The situation

What has happened

Every Thursday morning Wayne Cooper walks the garden, the shed and the paths to look for hazards. This week you are walking with him. The shed has safety signs on the door and on the chemical cupboard, and the garden has a sign about wearing gloves and sun protection. During the walk you find a rake left tines up on the path, a bag of potting mix split open near the tap, and a wasp nest starting under the shed eave. Wayne wants you to read the signs and tell him what they mean, pick one hazard and fill in the Incident and Hazard Report Form for it, and then add the hazard to the register.

Your brief. Recognise and explain the safety signs in the garden and shed, spot the hazards on the walk, choose one and report it correctly on the form and in the Incident and Hazard Register, and talk with Wayne about what to do about it so no one gets hurt.

What to look for

Evidence guide

Look for correct recognition of common safety signs and symbols and a plain explanation of what each requires. The form must be filled in with the required fields and be readable. The learner must show they know who to tell and that reporting comes before trying to fix a hazard. Spoken responses can be short but must show understanding of the hazard and a sensible response.

The student's evidence summary lists every record they created or changed in the systems named above, their notes and the tasks they ticked. Verify it against the deliverables and your own assessment tool.
