Assessment Task 2 - Workplace Practical/Simulation Tasks

Objective of the task The purpose of this Workplace Practical/Simulation Task is to assess your ability to carry out OHS requirements through safe work practices on the construction site.

Your task It is 6.45 am as you walk out of the toolbox meeting. This is your first day on the new site.

Part 1: Pre-start safety check

You make your way to your work area and spend 5 minutes completing a pre-start safety checklist on the work area.

Part 1 Complete the following:
• Submit Take 5 Pre-start safety checklist
• Workplace Practical/Simulation Task 2.1 Observation - OHS inspection Part 2: Tools and equipment
You then move on to inspecting the work tools using the machinery and equipment checklist. On the work bench you locate a drop saw with its guard missing. You tag- out the drop saw and submit a hazard report to your supervisor.

Part 2 Complete the following:
• Machinery and equipment checklist
• Hazard report

Simulation Task 2.2 - Simulated fire

Objective of the task The purpose of this Workplace Practical/Simulation Task is to assess your ability to select and use firefighting equipment to extinguish a fire and report the incident.

Your task It's been a sweltering day on a domestic construction site. The trades have been
busy cutting timber and putting up the wall frames.

From the corner of your eye you notice smoke coming from the drop saw. You rush over and realise the saw has caught fire. Thinking quickly, you disconnect the power and grab the fire extinguisher.

Part 1: Extinguish the fire

Your Assessor will set up the scenario in the simulated workplace.

Using the correct type of fire extinguisher for the class of fire, you must extinguish the fire.

Follow the correct steps for using a fire extinguisher:
• Pull the pin
• Aim the extinguisher at the base of the flames
• Squeeze the trigger while holding the extinguisher upright
• Sweep the extinguisher or nozzle from side to side covering the base of the fire
• Observe the fire after initial extinguishment as it may reignite

Part 1 Complete the following:
• Workplace Practical/Simulation Task 2.2 Observation - Simulated fire

Part 2: Isolate the area

Isolate the hazard and secure the area with signage and bollards. Then report the incident to your supervisor and complete an incident report. Luckily no one was injured as a result of the incident.

Part 2 Complete the following:
• Incident report
• Workplace Practical/Simulation Task 2.2 Observation - Simulated fire

Simulation Task 2.3 - Emergency evacuation

Objective of the task The purpose of this Workplace Practical/Simulation Task is to assess your ability to evacuate a site through simulated response to an emergency, complying with workplace procedures.

Your task You finish the lunch break and jump back on the work tools, when the emergency alarm sounds.

It's a large construction site so you're not sure what the emergency is, although you can smell something that's out of the ordinary.

Part 1: Evacuate the site

Follow the site safety procedures and evacuate the site to the assembly area.
• On hearing an evacuation alarm immediately cease all activity
• Assist any person in immediate danger, but only if safe to do so
• If practical, and only if safe to do so, secure any activity or process that may become hazardous or suffer damage if left unattended as a consequence of evacuation
• Act in accordance with directions given by emergency control personnel and evacuate the site immediately.
• Move calmly to the nominated evacuation assembly area and do not leave the
evacuation assembly area until the ‘all clear' has been given

Part 1 Complete the following:
• Workplace Practical/Simulation Task 2.3 Observation - Emergency evacuation

Simulation Task 2.3 Observation - Emergency evacuation
