Candidate Information
This Learner Assessment Pack is designed for you to complete the assessment for BSBSUS211 -
Participate in sustainable work practices (Release 1). It may refer to your own
workplace/organisation, or to a simulated business provided by your assessor.
The assessment tasks include Knowledge Assessment 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.

Each Learner Assessment Pack is made up of four parts:

 Before
you commence your assessment, ensure that you have a good knowledge of the subject, have
thoroughly read your Candidate 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).

BSBSUS211 5|Page Learner Assessment Pack

Steps for Candidates
Your Learner Assessment Pack:
1. Upon receiving your Learner Assessment Pack, discuss with your assessor the expectations
and requirements of this assessment. You may also need to supply contact details of one or
two work referees who can confirm your skills in the industry.
Discuss with your assessor if you intend to undertake the practical assessment tasks based
on your employing organisation, in a simulated business, or in a mix of both.
2. Your Learner Assessment Pack is where you will get the task information. Complete each
task as instructed using either your own workplace, or using a simulated business, as
discussed with your assessor.
3. After you complete your assessment, gather and submit your evidence documents as
detailed in the task(s) in the timeframe agreed with your assessor.
Your assessor will advise you if there are any further steps for you to take to satisfactorily
complete this assessment.

Reasonable Adjustment
Adapted Reasonable Adjustment in teaching, learning and assessment for candidates 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 candidate 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 candidates with a disability have:
 The same learning opportunities as candidates 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
 Candidate support
 Use of assistive/adaptive technologies
 Making information accessible both before enrolment and during the course
 Monitoring the adjustments to ensure candidates 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 candidate 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 candidate’s competency in writing,
allowing the candidate 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.

Question 4

Read the following scenario about sustainability practices in the workplace:

As a maintenance clerk in a new building, you were tasked is to check for the provision resources,
specifically electricity, paper and water. While there is safe and enough provision of paper and
electricity, you noticed that there was no available drinking water in the building.
Access the following documents applicable to your state/territory:
 WHS Regulation
 Code of practice on Managing the work environment and facilities
If your state/territory does not have an equivalent code of practice, use the model code of practice.
Answer the questions below about the requirements for organisations in providing drinking water in the
workplace.

Access the Duty to provide and maintain adequate and accessible facilities section of the WHS Regulation
applicable to your state/territory to answer the next question.

a. Identify who in the workplace should ensure the provision of adequate facilities for workers,
including drinking water.

Generally speaking, it is the duty of employers or persons conducting a business or enterprise

(PCBUs) to make sure that workers have access to sufficient facilities, including drinking water. The
duty of care under occupational health and safety rules outlines this obligation.

Access the Drinking water section of the Code of practice on Managing the work environment and facilities
applicable to your state/territory to answer the next two questions.

b. Identify where the supply of drinking water should be positioned.

Guidelines for workplace health and safety state that drinking water supplies should be placed
in a convenient location and be simple for employees to get to. This usually means that it should be
placed in common locations where employees can access it without experiencing undue hardship,
like break rooms or kitchenettes.

c. Identify the ideal temperature of the drinking water.

Water for drinking should be at the right temperature to be consumed. While exact
temperatures may differ, drinking water should normally be available at a temperature that is suitable
for employees to consume without putting their health at danger or creating pain.

sustainable practices frequently results in lower operational expenses.

a. Enhanced Reputation: Companies that place a high priority on sustainability gain the respect
and trust of stakeholders, consumers, and staff members.

c. Regulation Compliance: Companies can stay out of trouble legally and financially by following
environmental regulations and standards.

d. Enhanced staff Morale: By showcasing business responsibility and a dedication to ethical

principles, sustainable practices can raise staff morale and satisfaction.

e. Efficiency and Innovation: Promoting sustainability encourages innovation in services, goods,

and processes, which creates a competitive edge and separates businesses in the market.
