Learner Information
This Learner Assessment Pack is designed for you to complete the assessment for BSBOPS504 -
Manage business risk (Release 1). It may refer to your own workplace/organisation, or to a
simulated business provided by your assessor.
The assessment tasks include Short Answer Questions where you need to demonstrate your
knowledge and understanding of the unit, and the Practical Assessment, where you need to
demonstrate your skills required in the unit. It is recommended that you complete the Practical
Assessments in your own workplace/organisation. If you don’t have access to a real workplace, you
can complete the assessment in a simulated environment where resources and conditions similar to
a workplace must be accessed. Ensure to discuss this with your assessor prior to commencing with
the assessment.
Before you commence your assessment, ensure that you have a good knowledge of the subject,
have thoroughly read your Learner Resource, and clearly understand the assessment requirements
and the expectations of the industry to which the assessment is related.
Assessments are designed to be completed using your industry/organisation, but your Registered
Training Organisation (RTO) may assist you by contextualising the unit to be completed in a
simulated workplace environment.
You will be required to demonstrate knowledge and skills which must be observed directly by your
assessor. Where the observation task may be difficult for the assessor to directly observed, a video
recording of the practical observation task must be submitted as supplementary evidence.
Verification from at least one third-party signatory, and preferably two or more witnesses is required
to confirm your demonstration of these practical knowledge and skills. These witnesses would
usually be your current or recent supervisors, or your assessor.
The practical assessment tasks may be completed using your own workplace, a simulated
environment, or a mix of both, as instructed by your assessor. To contextualise this assessment to
your industry/organisation, you may be asked by your assessor to provide additional information
based on your industry/organisation.
Instructions are given for each task. If you have questions, or unclear how to proceed, consult with
your assessor.
Records of all aspects of the assessment must be kept in your Learner Assessment Pack
The record of assessment is a legal document and must be signed, dated, and a copy stored as
required by your Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
Reasonable Adjustment
Adapted Reasonable Adjustment in teaching, learning and assessment for learners with a disability -
November 2010 - Prepared by - Queensland VET Development Centre
Reasonable adjustment in VET is the term applied to modifying the learning environment or making
changes to the training delivered to assist a learner with a disability. A reasonable adjustment can be
as simple as changing classrooms to be closer to amenities or installing a particular type of software
on a computer for a person with vision impairment.
Why make a reasonable adjustment?
We make reasonable adjustments in VET to make sure that learners with a disability have:
▪ The same learning opportunities as learners without a disability, and
▪ The same opportunity to perform and complete assessments as those without a disability.
Reasonable adjustment applied to participation in teaching, learning and assessment activities can
include:
▪ Customising resources and assessment activities within the training package or accredited
course
▪ Modifying the presentation medium
▪ Learner support
▪ Use of assistive/adaptive technologies
▪ Making information accessible both before enrolment and during the course
▪ Monitoring the adjustments to ensure learners needs continue to be met
Assistive/Adaptive Technologies
Assistive/Adaptive technology means ‘software or hardware that has been specifically designed to
assist people with disabilities in carrying out daily activities’ (World Wide Web Consortium - W3C). It
includes screen readers, magnifiers, voice recognition software, alternative keyboards, devices for
grasping, visual alert systems, digital note-takers.
IMPORTANT:
Reasonable adjustment made for collecting learner assessment evidence must not impact on the
standard expected by the workplace, as expressed by the relevant unit(s) of competency. For
example, if the assessment were gathering evidence of the learner’s competency in writing,
allowing the learner to complete the assessment verbally would not be a valid assessment
method. The method of assessment used by any reasonable adjustment must still meet the
competency requirements.
o People, including:
● At least two relevant stakeholders from the organisation who will receive
the Risk Management Report and invite to assist in identification of risks.
● At least two relevant parties who will receive the updated Risk Management
Report.
● Any other resources required to implement risk treatment activity.
● Relevant stakeholders impacted by the specific activity to be undertaken.
● Key personnel responsible for the implementation of the risk treatment
activity.

Contextualisation
The aim of this workplace assessment is to assess the learner’s practical knowledge and skills in:
▪ Establishing the risk context and researching risks
▪ Consulting with stakeholders to identify risks that apply to scope
▪ Analysing risks and developing a risk treatment schedule and plan
▪ Consulting with stakeholders to confirm their risk analysis and treatment plan
▪ Implementing and monitoring risk treatment
Tasks 1 to 5 of this Workplace Project Assessment are designed only for the purpose of this
assessment and not meant to add/modify any existing risk management policies and procedures
in the learner’s specific organisation/workplace.
Prior to commencing the assessment, the assessor must contextualise these tasks as well as any
other assessment tool provided along with this workbook, e.g., Observation Forms, Assessor’s
Checklists, and other generic templates. The assessor must contextualise these to reflect:
▪ The scope within the learner’s workplace context to which the risk management policies,
processes, procedures, and requirements apply.
This will include specific areas in the workplace/organisation where risk treatment is to
be implemented, and any risk management issues within the organisation it aims to
address.
▪ Legal and regulatory requirements that apply to this project, as well as those
requirements from the state/territory of the learner’s workplace/organisation.
▪ Relevant policies, processes, and procedures from your RTO or the learner’s
workplace/organisation.
assessment forms and templates provided in each task so that they reflect the project
the learner is working on, including the context of the learner’s workplace/organisation.
For example, the Assessor’s Checklist in Task 1 outlines the requirements that the learner
must provide to complete a Risk Management Report for a workplace risk management
policies, processes, procedures, and requirements. The criteria provided are generic and
do not apply to a specific workplace/organisation.
Adapt/revise the contents of this checklist and the corresponding form/template so that
they cover all requirements that apply to the project.
Generic forms and templates are provided in the project tasks, unless otherwise specified.
Learners who are currently in the workplace can use similar forms and templates used by their
workplace/organisation to complete each assessment task. However, the forms/templates they
will use must cover all criteria required by each assessment task, and all requirements specified
in the task must be included in their submissions. You must review the forms and templates the
learner will use before they start the assessment.
IMPORTANT:
Any contextualisation required must be completed before distributing the assessment
workbooks and associated assessment tools to the learners.
When contextualising the tasks for your RTO and your learner, ensure the assessment tasks
and benchmark performance still address the relevant unit requirements and assessment
requirements in compliance with Standards for RTOs 2015 Clause 1.8-1 Principles of
assessment and Clause 1.8-2 Rules of evidence.
