Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions allow learners to apply legal principles to realistic workplace scenarios, enhancing their ability to handle disciplinary hearings, conduct risk assessments, and respond to incidents. Through role-plays and case studies, learners develop hands-on skills in managing legal liability.

Practical Activities

• Disciplinary Hearing Simulation — Learners participate in a mock disciplinary hearing, taking on roles such as chairperson, presenter, employee representative, and witness. (4h)
• Workplace Risk Assessment Exercise — Learners conduct a workplace risk assessment using provided scenarios and identify legal obligations under OHSA. (4h)
• Incident Investigation and Reporting — Learners investigate a simulated workplace incident, gather evidence, and complete an incident report. (4h)
• Decision-Making Case Study Analysis — Learners work in groups to analyze complex case studies involving potential legal liability and present their recommendations. (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
