Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge section and the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide. |
1. Establish the context of the risk analysis. |
1.1. Access the organisation's equipment maintenance procedures and history for the activity and location as required. 1.2. Obtain applicable technical documentation. 1.3. Access and clarify risk -evaluation criteria , as determined by the organisation's risk-management policy and plan. |
2. Identify risks associated with an activity. |

Consider and document areas of impact on the organisation. 2.3. Consider and document possible causes of risk and hazards according to organisational policies and procedures. |
3. Conduct risk analysis of an activity. |
3.1. Determine existing organisational controls for each risk according to occupational health and safety legislation . 3.2. Assess the likelihood of any given risk turning into an accident, injury or loss. 3.3. Assess the consequences of particular incidents in order to determine the degree of emphasis to be placed on the risk. 3.4. Analyse the likelihood and consequences of particular risks and classification of risk according to organisational procedures. |
4. Undertake risk assessment of an activity. |
4.1. Compare the level of risk established during the analysis process with previously established risk-evaluation criteria according to organisational procedures. 4.2. Rank or prioritise risks for further action, taking account of the wider context of the risk. 4.3. Consider the objectives of the organisation and the extent of opportunity which could result from taking the risk. 4.4. Accept risks that fall into the low or acceptable categories without further treatment, and monitor and periodically review to ensure they remain acceptable. |

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit |
Evidence of the following is essential:
Due to issues such as differences in risk associated with different client groups, different equipment, different locations and different environmental conditions, this unit of competency must be assessed through the analysis of risk associated with more than one activity (or one activity with different client groups and or in different locations) in order to ensure consistency of performance over the range statement and contexts applicable to risk analysis of activities. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment |
Assessment must ensure development and implementation of a risk-treatment plan for specific activities relevant to the candidate's current or intended work environment to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance. Assessment must also ensure access to:
|
Method of assessment |
