Foundation Skills
This section describes those language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills that are essential to performance but not explicit in the performance criteria.
SKILL & DESCRIPTION 
Writing
Produces and completes written documents required for workplace procedures
Numeracy
Calculates resource requirements, including use of basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
 Self-management

Performance Evidence
The candidate must demonstrate the ability to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including evidence of the ability to:
  • conduct local risk controls on at least two occasions, including:
    • identifying unacceptable risk using the acceptability/unacceptability criteria
    • working with others to determine risk controls
    • assessing and determining the consequences and likelihood of potential risk
    • controlling risk by selecting and implementing the most appropriate controls
    • completing reports and records about the risk assessment and treatment implementation.
During the above, the candidate must:
  • locate and apply relevant documentation, policies and procedures and confirm that the work activity is compliant
  • implement the requirements, procedures and techniques for conducting local risk control
  • work with others to conduct of local risk control
  • communicate with others to receive and clarify work instructions and to determine coordination requirements prior to commencing and during work activities.
Knowledge Evidence
The candidate must be able to demonstrate knowledge to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including knowledge of:
  • key policies, procedures and documentation required to conduct local risk control, including those related to:
    • work health and safety procedures
    • emergency procedures
    • organisational risk management policy and procedure requirements
    • conducting worksite risk management procedures
    • conducting and maintaining worksite communication, reporting and recording procedures
  • procedures and criteria for identifying and assessing hazards, risks, acceptability of risks and controls
  • risk control options, including:
    • hazards elimination
    • implementation of the hierarchy of controls
  • procedures for writing worksite records and reports, including:
    • hazard reporting reports
    • incident reports
    • near miss reports.
Assessment Conditions
Mandatory conditions for assessment of this unit are stipulated below. The assessment must:
  • include access to:
    • personal and protective equipment
    • equipment required to conduct local risk control
    • relevant documentation
  • be conducted in a safe environment; and,
  • be assessed in the context of this sector's work environment; and,
  • be assessed in compliance with relevant legislation/regulation and using policies, procedures and processes directly related to the industry sector for which it is being assessed; and,
  • confirm consistent performance can be applied in a range of relevant workplace circumstances.
Where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment may occur in a simulated work environment* provided it is realistic and sufficiently rigorous to cover all aspects of this sector’s workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
