Part 5: Worker’s compensation

Complete the worker’s injury claim form using the following scenario.

You are employed as a carpenter for Maverick Constructions. Whilst erecting wall
frames on the second level a multi-level construction site (at 25 Seymour Drive,
Melbourne VIC 3000), you were involved in a worksite incident.

You were standing on a scaffold which had been assembled by a subcontractor to

your employer. The subcontractor did not install a spreader bar and this caused the
scaffold to become unstable.

Your employer inspected the scaffold before you worked on it, however, your
employer failed to notice the problem. As the scaffold collapsed beneath you, you fell
2 metres and sustained a broken femur. Fellow tradie, Mark witnessed the incident.

Observations
Observation evidence is a practical way of supporting someone’s claim for competence. Assessors
observation are designed to provide useful information on your knowledge and skills based on your
knowledge and experience of their actual work performance over a period of time. This assessment is
conducted in a simulated environment. Assessment will be based on observations of your performance in
a simulated working environment

The observation checklist

● Your assessor must complete the observation tool below whilst observing you perform the
required task
 ● Your assessor will use the observation tool during the demonstration and record accurately what
they have observed you do in accordance with the observation checklist and detail the observable
behaviours. All parts to this assessment must be complete
● The assessment tool describes the assessment tasks and criteria for assessment, and are used to
record your observations and outcomes of on the simulated job assessment tasks.

Why is it used?
● Competency based assessment is not a test, rather it is a process of collecting evidence about
someone’s knowledge and skills and assessing that against a set of agreed standards. The
greater the sources and types of evidence we collect, the more we can be sure about the quality
and reliability of the assessment decision.
● The information you provide is used to support, or validate other evidence obtained. It helps to
ensure that the final result is valid, reliable and fair.

The assessment day

● Your assessor will brief you on the task for approx. 30 minutes prior to commencement of this
assessment
● Your assessor will observe you performing the required tasks as noted in the instructions.
Assessment must take place in a safe environment.

At the end of the assessment your assessor will take 30 minutes to provide you with feedback regarding
the observation. You should use this opportunity to ask as many questions and discuss any opportunities
for improvement.

Your assessor will explain the following to you before commencement of the observation
assessment
● You will be required to demonstrate all observations as specified in the task instructions below.
