Student access to records:

You have the right to access current and accurate records of your participation and results at any time. You can request a copy of your records (results or attendance progress) by contacting the student administration or assessor.

Support:

You may seek clarification about the assessment information and the instructions and tasks at any time from the assessor.

Reasonable adjustments and special learning needs:

Australian School Of Commerce works to ensure that students with recognized disadvantages can access and participate in education and training on the same basis as other students. Disadvantages may be based, for example, upon age, cultural background, physical disability, limited or non-current industry experience, language, numeracy or digital literacy issues.

Where pre-training interviews and LLN assessments reveal that a student may require special support or where, after enrolment, it is made apparent that the student requires special support, reasonable adjustments will be made to the learning environment, training delivery, learning resources and/or assessment tasks to accommodate the particular needs of the student. An adjustment is reasonable if it can accommodate the student’s particular needs, while also taking into account factors such as the student’s views, the potential effect of the adjustment on the student and others and the costs and benefits of making the adjustment.

Any adjustments made must:

· be discussed, agreed and documented in the assessment record

· benefit the student

· maintain the integrity of the competency standards and course requirements as stipulated in the training package

· be reasonable to expect in a workplace.

Reasonable adjustment may consist of:

· providing additional time for students to complete learning and assessment tasks

· presenting questions orally for students with literacy issues

· asking questions in a relevant practical context

· using large print material

· extending the course duration

· Presenting work instructions in diagrammatic or pictorial form instead of words and sentences.

Complaints and appeals:

If you are dissatisfied with an assessment outcome, you may appeal the assessment decision. In the first instance, you are encouraged to appeal informally by contacting the assessor and

discussing the matter with them. If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of such discussion, you may appeal further to training manager. If you are still dissatisfied, you may appeal formally and in writing to have the result reviewed. For more information, refer to the Assessment Policy and the Complaints and Appeals Policy and Procedures available in Australian School Of Commerce Website.

Assessor intervention:

Assessors will check if you are ready for the assessment, and defer the assessment if you are not. Feedback will be given to you at the completion of the assessment. During role play, the assessor may act as a client or employer, where required, but the assessor will not interfere with the assessment. If the assessment activities might impact on your safety or that of others, the assessor will stop the assessment immediately.

Plagiarism, cheating and assessment dishonesty:

Australian School Of Commerce considers plagiarism and cheating as a serious misdemeanor. Evidence of plagiarism and cheating is treated on a case by case basis and the consequences for students engaging in such practices may include failure of the assessment or unit or exclusion from the course.

Simulated assessment scenario: Case study Declaration by a WHS officer to his/her IT Manager:

Subject: REPORT ON HAZARDS ANALYSIS AND CONTROL FOR THE WORLD COMPUTERS STORE AND ASSEMBLY/INSTALLATION SITE.

Sir, in view of the safety concerns of the company, (World Computers) a detailed safety audit was carried out at the hardware store and assembly/installation area. The purpose is to identify, analyse and adopt control measures for hazards associated with the job.

The safety audit is also meant to assess the present state of the company’s Work Health Safety and Environment (work health and safety (WHS) and environment management system: WHS&E - MS) – Management system to bring about improvements.

HAZARDS AND UNSAFE WORKING CONDITIONS

During the audit exercise, we identified several hazards and unsafe working conditions associated with

the hardware store and assembly/installation area project and are stated below.

1) Incomplete personal protective equipment’s (PPEs): Most of the workers were seen working without their personal protective equipment’s because they were not given. The absence of these protective equipment is of great risk because some injuries which would have ordinarily been prevented are left unguarded due the absence of these equipment’s. The most essential required personal protective equipment’s (PPEs) for the job are:

· Safety Boots

· Hand Gloves

· Splash Goggles

· Safety Glasses

· Safety Suits

· Safety Caps

· Safety Belts

2) Absence of fire emergency response personnel and facilities:

· Absence of fire extinguisher at the computer hardware store and assembly/installation site.

· There is no trained and competent fire watch on site.

· Absence of fire alarm, flash point detectors and other fire safety aids around the company premises.

3) Occupational Health hazards to the workers resulting to their exposure to adverse weather conditions:

· The direct effect of the sun rays on the workers working in building 2A and 3C (Heat Stroke and ultraviolet exposure).

· Absence of workshop shade to prevent rain and electrical discharges that might result from thunder strikes.

· The work site lacks a standard toilet facility; hence the workers take advantage of any available space within the company premises for such needs. This action is very unhygienic, coupled with the man hour lose it takes.

· Faulty air-conditioning (thermal comfort) as it has not been serviced from last two years. When it should be done every six months.

· Poor air quality because of faulty air-conditioning unit.

· Improper lighting (as some areas are not properly and adequately have lights) which is causing tripping hazards.

· Workstation set up that is not compliant to ergonomic standards

· Excessive workload on to the workers that cause them finding shortcuts and compromising with the quality of the work.

4) Some of the very essential working equipments/tools are defective and in some cases absent. This has left the workers with no option but to resort to unsafe actions.

· Absence of comprehensive scaffolds and ladder for climbing heights.

· There are no facilities for lifting heavy equipments; hence the workers resort to manual carrying even without their PPES.

· Some of the electrical wiring and cables are old, defective and potential sources of electrical leakage/shock.

5) Complete absence of barricades and caution signs along the River blank which happens to be very close to the computer hardware store. In fact, the River blank is just a few meters away from the work site and is a major safety concern, especially because most of the workers working around there are unable to swim.

6) General lack of awareness to safety, good housekeeping and contingency management.

HAZARDS ASSESSMENT AND CONSEQUENCE

Having identified some of the hazards and unsafe conditions associated with the computer hardware store and assembly/installation store job, we also need to analyse the consequence in order to understand and avert the impending contingencies that might arise.
