Aim
The aim of this unit is to provide learners with the skills and knowledge to be able to understand own responsibilities and the responsibilities of others relating to health and safety in the work setting, including procedures for responding to accidents, sudden illness, and basic life support. Learners will also be provided with the knowledge and skills to manage own mental health and personal well-being.


Assessment guidance and/or requirements
Assessment of this unit will be through the completion of a mandatory portfolio of evidence.
Assessment decisions for skills-based learning outcomes must be made during the learner’s normal work activity.
Skills-based assessment must include direct observation as the main source of evidence and must be carried out over an appropriate period of time.
Criteria 3.3 Some learners may not be employed in settings where moving and handling of individuals is required. Other evidence to show that the learner would be able to do is permissible. The learner is expected to demonstrate safe moving and handling of objects within normal work activity.
Any knowledge evidence integral to skills-based learning outcomes may be generated outside of the work environment, but the final assessment decision must show application of knowledge within the real work environment.
