Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions are integral to this course, allowing learners to apply risk assessment methodologies, use monitoring equipment, and evaluate control measures. Hands-on exercises reinforce theoretical knowledge and build competence in real-world occupational health scenarios.

Practical Activities

• Workplace Hazard Walkthrough — Learners conduct a simulated workplace walkthrough to identify hazards using checklists and document findings. (4h)
• Risk Assessment Exercise — Using the identified hazards, learners perform a risk assessment using a matrix and develop control recommendations. (4h)
• Noise and Dust Monitoring — Learners use a sound level meter and dust sampling pump to measure noise and airborne dust levels, then interpret results. (4h)
• PPE Selection and Fit-Testing — Learners select appropriate PPE for various hazards and perform fit-testing for respirators and earplugs. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.
