Section 1: General Instructions to Student

Please read all the information before you proceed to complete the assessment tasks. If
you do not understand any part of these instructions, please ask your trainer/assessor.

Objective of Assessment

The primary objective of assessment is to support and encourage your learning. Assessment
results give the assessor an indication of how well you have learnt in class and or areas you may
need extra support with. The assessments are intended to be equitable, fair and flexible. All the
information, skills and knowledge being assessed by the assessments have been based on theory,
practical and skills delivered by your trainer/assessor during classes, and or during self-directed
study and meet the requirements of the unit of competency.

Assessment Feedback and Support throughout the Assessment Process

Students are encouraged to reflect on key observations and issues encountered during their
studies to encourage learning. Knowing what you understand or have mastered and identifying
where you need to improve the critical skills for successful learning.

Your assessor will give you feedback throughout the duration of the unit you are studying and after
assessment results. The feedback given to you will always be to support your achievements and
to monitor your progress throughout your studies.

Reasonable Adjustment or Special Needs

In the situation where you or your assessor feel that extra support needs to be given, your
assessor will organise a time to meet with you and discuss the options available to you. Your
assessors aim is to ensure the successful completion of your course with the least amount of
difficulty.

Reasonable adjustment will be provided for students with a disability or learning difficulty
according to the nature of the disability or difficulty. Reasonable adjustments are made to ensure
that the student is not presented with artificial barriers to demonstrating achievement in the
program of study. Reasonable adjustments may include the use of adaptive technology,
educational support and alternative methods of assessment such as oral assessment.

In assessing the competence of individuals, assessors must provide for reasonable adjustments to
ensure the assessment principles of fairness and flexibility are addressed. However, assessors
must be confident that reasonable adjustments do not compromise the outcomes of the unit and
the integrity of the qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued as certification of
achievement.

Assessment 3 – Hazard & Risk Assessment

This information is to be handed to each student to outline the assessment requirements

You have been employed as a Work Health and Safety Officer. Your first job is to carry out a full
inspection
/risk assessment of the campus.

Part 1

This involves a ‘WHS - treasure hunt’

Using the floor plan supplied you will need to draw on the map the location of the following.
Make sure you label the classroom numbers/reception/student lounge etc. to clearly identify the location.

1. Where are the fire extinguishers?

2. Where are the glass boxes to break to set off the fire alarms?
3. Where are the emergency exits located?
4. Where is the emergency evacuation procedure map? Where would you need to
assemble in the event of an emergency? (This one may be tricky to locate – so look
carefully)
5. Where is the fire hydrant?
6. Where is the first aid kit? (this may also be tricky)

Part 2

You now need to a Hazard and Risk analysis.

Your trainer will choose an area where you will conduct this
inspection. You may use the checklist to assist you.
You will be looking for any potential dangers e.g. electrical issues, trip hazards, blocked
emergency exits. Important safety Signs that are missing out-dated fire-extinguishers. Etc.

Record anything you identify as a hazard or is missing as you will be using this later in
Assessment 5 when you role play a Work place Health and safety meeting.

This assessment may incorporate both internal and external areas of your workplace or the college.

involves pushing, pulling, lifting, lowering, holding and carrying. In hotel, almost half of injuries involve
manual handling.
1. Planning the lift
 Involves assessment of weight of material and load.
 Analysing requirement of support or team lift and utilization of equipment.
 Planning the path to understand the movement of load, decreasing the distance and analysing
things in way.
2. Getting in position

 Bending knees not back.
 Getting firm hold on load
 Keeping load close to body.
 Straighten legs to lift and using leg muscles not back.
 Moving smoothly and avoiding quick movements.

3. Carrying the load.

Garry sekhon

Posture refers to way that individual holds body. Good posture defence back and neck of person.
Movements like cooking, stretching, pulling and bending can also strain muscles of individual. There are
various tasks in hotel where safe posture protects employee if they use safe posture.
6. Avoiding tiredness
In hotel work, people usually get tired due to their shift tasks, long hours or being physically active. It is
considered as easier to make mistakes and getting injured when person is tired.
There two essential ways of avoiding tiredness
 Rotating jobs: This involves doing heavy tasks and then changing to a lighter task for a while or
changing
from boring repetitive task. This means utilizing different muscles or using them in different
techniques so that they have appropriate opportunity to recover (Jiang, 2019).
 Taking Breaks: Person should take breaks between the task they perform for relaxing the muscles.
Short rest
breaks are important for recovery than less long breaks.

7. Safe utilization of equipment: Always unplugging electric equipment before cleaning them and never
using piece of equipment if electrical cord is frayed. Electrical leads must not be wrapped around
electrical equipment while utilization and never using electrical equipment near water.
8. Effective with electrical equipment: Person should avoid using equipment which are not safe and also
consider that equipment they are using must be safe, not damaged or unsafe.
6. Appropriate handling of harmful substances: Major dangerous substances are utilized in hotels such
as cleaning materials. It can also damage health and cause injury so organization need to learn the
ways to handle them effectively.
