Required Resources and Tools
The following resources and tools are required to complete this assessment:
a) Internet access
b) Word processing software
c) Project Portfolio template
d) Simulation Pack
Activities
Complete the following activities:
1. Carefully read the following:
This assessment task requires you to apply safe design principles to control WHS risks that may occur during the life cycle of a product. This will involve conducting research and analysis and working through all of the activities in your Portfolio, as well as preparing and delivering a training/information session.
You will complete this project for two different products of your choice. Review the Simulation Pack for instructions about choosing these products and assumptions you are to make.
You will be collecting evidence for this unit in a Project Portfolio. The steps you need to take are outlined below. Before you begin, complete page 4 of your Project Portfolio.
2. Complete Portfolio activities.
In this first assessment task you are to conduct research and analysis and complete each section of your Portfolio as relevant to the two products you have chosen. Some of the questions in your Portfolio will be relevant to both products you have chosen, for example, requirements to manage WHS risk through a product's life cycle and others will direct you to provide answers specific to each of the products you have chosen.
Each section of your Portfolio focuses on different aspects of applying safe design principles to control WHS risks including:
• Advising on WHS principles that support safe design.
• Advising on a systematic approach to WHS risk management for safe design, including advising on procurement systems so as to minimise WHS hazards and their associated risks.
• Advising on consultation processes that should be used throughout a product's life cycle to ensure safe design.
Complete Sections 1, 2 and 3 of your Portfolio.
3. Training/advice session preparation and delivery.
This next assessment requires to you prepare and deliver a training/advice session.
You are to develop a presentation based on all of the work you have completed for your Portfolio and then present it to senior management (your assessor and small groups of students). Your presentation will be approximately 15 minutes and your assessor will advise you of the date and time for the presentation, as well as the students who will attend your presentation.
You may develop the presentation in a format of your choice ensuring that the language, content and tone of your presentation is suitable for your audience (i.e., decision makers with no knowledge of safe design principles).
After the presentation you will also be required to confirm your audience's understanding of the information and advice you have presented, as well as seek their advice on any information they believe is relevant to facilitate the application of safe design principles to control WHS risks. With this in mind, develop at least five questions that you can ask your audience. Remember too that you are taking a leadership role in providing the session and you need to ensure that the group effectively interacts with each other so consider strategies you will use.
With all of the above develop your presentation and then deliver it to your assigned group.
During your presentation, you will be required to use oral communication skills including:
• speaking clearly and concisely, using language that your audience can understand.
At the end of your presentation, ask your questions and use active listening skills to confirm that you have correctly understood your audience's response.
This can either be viewed in person by your assessor or you may like to video record the session for your assessor to watch later. Your assessor can provide you with more details at this step. Make sure you follow the instructions above and meet the timeframes allocated.
4. Submit your completed Project Portfolio.
Make sure you have completed all sections of your Project Portfolio, answered all questions, provided enough detail as indicated and proofread for spelling and grammar as necessary.
Submit to your assessor for marking.
