| UNIT STANDARD ACCREDITATION AND MODERATION OPTIONS |
| UNIT STANDARD ESSENTIAL EMBEDDED KNOWLEDGE |
| Essential embedded knowledge will be assessed through assessment of the specific outcomes in terms of the stipulated assessment criteria. Learners are unlikely to achieve all the specific outcomes, to the standards described in the assessment criteria, without knowledge of the listed embedded knowledge. This means that for the most part, the possession or lack of the knowledge can be directly inferred from the quality of the learner's performance. Where direct assessment of knowledge is required, assessment criteria have been included in the body of the Unit Standard.
Credited learners understand and can explain: |
| UNIT STANDARD DEVELOPMENTAL OUTCOME |
| N/A |
| UNIT STANDARD LINKAGES |
| N/A |
| Critical Cross-field Outcomes (CCFO): |
| UNIT STANDARD CCFO IDENTIFYING |
| Identify and solve problems and make decisions using critical and creative thinking to identify and deal with hazardous workplace substances and selecting control measures to minimize exposure |
| UNIT STANDARD CCFO WORKING |
| Work effectively with others as members of a team, group, organisation or community by identifying and dealing with hazardous substances in a manner that fosters teamwork and avoids conflict |
| UNIT STANDARD CCFO ORGANISING |
| Organise and manage themselves and their activities responsibly and effectively N/A |
| UNIT STANDARD CCFO COLLECTING |
| Collect, analyse, organise and critically evaluate information about hazardous substances for the evaluation of the risks associated with workplace hazardous substances |
| UNIT STANDARD CCFO COMMUNICATING |
| Communicate effectively, using visual, mathematical and/or language skills in the modes of oral and/or written presentations to communicate control measures, and to report regarding hazardous substance control |
| UNIT STANDARD CCFO SCIENCE |
| Use science and technology effectively and critically showing responsibility towards the environment and health of others for identifying and controlling hazardous substances |
| UNIT STANDARD CCFO DEMONSTRATING |
| Demonstrate an understanding of the world as a set of related systems by recognising that problem-solving contexts do not exist in isolation. Note: He/she must understand the impact of his/her or others' actions in the overall objectives of the working place. |
| UNIT STANDARD ASSESSOR CRITERIA |
| Assessors should keep the following principles in mind when designing and conducting assessments against this Unit Standard:
Focus the assessment activities on gathering evidence in terms of the main outcome expressed in the title to ensure assessment is integrated rather than fragmented. Remember we want to declare the learner competent in terms of the title. Where assessment at title level is unmanageable, then focus assessment around each specific outcome, or groups of specific outcomes. Make sure evidence is gathered across the entire range, wherever it applies. Assessment activities should be as close to the real performance as possible, and where simulations or role-plays are used, there should be supporting evidence to show the learner is able to perform in the real situation. Do not focus the assessment activities on each assessment criterion. Rather make sure the assessment activities focus on outcomes and are sufficient to enable evidence to be gathered around all the assessment criteria. The assessment criteria provide the specifications against which assessment judgements should be made. In most cases, knowledge can be inferred from the quality of the performances, but in other cases, knowledge and understanding will have to be tested through questioning techniques. Where this is required, there will be assessment criteria to specify the standard required. The task of the assessor is to gather sufficient evidence, of the prescribed type and quality, as specified in this Unit Standard, that the learner can achieve the outcomes again and again and again. This means assessors will have to judge how many repeat performances are required before they believe the performance is reproducible. All assessments should be conducted in line with the following well documented principles of assessment: appropriateness, fairness, manageability, integration into work or learning, validity, direct, authentic, sufficient, systematic, open and consistent |

| PROVIDERS CURRENTLY ACCREDITED TO OFFER THIS UNIT STANDARD: |
| This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here. |
