Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate. Practical assessment must occur in a workplace, or realistic simulated workplace, under the normal range of workplace conditions. Simulations and scenarios may be used where situations cannot be provided in the workplace or may occur only rarely, in particular for situations relating to emergency procedures and adverse weather conditions where assessment would be unsafe, impractical or may lead to environmental damage. Resources for assessment must include access to: applicable documentation, such as legislation, regulations, codes of practice, workplace procedures and operational manuals tools, equipment, machinery, materials and relevant personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry.
