Note

Do not allow a student to retain their original National Assessment Instrument (NAI) paper(s).

Do not provide a student with a copy of an NAI or their completed NAI paper(s) after undertaking or attempting a HRWL Assessment.

* Confirmation of resources and materials - RTOs must undertake a series of “pre-assessment” activities to ensure that Candidates undertaking and Assessors conducting a HRWL Assessment are safe from risk and harm and that all tasks in the NAI can be completed as per assessment requirements.

...

Compliance may be checked by SafeWork NSW via audit and/or verification activities undertaken by SafeWork NSW.

Compliance action may include. : •

  • Educative Advice

...

  • Corrective Action

...

  • Directed Engagement

...

  • Suspension

...

  • Cancellation.

An RTO can ensure compliance by undertaking taking the actions detailed in the table below. The table outlines the SafeWork NSW expectations of actions undertaken by the RTO RTOs for every HRWL Assessment, to meet the minimum plant and equipment requirements for each assessment. (The Fact Sheet from SafeWork NSW is attached at the bottom of this procedure , outlining outlines the full details.)

HRW RTO Condition

SafeWork NSW expectation of compliant action

Condition 51

Prior to each HRWL Assessment, the RTO must confirm that the resources required to conduct the HRWL Assessment in the relevant HRWL class:

a. are readily available and safe for use, including, but not limited to, the site/venue, plant, equipment, and/or materials; and

b. are compliant and meet the full requirements to conduct the HRWL Assessment as prescribed for the relevant HRWL class in the Guide for Assessors and/ or the NAI

  • The RTO must carry out appropriate due diligence before every assessment.

  • This means having a process that ensures an RTO staff member consistently checks everything is available for a safe, compliant, and full licence assessment before every assessment.

  • Good practice would be to use a checklist so the required items can be marked off

  • If the RTO cannot confirm all required items for the assessment, the RTO must cancel the HRWL Assessment as it is unable to meet the requirements of Conditions 51 and 52.

Condition 52

Prior to each HRWL Assessment, the RTO must provide timely written notification to the HRWL Assessor including, but not limited to:

f. suitable evidence that the resources required to conduct the HRWL Assessment (see Conditions 51(a) and 51(b) above) have been determined as available, safe for use and compliant.

  • The RTO must have a process for providing the necessary written information to an Assessor before the assessment.

  • This could occur via email, OLE notification or hard copy documents and must include either:

    • A written declaration by the RTO to the Assessor that confirms the resources have been checked and are readily available, safe for use, compliant and meet the full requirements OR

    • A copy of the checklist(s) used to confirm the resources have been checked and are readily available, safe for use, compliant and meet the full requirements.

  • If asked to produce this information, the RTO must be able to do so. This means you must be able to show evidence of the email, OLE notification or the hard copy document provided to the assessor.
