers.
2. For the second training area identify internal coaching or workplace learning opportunities.
Internal coaching can be pr4ovided at the extra time from the working time in the workplace.
3. What conclusions can be drawn in relation to the inadequacies of the existing risk control measures
within the organisation? You are required to identify at least four.
 Use of expired products
 Unavailability of the safety measures
 Inconvenient Machinery
 Untrained workforce
4. What procedures do you believe the organisation should have implemented to control the risks that
led to the incident? You are required to identify at least three. Use the hierarchy of controls as a basis
for your response.
The organisation would have used best quality machineries and have followed the control measures as
mentioned in the hierarchy of controls.
5. What incident and accident reporting functionality should have been in place within the
organisation? Could analysis of the aggregate data from these reports potentially have prevented this
injury?
There would have been the availability of the alarming when the situation occurred of the danger in the
working area so that the damage from that would have been reduced and workers lives would have been

saved.
6. Imagine you were a production worker at Conroy’s and were the only witness to this incident. Using
an incident report form from your workplace, complete an incident report and hand this in to your
assessor
In this incident, if there were the availability of efficient technology in the workplace , the situation would
have been handled.

Broken Hill mining company Perilya has been fined over an accident five years ago that left a miner in a
wheelchair.
The Industrial Court of NSW has ruled that Perilya should pay $260,000 over the accident that occurred in 2008.
Rod Flight, then 50, was left a quadriplegic after the front-end loader he was operating at Perilya's Southern
Operations mine overturned, trapping him under it.
The court found that Perilya's failure to properly maintain the vehicle meant its braking capacity was reduced and a
warning light and alarm failed to work.
The company also failed to make sure staff did the right safety paperwork.
Perilya pleaded guilty to failing to ensure the safety of its employees under the Occupational Health and Safety
Act.
Mr Flight now lives in Adelaide and is paralysed from the neck down.
1. Identify at least four different areas of safety training you believe the organisation in
question should have provided to the worker.
 Tackling the situation when alarm fails to work
 Safety measured should be taught
 Reduce the hustle and bustle at the time of danger.
 Self-protection should be taught to the workers.

2. Choose two of the training areas you identified above:
a) Identify ways in which the training could be provided
 It can be practically provided during the work time.
 Can be provided having certain cources.
b) For one training area identify a commercially available course, identify a training
provider and the associated cost
Course of WHS with an efficient team at a cost affordable to all the workers.
c) For the second training area identify internal coaching or workplace learning opportunities.
Internal coaching can be provided in the workplace along with the safety measures training.
3. What conclusions can be drawn in relation to the inadequacies of the existing risk control
measures within the organisation? You are required to identify at least four.
 Lack of effective planning
 Improper management
 Worse equipment’s
 Inefficient workforce

4. What procedures do you believe the organisation should have implemented to control the
risks that led to the incident? You are required to identify at least three. Use the hierarchy
of controls as a basis for your response.
 Use of proper safety techniques.
 Well-trained workforce.
 Use of good equipment’s.
5. What incident and accident reporting functionality should have been in place within
