Assessment Summary

The learner will be assessed by demonstrating procedures applicable to this unit. They will also be required to answer a number of written questions regarding their actions and theoretical application of knowledge. The assessment will also be part of a simulated activity set by the assessor.

This assessment must be conducted by an SRTA Life & Rescue assessor and must be completed in the workplace or in another environment that accurately simulates the workplace. The assessor is to actively set tasks for the learner and must observe these tasks being performed.

To standardise the application of this assessment, the assessment tasks are based on those specific in the Unit of Competency, MSMWHS212 – Undertake First Response to Fire Incidents and those of the MSM Training Package.
