Introduction

In preparation for your assessment, the trainer/assessor will advise you of the best approach in readiness for your assessment.

RIIWHS201D - Work safely and follow WHS policies and procedures

You are now required to show your Assessor that you are competent in the tasks that you have learned. This guide will give you all the information that you will require in order to successfully complete your assessments.

The following pages must be completed, signed and returned to the trainer/assessor.

If you have any queries regarding your assessment, you should contact the trainer/assessor for guidance.

Completing the assessment

All sections of the assessment must be completed with an ink pen.

Pre–assessment: Make sure you understand the assessment and any appeal processes. Ask the assessor to explain or clarify any information you do not understand. Both you and the assessor must sign the Pre-assessment form prior to commencing the assessment.

Performance will often need to be demonstrated over a period of time and/or in different locations. More than one assessment of a block of tasks may be necessary. Your assessor may copy any relevant part of a blank assessment tool for re-use, then date it and attach it to the original once completed.

Where appropriate, the assessor may assess your performance across different conditions e.g. wet and dry weather; day and night; different equipment attachments; different materials, etc.

Your assessor may provide suitable breaks if needed in the assessment activity between blocks of tasks.

Outcomes from your theory and other supporting evidence assessments will be reflected in the final assessment summary.

On completing the overall assessment the “Assessment Summary” sheet must be completed by both the candidate and the assessor.

The assessor will communicate any feedback comments to you if required.

If the Not Satisfactory box is ticked, the assessor will inform you and possibly your supervisor to discuss further training needs to be given, to bring you up to a satisfactory level.

Prior to commencement, you have the right to appeal under your organisation’s Fair Treatment policy (or equivalent).
