PRESENTATION

All submissions must be your own work – Do not just copy the words from the text – unless you
are quoting a section from the relevant Acts or Legislations. If you use another organisation’s
material – you must have evidence (letter or reference) to state you actually developed all or part
of the material – and that you actually implement the material on a regular basis.

The presentation of the document is also important. The final document MUST be presented in a
professional format – Insert page numbers and add a contents page.

Your presentation is a major component of this part of the submission. Poorly presented
submissions will be assessed as Not Yet Competent and returned for resubmission.

“Tackling an Assessment Task”

There’s no doubt that a lot of reading is required to undertake this course. That means that
there’s a lot of re-reading and referring to the text material required, when undertaking many of
the Assessment Tasks. This Module Advice offers some guidance as to how this can be
approached in an orderly way, so that the volume of the material and the task becomes more
easily manageable.

1. Re-Read the Assessment Task. Sometimes the assessment task suggests which
particular text topics are relevant. Often others may also be relevant

2. Look over the text. Scan down the Index/Contents pages at the front of the text and
look for headings that sound on-topic for the Assessment Task. Mark or tag them.

3. Set up a table (on the computer, or with pencil and scribble paper or on a whiteboard or
butchers’ paper if you like). In the left hand column, list the individual points that the
Assessment Task asks you to address.

4. Re-read the sections of the texts that you have identified in 2. Look for clues about
each individual point you have listed in the left hand column. Note the clues next to each
point in the second column with page numbers as a reference, and make a few notes in
the last column, that can be expanded later.

5. Research the Internet – In some tasks you may need to look up the internet for more
information. Note in the Internet Reference Column– specific websites that you have
found that will help you provide more in-depth information for your task.

For Example:
Task Point Text Reference Internet Reference Notes
Points set out Insert the Topic Insert website Insert short notes
on the Number and addresses and/or regarding your points or
Assessment Page No where topics that you believe comments you are thinking
Directions you believe the will align with your would fit – point form only,
information is Assessment Direction then expand on each point
covered in the Points to complete the task

6. Start writing. Once you have extracted some clues from the texts and noted them like
this, start writing an answer to each point, beginning from your own common sense and
experience, and tap into your text references and notes in the table to back up what you
are writing

You can see that if you follow this system, you do not start writing until you have done a lot of
investigation and planning (just like a construction project!).

In the end, you need to write enough to demonstrate that you have understood the material in
relevant Topics, and can apply it to the situations given. Some parts of the course deal with the
intangibles of management and supervisions, so it can be more difficult to assemble your
thoughts than with more obvious technical or practical issues. Breaking the task down into its
separate parts and trying to focus on each part like this often helps.

Remember to include any examples of documents, forms, reports that you have nominated in
the task.

Above all, do not forget that if you need help, you can contact the Student Relationship Team at
any time, and if required you can be put in touch with your Assessor or Mentor.

How to Write a Procedure

When asked to write a procedure, the Tasks always note: A Procedure is a step by step way of
carrying out a task. Be specific – point form is acceptable but must be in the correct order If you
use the point form system – always begin the section with a short preamble (only requires a
sentence or two) outlining what the general procedure is then follow with the relevant steps.

Include in the procedure WHO is responsible for each task, WHAT each task is, HOW each task is
to be carried out, and WHEN each task is to be implemented. Include a copy of the relevant
documents, when they are to be completed, by whom and when.

Sometimes it is hard to know where to start. Set out your ideas in the following order:

RULES DO’S List your rules first (policies) regarding each phase/section of the
task
DO NOT List what must not be done
PROCEDURE 1 - Who is responsible
Step by Step tasks 2 - What needs to be done first
to carry out the role
3 - What needs to be next
4 - Now list how it is to be done
4 - In what timeframe is each step to be carried out
5 - If it is applicable – nominate where the task should be carried out OR
where information can be obtained
6 - If it is applicable – nominate how the process is to be recorded or
documented
SUPPORT List the correct document that must accompany each document
DOCUMENTS Provide an example of each document (DO NOT FORGET TO INCLUDE
SAMPLE DOCUMENTS – YOU WILL BE MARKED NYC IF SUPPORT
DOCUMENTS ARE REQUESTED AND NOT RECEIVED)
OBLIGATIONS OF PRINCIPAL, CONTRACTOR, SUPERVISOR, SUBCONTRACTOR, WORKER ETC
THE PARTIES Where applicable insert what each officers obligations are
CONTINGENCY List any ‘what to do if the wheels fall off’
REVIEW PROCESS By Whom, When, Frequency
Report Process

ASSESSMENT TASK 7
SAFETY WALK CHECKLIST

PREPARE A SAFETY WALK CHECKLIST FOR THE PROJECT & PREPARE A SET OF
DIRECTIONS TO COMPLETE THE CHECKLIST.

You may wish to provide further information by searching the Internet or

research through other resource material. Should you use any of the material
other than your own – ensure you note where the information was obtained
from and who the Author is. Do not just copy the information as your own
material.

Your employer / workplace coach may provide you access to the organisation’s
intranet system or allow you access to the internet system OR you may access
the internet independently.

Set out the directions in words that are easy to understand and in a format that
your Project Team will be able to read and implement your directions without
having to constantly come to you to clarify each section. DO NOT just copy the
words in the text or copy the example forms provided in the text – use the text
words and forms as a guide to design your own. You will be penalised if you
just copy the text documents.

A Procedure is a step by step way of carrying out a task. Be specific – point form
is acceptable but must be in the correct order If you use the point form system –
always begin the section with a short preamble (only requires a sentence or two)
outlining what the general procedure is then follow with the relevant steps.

Include in the procedure WHO is responsible for each task, WHAT each
procedure is, HOW each procedure is to be carried out, and WHEN each
procedure is to be implemented. Include a copy of the relevant documents,
