Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions allow learners to apply OHS principles in simulated workplace scenarios. They will conduct hazard identification and risk assessments, practice incident investigation techniques, and develop emergency response plans. These hands-on activities reinforce theoretical knowledge and build competence in implementing OHS measures.

Practical Activities

• Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment — Learners walk through a simulated work area to identify hazards, complete a risk assessment form, and propose control measures using the hierarchy of controls. (2h)
• Incident Investigation Simulation — Learners participate in a mock incident scenario, gather evidence, interview witnesses, and complete an incident investigation report with root cause analysis and corrective actions. (2h)
• Emergency Preparedness Drill — Learners plan and execute a mock emergency drill (e.g., fire evacuation), including assembly point management, roll call, and debriefing. (2h)

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.
