To organize an assessment activity, one must consider several factors including the equipment and tools needed, the competency dimensions to be evaluated, evidence gathering methods, workplace policies, and the availability of an assessment site and candidate. The assessor is responsible for ensuring all necessary assessment resources such as tools, equipment, materials and personal protective equipment are available at the assessment site, which should provide a conducive environment for assessment and have functional and safe equipment. Candidates should also be notified of any resources they need to supply.
