On-Road Assessment Route Development & Risk Assessment Task

This assignment requires trainee instructors to develop an on-road assessment route suitable for a specific class of driver training (e.g., C, LR, MR, HR, HC), incorporating two maneuvers and a variety of driving situations across different speed zones. The route should include intersections, lane driving scenarios, and varying traffic densities, aligning with Q-Safe standards. The assignment also involves a risk management component, where potential hazardous situations during maneuvers are identified and assessed using a risk evaluation matrix, considering the likelihood and consequences of accidents. The task includes planning the route from Port Augusta to Port Pirie, detailing specific roads and turns, and addressing safety considerations for both the assessor and the learner. The student has to determine if the road situation selected is safe for a learner to conduct the maneuver. The assessment emphasizes the importance of hazard identification, risk control, and contingency measures in ensuring safe and effective learner driver training.

ATTENTION TRAINEE INSTRUCTORS: THERE A TWO PARTS TO THIS ASSESSMENT
PART 1
Your task is to develop an on road assessment relevant to a class of training you will deliver (eg, C,
LR, MR, HR, HC). You are required to include two manoeouvres.
For Example:
Heavy Combination: uncouple/recouple, straight line reverse
C class: Reverse Park, Hill Start
The on road assessment route should include (as much as possible) a range of situations (see
guiding list below….try to get at least 80% of them in your circuit if possible) as well as a variety of
speed zones eg 50, 60, 70, 80 etc.
Intersections
You only need to list ONE street/road/situation for each specific situation in the assessment task,
but aim to meet the following requirements to be in line with what a Driving Examiner would do
when constructing a test circuit for TMR.
Format of Circuit
You can submit the assessment circuit as listed street names with left and right turns etc, or use a
map (eg google map). If it’s possible to cover the assessment route on your practical course we will
do so with you running it as assessor and your trainer/assessor role playing a learner. You will
record any errors the trainer/assessor makes on the assessment on a Q-Safe Test form.
Test time
Assignment 17 - Develop an On Road Assessment Route v1.0 Page 2 of 9

The duration of the test must be considered when designing a test route.
The test times for the different licence classes are:
Unless the test is terminated for any reason, the minimum drive time of 25 minutes applies to
classes C, RE, R and LR tests. In urban centres, applicants should expect an on-road assessment
period of around 30 minutes.
Uncontrollable and unpredictable events such as road works and traffic accidents may affect the
duration of the test.
Start/Finish Location
If possible, start and end the assessment at your nearest Transport Main Roads – Customer Service
Centre. But if that doesn’t suit your circumstances, please select and alternative location (eg depot)
that suits you.

TIPS FOR DESIGNING AN ON ROAD ASSESSMENT DRIVE:
Assessment Route Difficulty
The following points in relation to assessment route difficulty must be considered:
 When designing assessment routes, avoid including driving situations that are known to be
particularly problematic or hazardous.
 When selecting assessment routes, situations where applicants are directed into an area
with different traffic restrictions should be avoided (for example, altered speed limit) which
are not signed at that particular point.
 Try and avoid exposing applicants to the more difficult specific driving situations at the
beginning of the test so that the applicant has time to settle into the assessment. For
example, it would be preferable not to direct the applicant onto a freeway at the beginning
of the test.
Safety on Assessment Route
It is essential that the design of all assessment routes takes into consideration the safety of the
assessor, the applicant and other road users.
Remember to apply a Risk Management approach. (see FAQ for more on Risk Management)

PART 2: RISK MANAGEMENT & YOUR TWO CHOSEN MANOEUVRES
Being able to identify hazards is crucial in ensuring tasks are carried out safely. Your past experience in the
workplace may help you to identify some hazards, but remember to also use the skills and knowledge of
those around you to help.
Identifying hazards and controlling risk must be done continuously as new work processes, tasks, equipment
and workers come into the workplace.
Once hazards have been identified, we must assess the level of risk. That is, we must determine how likely it
is that someone could be harmed by the hazards and how serious the injury or illness could be.
First, consider an accident occurring, the:
 Consequence (or seriousness)
o How serious would the injury or illness be?
o How many people are at risk?
 Likelihood
o Has it happened before?
o How often might it happen?
o When is it most likely to happen?
When estimating consequence and likelihood, also consider what risk controls are already in place.
For example, personal protective equipment may already be used, or guarding may be in place.
Also think about the way different hazards linked to an activity may interact to affect the consequence or
likelihood of an accident occurring.
Some ways to identify hazards and control risks:
1. Talk with workers (including contractors) who are or will be performing any tasks to identify all
potential hazards and the best ways to eliminate or reduce risk.
2. Make sure you are aware of any high risk activities, work with new machinery or new work
processes before they happen.
3. Understand the hazards associated with tasks you supervise and have risk controls in place before
work starts. This could mean preventing work from being done while a safety issue is being
resolved.
4. Take action to resolve health and safety issues as soon as possible. This includes escalating the issue
to more senior management if necessary. Once agreement is reached on how to fix a problem,
implement it as soon as possible.

A RISK MANAGEMENT MATRIX is one way of combining consequence and likelihood to give risk level.
The trainee instructor is required to use the tables below to rate the risk of the location of each manoeuvre
in the practical on road assessment. The trainee must determine if the road situation selected is safe for a
learner to conduct the manoeuvre. The trainee must use the risk rating tool below.
Table 1 - Likelihood Assessment Table
Q: What is the LIKELIHOOD of a crash occurring in this location during a manoeuvre?
Almost Certain Having almost no doubt, that something is going to happen
More than 75% chance of occurring
Likely
Something is probably going to happen; almost certainly; as far as one knows or
can tell
Will probably occur in most circumstances; 50-75% chance of occurring
Possible Something may happen, but it is not certain or probable
Might occur at some time; 25 – 50% chance of occurring
Unlikely Could occur at some time; less than 25% chance of occurring
Rare (of an event, situation, or condition); something that does not occur very often
May only occur in exceptional circumstances
Table 2 - Consequence Assessment Table
Q: What would the CONSEQUENCES for the trainer, learner, the vehicle and other road users be if a
crash occurred in this location during a manoeuvre?
Extreme
Involving or causing sudden great damage or suffering.
Fatality or permanent disabling injury.
Significant loss of assets. (car written off)
Major
Serious personal injury resulting in incapacity or hospitalisation.
Significant loss of assets. (car written off)
Moderate
Moderate injury - requiring medical attention.
Major damage to assets. (car significant damage to car but repairable)
Minor
Lesser in importance, seriousness, or significance.
First aid treatment required.
Minor damage to assets. (damage to car – off the road for a period)
Insignificant
Minor consideration required
Little or no impact or a very minor injury. (eg scraping rims)
