Assessment Criteria: Assessment of this learning outcome will require a learner to demonstrate that they can:

1. Understand emergency preparedness within the workplace.

1.1 Analyse ways in which cost-effective recommendations can be made that are capable of improving an Emergency Preparedness Plan, procedures and policies.
1.2 Quantify the level of compliance with legal
1.3 requirements relating to fire prevention, response and evacuation.
1.4 Analyse ways in which a cost-effective business case can be made that meet financial, technical and operational objectives.
1.5 Analyse the impact arising from revisions to emergency plans due to changes in the workplace and activities.

2. Understand the different types of workplace hazards and their controls.

2.1 Analyse the suitability of risk assessment and mitigation arrangements for common workplace hazards.
2.2 Analyse ways in which cost-effective solutions to risk assessment and mitigation arrangements can be made in high risk work environments.
2.3 Analyse ways in which noise curtailment strategies can be developed that meet legal requirements.
2.4 Analyse in which cost-effective recommendations can be made for improvements to exposure to levels of vibration.
2.5 Evaluate the characteristics of effective processes to investigate radiation-related incidents and management systems.

     

3. Understand the principles of fire and explosion safety management in the workplace.

3.1 Analyse the requirements of fire and explosion safety legislation and standards.
