Assessment requirements


List 10 different types of documents that you use at work. There must be at least one example of each of the following documents:

  • Australian Standard

  • manufacturer's installation guidelines or technical manual

  • material safety data sheet

  • work plan, project schedule or equivalent

  • building code or project specification

  • safe operating procedure or equivalent

  • safe work method statement, job safety analysis or equivalent

For each of the documents you have chosen, answer the following questions:

  • What is the full title of the document?

  • What is its purpose?

  • Who is responsible for looking after it and making sure the employees are using the latest version? (Give the job title of the person, not their name.)

  • What is the version control system - that is, how do you know you're looking at the latest version?

  • Where is it kept at your workplace, and if there are multiple copies, who has copies? (Give the job titles of the people who have their own copies.)

  • Who would you consult if you were out on-site and had a query about a detail in the document? (Give the job title or role of the person you would consult.)
