Specific assessor notes
1. This assessment should follow the student successfully
completing Assessment tasks 1 and 2. It must be assessed in the
same context as the previous assessment tasks.
2. If a simulated environment is used, the student is to run a
meeting with others to discuss the implementation process.
Meeting participants may include other students, yourself or
other assessors. However, it is imperative that each participant
in the meeting is briefed on their role, and presents themselves
professionally. This is important to maintain the reliability of
the assessment process.
3. The context of this assessment may be based on the student’s
business, or on your training organisation (using the RTO
Policy and Procedures, systems and information as relevant.
The assessment may be undertaken in the following format:
Classroom / Simulated environment.
These assessments must
· Simulation is a form of evidence gathering that involves the
candidate in completing or dealing with a task, activity or
problem in an off-the-job situation that replicates the workplace
context. Documented definitions (such as in the TAA Glossary)
state "Simulations vary from recreating realistic workplace
situations such as in the use of flight simulators, through the
creation of role plays based on workplace scenarios to the
reconstruction of a business situation on a spreadsheet. In
developing simulations, the emphasis is not so much on
reproducing the external circumstance but on creating situations
in which candidates are able to demonstrate:
· technical skills
· underpinning knowledge
· generic skills such as decision making and problem solving
51. · workplace practices such as effective communication"
· In conducting training and assessment in a simulated
workplace environment, trainers and assessors must make sure
that the simulated environment gives the learner the opportunity
to meet the following critical criteria:
· Quality – The work is of the standard required for entry into
the industry.
· Productivity – The work is performed within a timeframe
appropriate for entry to the industry.
· Safety – The work is performed in a manner that meets
industry safety standards.
· Each assessment has taken the following aspects into
consideration, to ensure any simulations provide for integrated
assessment of competence. This includes:
· performing the task (task skills)
· managing a number of tasks (task management skills)
· dealing with workplace irregularities such as unexpected
problems, breakdowns and changes in routine (contingency
management skills)
· fulfilling the responsibilities and expectations of the job and
workplace, including working with others (job/role environment
skills)
· transferring competencies to new contexts.
· Assessment activities must be realistic and reasonable in terms
of scale. Assessment conducted under simulated conditions
should reflect those typically found in the workplace. Where
appropriate to the UOC, simulated environment should allow
the learner to:
· deal with typical customers, including difficult customers and
diverse types of customers
· use facilities, equipment and materials that meet current
industry standards
· plan and prioritise multiple tasks to meet deadlines
· experience the typical workflow for the industry
· require adherence to service standards, workplace procedures,
health and safety requirements
52. · work with others as part of a team
· consider constraints and pressures met in the workplace, e.g.
budget, time, availability of resources
· If a simulated workplace is used, it must allow for distractions
such as background noises, ringing telephones, interruptions,
etc. As this is a business unit, a simulated environment may
also include an office environment with office equipment and
computers. Each student must dress appropriately and
professionally in line with workplace standards.
· For each assessment, you are not to interfere. In the event
that the assessment activities will impact on the safety of a
student or bystander, the assessment must be stopped
immediately

description
Increasingly more businesses and organisations are
implementing sustainability policies to encourage sustainability
principles and practices within the workplace
You are to develop a sustainability policy for implementation in
65. an organisation of your choice.
Organisations may include:
· Your own workplace
· Local councils
· Businesses
· Not-for-profit organisations
· Government department or agency
· Local community groups
· Sporting clubs.
The purpose of the sustainability policy is to develop strategies
for:
· Minimising resource use
· Reducing toxic material and hazardous chemical use
· Employing life cycle management approaches
· Promoting sustainability principles
· Raising awareness among stakeholders
· Training staff in sustainability principles and techniques
Part A: Planning sustainability policy
Before you write the sustainability policy you need to access
information on sustainability practices and the processes and
techniques of writing policy. You also need to discuss possible
approaches to policy development and implementation with key
stakeholders.
1. Gather information from a range of sources to help you plan
and develop the policy. Sources may include:
· Industry guidelines
· Industry best practice
· Relevant personnel
· Organisational specifications
· Legislative requirements
2. You will need to research different methods and techniques
for writing policy. All types of organisations have policies to
guide the way work is done in the organisation. Consequently,
policy documents can be written and presented in many ways.
Some of the issues you will need to consider are:
66. · How you will structure the document most effectively?
· What writing style will you use?
· Will you include the organisation’s general principles and
philosophies?
· How will you organise general policies and specific
procedures?
· Who needs to authorise the policy document?
3. Identify and consult with stakeholders as a key component of
the policy development process. Stakeholders may include:
· Customers
· Staff
· Investors
· Local community
· Regulators
· Technical specialists
You should use a variety of methods to involve stakeholders in
the policy development. You should be prepared to effectively
manage different points of view and dissenting stakeholders.
You are expected to contribute to the resolution of disputes
among stakeholders.
4. Make recommendations for sustainability policy options to
address inefficiencies within the organisation or opportunities
for improvements in sustainability practices based on:
· Likely effectiveness
· Time-frames
· Cost
· Existing organisational policies such as equal employment
opportunity, OHS and equity and diversity policies
· Principles and practices of sustainability management relevant
to the industry
· Industry best practice
· Available tools and techniques of sustainability management
· Continuous improvement in resource efficiencySpecifications
You must submit a report which details your planning process.
You must discuss:
· The organisation you have selected or you are working with
67. · The research you have conducted and the sources you have
used
· The methods and techniques of policy writing you will use
· The needs and interests of each stakeholder group that you
have identified
· Sustainability policy options you recommend including a
discussion of their advantages and disadvantages for the
organisation and for the various stakeholder groups.
· Final recommendations for policy options based on likely
effectiveness, time-frames and cost
Adjustment for distance-based learners
· No variation of the task is required.
· Documentation can be submitted electronically or posted in
the mail.
Part B: Write sustainability policy
Now that you have understood sustainability and the
inefficiencies and opportunities for improved sustainable
practices in the organisation, you must develop a workplace
sustainability policy.
The written workplace sustainability policy that you submit
must:
1. Define the scope of the policy.
This may include:
· Breadth of the policy application – will it be implemented in
parts of organisation, the whole organisation or across multiple
organisations
· Policy approach – will you select an integrated approach
which includes environmental, social and economic aspects, or a
specific approach that focuses on aspects individually?
· Adherence to legislation – will you meet the relevant
legislation which supports the compliance of your organisation
in environmental performance and sustainability?
· Reference the organisation's policy to international and nation
environmental standards, guidelines and approaches – will you
follow guidelines and approaches such as the Global Reporting
68. Initiative ecological foot print and Greenhouse Challenge Plus.
2. Develop a workplace sustainability policy that reflects the
organisation's commitment to sustainability as an integral part
of business planning, and as a business opportunity which
includes benchmark indicators.
3. Develop an implementation strategy as part of the policy.
This may involve developing:
· Relevant systems and procedures to aid in the achievement of
workplace sustainability
· Quality assurance systems
· Relevant protocols
· System for continuous improvement in resource efficiency for
recording and interpreting data
Specifications
You must submit your work as a formal policy document.
You must work in consultation with the relevant people in your
organisation so that the document accurately reflects
organisational requirements.
It is important that your policy is precise, well-structured and
expressed in a way that keeps in mind your target
audience.Assessment Task 1 – Student self-assessment checklist

· Simulation is a form of evidence gathering that involves the
candidate in completing or dealing with a task, activity or
problem in an off-the-job situation that replicates the workplace
context. Documented definitions (such as in the TAA Glossary)
state "Simulations vary from recreating realistic workplace
situations such as in the use of flight simulators, through the
creation of role plays based on workplace scenarios to the
reconstruction of a business situation on a spreadsheet. In
86. developing simulations, the emphasis is not so much on
reproducing the external circumstance but on creating situations
in which candidates are able to demonstrate:
· technical skills
· underpinning knowledge
· generic skills such as decision making and problem solving
· workplace practices such as effective communication"
· In conducting training and assessment in a simulated
workplace environment, trainers and assessors must make sure
that the simulated environment gives the learner the opportunity
to meet the following critical criteria:
· Quality – The work is of the standard required for entry into
the industry.
· Productivity – The work is performed within a timeframe
appropriate for entry to the industry.
· Safety – The work is performed in a manner that meets
industry safety standards.
· Each assessment has taken the following aspects into
consideration, to ensure any simulations provide for integrated
assessment of competence. This includes:
· performing the task (task skills)
· managing a number of tasks (task management skills)
· dealing with workplace irregularities such as unexpected
problems, breakdowns and changes in routine (contingency
management skills)
· fulfilling the responsibilities and expectations of the job and
workplace, including working with others (job/role environment
skills)
· transferring competencies to new contexts.
· Assessment activities must be realistic and reasonable in terms
of scale. Assessment conducted under simulated conditions
should reflect those typically found in the workplace. Where
appropriate to the UOC, simulated environment should allow
the learner to:
· deal with typical customers, including difficult customers and
diverse types of customers
87. · use facilities, equipment and materials that meet current
industry standards
· plan and prioritise multiple tasks to meet deadlines
· experience the typical workflow for the industry
· require adherence to service standards, workplace procedures,
health and safety requirements
· work with others as part of a team
· consider constraints and pressures met in the workplace, e.g.
budget, time, availability of resources
· If a simulated workplace is used, it must allow for distractions
such as background noises, ringing telephones, interruptions,
etc. As this is a business unit, a simulated environment may
also include an office environment with office equipment and
computers. Each student must dress appropriately and
professionally in line with workplace standards.
· For each assessment, you are not to interfere. In the event
that the assessment activities will impact on the safety of a
student or bystander, the assessment must be stopped
immediately

description
Increasingly more businesses and organisations are
implementing sustainability policies to encourage sustainability
principles and practices within the workplace
You are to develop a sustainability policy for implementation in
an organisation of your choice.
Organisations may include:
· Your own workplace
· Local councils
· Businesses
91. · Not-for-profit organisations
· Government department or agency
· Local community groups
· Sporting clubs.
The purpose of the sustainability policy is to develop strategies
for:
· Minimising resource use
· Reducing toxic material and hazardous chemical use
· Employing life cycle management approaches
· Promoting sustainability principles
· Raising awareness among stakeholders
· Training staff in sustainability principles and techniques
Part A: Planning sustainability policy
Before you write the sustainability policy you need to access
information on sustainability practices and the processes and
techniques of writing policy. You also need to discuss possible
approaches to policy development and implementation with key
stakeholders.
1. Gather information from a range of sources to help you plan
and develop the policy. Sources may include:
· Industry guidelines
· Industry best practice
· Relevant personnel
· Organisational specifications
· Legislative requirements
2. You will need to research different methods and techniques
for writing policy. All types of organisations have policies to
guide the way work is done in the organisation. Consequently,
policy documents can be written and presented in many ways.
Some of the issues you will need to consider are:
· How you will structure the document most effectively?
· What writing style will you use?
· Will you include the organisation’s general principles and
philosophies?
· How will you organise general policies and specific
92. procedures?
· Who needs to authorise the policy document?
3. Identify and consult with stakeholders as a key component of
the policy development process. Stakeholders may include:
· Customers
· Staff
· Investors
· Local community
· Regulators
· Technical specialists
You should use a variety of methods to involve stakeholders in
the policy development. You should be prepared to effectively
manage different points of view and dissenting stakeholders.
You are expected to contribute to the resolution of disputes
among stakeholders.
4. Make recommendations for sustainability policy options to
address inefficiencies within the organisation or opportunities
for improvements in sustainability practices based on:
· Likely effectiveness
· Time-frames
· Cost
· Existing organisational policies such as equal employment
opportunity, OHS and equity and diversity policies
· Principles and practices of sustainability management relevant
to the industry
· Industry best practice
· Available tools and techniques of sustainability management
· Continuous improvement in resource efficiencySpecifications
You must submit a report which details your planning process.
You must discuss:
· The organisation you have selected or you are working with
· The research you have conducted and the sources you have
used
· The methods and techniques of policy writing you will use
· The needs and interests of each stakeholder group that you
have identified
93. · Sustainability policy options you recommend including a
discussion of their advantages and disadvantages for the
organisation and for the various stakeholder groups.
· Final recommendations for policy options based on likely
effectiveness, time-frames and cost
Adjustment for distance-based learners
· No variation of the task is required.
· Documentation can be submitted electronically or posted in
the mail.
Part B: Write sustainability policy
Now that you have understood sustainability and the
inefficiencies and opportunities for improved sustainable
practices in the organisation, you must develop a workplace
sustainability policy.
The written workplace sustainability policy that you submit
must:
1. Define the scope of the policy.
This may include:
· Breadth of the policy application – will it be implemented in
parts of organisation, the whole organisation or across multiple
organisations
· Policy approach – will you select an integrated approach
which includes environmental, social and economic aspects, or a
specific approach that focuses on aspects individually?
· Adherence to legislation – will you meet the relevant
legislation which supports the compliance of your organisation
in environmental performance and sustainability?
· Reference the organisation's policy to international and nation
environmental standards, guidelines and approaches – will you
follow guidelines and approaches such as the Global Reporting
Initiative ecological foot print and Greenhouse Challenge Plus.
2. Develop a workplace sustainability policy that reflects the
organisation's commitment to sustainability as an integral part
of business planning, and as a business opportunity which
94. includes benchmark indicators.
3. Develop an implementation strategy as part of the policy.
This may involve developing:
· Relevant systems and procedures to aid in the achievement of
workplace sustainability
· Quality assurance systems
· Relevant protocols
· System for continuous improvement in resource efficiency for
recording and interpreting data
Specifications
You must submit your work as a formal policy document.
You must work in consultation with the relevant people in your
organisation so that the document accurately reflects
organisational requirements.
It is important that your policy is precise, well-structured and
expressed in a way that keeps in mind your target
audience.Assessment Task 1 – Student self-assessment checklist
