Practicals

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

The practicals in this course allow learners to apply theoretical concepts in realistic scenarios. Through hands-on exercises in hazard identification, risk assessment, incident investigation, and emergency response, learners develop the skills needed to effectively manage safety in their workplaces.

Practical Activities
  • Workplace Hazard Hunt — Learners conduct a simulated workplace inspection to identify hazards and propose control measures. (4h)
  • Risk Assessment Workshop — In groups, learners perform a full risk assessment on a given task or area, using a standard risk assessment form. (4h)
  • Incident Investigation Simulation — Learners participate in a mock incident investigation, including gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses. (4h)
  • Emergency Response Drill — Learners practice emergency procedures, including evacuation and first aid response, in a controlled environment. (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%

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