ReleaseVersion 1
Pre‐requisite Unit(s)There are no pre‐requisite units of competency for this unit.
Unit ValueThis Unit must be completed successfully in order to be issued with a competent
result
Unit ApplicationThis unit of competency specifies the mandatory work health and safety training
required prior to undertaking construction work. The unit requires the person to
demonstrate personal awareness and knowledge of health and safety legislative
requirements in order to work safely and prevent injury or harm to self and others. It
covers identifying and orally reporting common construction hazards, understanding
basic risk control measures, and identifying procedures for responding to potential
incidents and emergencies. It also covers correctly selecting and fitting common
personal protective equipment (PPE) used for construction work.
This unit meets the general construction induction training requirements of:
Part 1.1 Definitions and Part 6.5 of the Model Work Health and Safety
Regulations;
Division 11 of Part 3 of the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations 1996
for Western Australia; and
Division 3 of Part 5.1 of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2007
for Victoria.
Learner Assessment GuideWHS – 24/04/2017

It is expected that site-specific induction training will be conducted prior to
conducting construction work.
Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit.
Relevant work health and safety state and territory regulatory authorities should be
consulted to confirm jurisdictional requirements.

Delivery methodBuilding UpSkills (BUS) training and assessment for this unit can be conducted
through the following methods:
Online training and assessment
Video/Phone assessment
Where learners require literacy support and alert us to this requirement, through the
support guide completed upon enrolment, BUS will identify support services for the
candidate and take every opportunity to arrange support programs.
If a learner requires further tuition regarding understanding the learning
resource/materials this can be arranged for individual or groups of learners e.g.
Skype sessions, phone calls, workshops, supplementary learning materials, email
support. See the Learner handbook for more information.
Learner Assessment GuideWHS – 24/04/2017

Requirements to successfully complete this unitAssessment is a formal process that allows you to demonstrate through evidence
that you have attained the required skills and knowledge in the unit covering a range
of performance criteria for on‐site variations for non‐compliance and best practice for
compliance. Assessment cover, elements and performance criteria, essential and
required knowledge and skills and employability skills.
The exit point for the course is when the Unit and elements (1-4) and all assessment
tasks are 100% satisfactorily completed. There is no early exit point. BUS does not
guarantee that learners will successfully complete a training product.
Reporting of assessment outcomesA Competent or Not Yet Competent grade will be determined and reported to you as
Competent or Not Yet Competent within BUS internal recording system. AQF
Certification Documentation, in this instance a Statement of Attainment) will only be
issued if learners are deemed to meet the requirements of the training product.
To achieve a competent result, you must answer 100% of questions/tasks units 1-4
successfully. Upon successful completion a Statement of Attainment will be issued
to the learner by BUS. A statement of attainment is issued when an individual has
completed one or more accredited units. Completion of this unit does not guarantee
that a learner will obtain a particular employment outcome.

White Cards are issued by us, and may be issued through any state or territory in
Australia regulatory authority, not necessarily the one you are employed in. If in
doubt, check with your employer. The National Code of Practice for Induction for
Construction Work has been agreed to be implemented by all states and territories.
This means that Australia wide has a consistent approach to construction induction
training provided and that White Cards from any Australian state or territory are
recognised nationally. For more information, see each state/territories website.
In this unit you will be assessed in the following ways:Theory: you will be required to complete a series of written tasks. These tasks are
located in the course task assessment area of the website, your log in details will be
required to access this.
You are also required to complete video e.g. Skype practical and verbal assessment
to satisfactorily complete your course.
Online Training & Assessment
• The written assessment tasks are delivered and completed online through the
BUS website
• The learning resource is divided into 4 parts and the assessment is in 5 parts
(4 online, 1 video/verbal)
Learner Assessment GuideWHS – 24/04/2017
Page 7 of 22
• At the beginning of each part the learners can read each part of the learning
resource online, or download and or print as a PDF at any time
• Once the training material for a section has been read the learner can
progress to the assessment questions/tasks for that section
• The assessment tasks are asked in direct reference to the information
supplied in the learning resource
• The answers include and are similar to multiple choice, true/false, yes or no,
fill-in-the-blanks, drag and drop, matching or similar and video/verbal
assessment based on written questions and visual images and practical
demonstration.
• The learner can return to the learner resource (online or pdf) at any time
during the assessment without losing their progress
• If a task is answered incorrectly, you will be prompted to re-read the
information the section and attempt the question again
• After 2 unsuccessful attempts you will be prompted to contact a BUS Trainer
for assistance and help regarding the learning materials
Video/Verbal and Practical Assessment
• Upon successful completion of the online assessment tasks the learner is
required to follow the instructions contained within the learning resources in
relation to arranging a video e.g. Skype assessment to complete the required
verbal assessments.
Learner Assessment GuideWHS – 24/04/2017
Page 8 of 22
• The assessor will first identify the learner by asking for the learner’s full name
and date of birth, and comparing them to the enrolment details. When the
assessor is comfortable that they are speaking to the correct person the
verbal assessment will be undertaken
• The video assessment is outlined in the assessment tasks located in the
comprised of a series questions involving real world scenarios which are
designed to test the learner’s comprehension of the course material and
communication skills as well as a practical demonstration by the learner of
skills discussed in the learning resource.
• The assessor will record the learners’ responses as well as whether or not
they have satisfied the set criteria for each question in BUS software.
When are assessment items due?The online portion of the assessment and reading the units should be able to be
completed in about 6-9 hours’ dependent on experience & the verbal portion in
approximately 20-30 minutes.
Your enrolment period is for 3 months. As this is self-directed online learning you
are able to complete assessment tasks during your 6 month enrolment period.
Two examples are provided below:

If you would like a BUS trainer to help you complete a learning and assessment
schedule, please contact BUS to arrange this.
Completion Once the statutory declaration and certified identification documents are received
and the learner has completed 100% of all required tasks competently a statement of
attainment is produced and mailed to the learner within 30 business days. The
learner may access records of certification issued to them by contacting BUS, we
keep records of qualifications and statements of attainment that have been issued
for 30 years.
To help Building UpSkills to improve and maintain the quality of training, learners will
be asked to fill out a learner questionnaire/feedback form. This information will then
be collated and used for continuous improvement purposes.
