This Assessment Task Is To Be Completed By Case Study.

In order to demonstrate the skills applicable to this unit, your task is to complete the tasks below using the CASE STUDY materials.
To complete this assessment via case study you will need to download and study the case study materials provided for you. If you are currently working then please download the workplace assessment task. If you are unsure then ask your coach.
This assessment task contains 4 parts - you must complete all 4 parts to satisfy the requirements of this unit of study.

The first step in this task is to familiarize yourself with the case study organization by reading the key and supporting documents provided for download from the same place you accessed this document. If you are not already familiar with this case study, you will need to read it carefully and make sure you have a good understanding of the business and its probable WHS issues.

Where information is missing or is not detailed, you are able to make assumptions and/or make-up your own processes, strategies, statistics etc. The Company information as such is not important, what is important and what your assessor will be looking for is how you use the information to demonstrate your skills and knowledge in relation to the performance and assessment criteria for this unit of study.

The key documents you will need to download and read include the case study overview and the 3 supporting documents that will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the company, its strategies and future plans as well as a wide range of documents dealing with various policies, processes etc.
