Practicals

16 hours of practicals To be conducted online or on-campus or in-house
Overview

The practicals provide hands-on experience in hazard identification, risk assessment, and control implementation using real-world scenarios. Learners will apply techniques such as HAZOP and risk matrix scoring, and develop risk treatment plans in group exercises.

Practical Activities
  • Hazard Identification Walkthrough — Learners conduct a simulated workplace inspection to identify hazards using checklists and observation. (4h)
  • Risk Assessment Exercise — Using a case study, learners perform a qualitative risk assessment including risk scoring and evaluation. (4h)
  • Control Measures Implementation — Learners develop and present a risk treatment plan for a given scenario, selecting appropriate controls. (4h)
  • Incident Investigation Simulation — Learners investigate a mock incident, conduct root cause analysis, and propose corrective actions. (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.
