Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Plan and prepare for risk management
|
1.1 Access, interpret and apply risk management documentation and ensure the work activity is compliant
1.2 Inspect and analyse work area conditions regularly and systematically to identify potential hazards
1.3 Access, interpret and apply existing proceduresto control identified hazards
1.4 Identify hazards not controlled by existing procedures
1.5 Recognise the type and scope of unresolved hazards and their likely impact
|
2 Assess and identify unacceptable risk
|
2.1 Consider and determine the likelihood of an event
2.2 Evaluate and determine the consequence of the event
2.3 Consider and determine the risk level (likelihood and consequence combined)
2.4 Identify or source the criteria for determining the acceptability/unacceptability of the risk
2.5 Evaluate the risk and identify ‘unacceptable risk’ status
|
3 Review risk management documentation
|
3.1 Monitor and review working instructions
3.2 Seek authority and approval to amend in writing the working instructions
3.3 Seek authority and approval to action amendments to the working instructions
|
4 Identify and recommend controls
|
4.1 Identify the range of controls which may eliminate or minimise the risk
4.2 Conduct a detailed analysis of feasible options including the identification of resource requirements
4.3 Select the most appropriate control for dealing with the situation
|
5 Contribute to the implementation of controls
|
5.1 Write up the risk management plans selected control in detail, including resource requirements
5.2 Gain authorisation for selected control

Evidence is required to be collected that demonstrates a candidate’s competency in this unit. Evidence must be relevant to the roles within this sector’s work operations and satisfy all of the requirements of the performance criteria of this unit and include evidence that the candidate:
- obtain and applies relevant documentation, policies and procedures
- demonstrates consistent, timely conducting of local risk controls that safely, effectively and efficiently meet all of the required outcomes on a minimum of three (3) separate occasions including:
- identifying or sourcing criteria to determine unacceptable risk
- identifying and recognising type and scope of hazards and their impact
- assessing and determining the consequence, likelihood and level of potential risk
- identifying unacceptable risk using the acceptability/unacceptability criteria
- assessing options for appropriate control and implementing most appropriate
- identifying and obtaining required resources
- preparing and maintaining written records and report requirements
Knowledge Evidence
The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of apply the risk management process through:
- work instructions and processes
- effective communication skills, including questioning and active listening skills with supervisors and other employees
- writing reports to communicate procedural activity, breach or inadequacies to procedure and review process
- planning and organising skills to the risk management processes
Assessment Conditions
- An assessor of this unit must satisfy the requirements of the NVR/AQTF or their successors; and Industry regulations for certification and licensing; and,
- this unit is best assessed in the context of this sector’s work environment;
- where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment may occur in a simulated 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; and,
- this unit must be assessed using Resources and Infrastructure Industry sector specific policies, procedures, processes and operational manuals; and,
- assessor requirements differ between sectors as follows:
- when assessing this unit in the context of the Drilling sector:
- an assessor must demonstrate the performance evidence, and knowledge evidence as outlined in this Unit of Competency, and through five (5) years of work in the Industry sector; or,
- where a co-assessment or partnership arrangement exists between a qualified assessor and an Industry technical expert, the Industry technical expert can hold the unit being assessed, and/or demonstrate equivalency of skills and knowledge at the unit level. An Industry technical expert must also demonstrate a minimum of three (3) years of continuous work in the Industry sector, with the preceding one (1) year in the unit they are co-assessing; or,
- when assessing this unit in the context of the Metalliferous Mining sector:
- an assessor must demonstrate the skills and knowledge of this unit through five (5) years of current and continuous work with the Industry sector and must hold the TAE Assessor Skill Set or equivalent; or,
- when assessing this unit in the context of the Coal Mining sector:
- an assessor must demonstrate the skills and knowledge of this unit through twelve (12) month work experience in an Industry relevant to the skills being assessed within the last three (3) years; and,
- where the assessor does not have current experience a co-assessment or partnership arrangement needs to exist between the qualified assessor and an Industry technical expert/ subject matter expert. The Industry technical expert/subject matter expert must demonstrate competency in the unit being assessed, and be currently working in the sector with a minimum of twelve (12) months’ work experience within the last three (3) years; or,
- when assessing this unit in the context of the Extractive sector
- an assessor must demonstrate the skills and knowledge of this unit through five (5) years’ work experience in the Industry sector; and,
- where the assessor does not have current experience a co-assessment or partnership arrangement needs to exist between the qualified assessor and an Industry technical expert/ subject matter expert. The Industry technical expert/subject matter expert must hold the unit being assessed and be currently working in the sector with a minimum of two (2) years’ of current work experience; or,
- when assessing this unit in the context of the Civil Construction sector
- an assessor must demonstrate the skills and knowledge of this unit through five (5) years’ work experience in the Industry sector; and,
