knowledge, skill and experience

pre-identified nine knowledge areas.• With a short introduction and conclusion this amounts to a little over 150 words per knowledge area.• Do not stray from the requested knowledge areas!

Down load Annexure 2 – Project report. Annexure A2 Report:

Report 1 – Project Successes.

Write about your achievements on projects. How you have dealt with every day events.

Introduction; in this paragraph set the scene for the assessor, is this report on one project or a number of projects. Which projects?

Construction Health and Safety - Procurement Management;

*Definition “The act of obtaining or buying goods and services. The process includes preparation and processing of a demand as well as the end

receipt and approval of payment.”

Construction Health and Safety - Cost Management;

*Definition “Management of cost-related activities achieved by collecting, analysing, evaluating, and reporting cost information used for budgeting,

estimating, forecasting, and monitoring costs.”

No one expects a CHSO to be an expert in the field of cost or procurement

management, however they are important knowledge areas and you

must have a basic understanding.

Construction Health and Safety;

Hazard Identification Management

Risk Management

Accident / Incident Investigation

Legislation and Regulations

Health, Hygiene and Environmental Management

Communication Management

Emergency Preparedness

These are the knowledge areas that the average CHSO deals with

regularly. You should be able to record success in each of these

areas without difficulty.

Use practical examples to display to the assessor your

understanding and knowledge

TIPS.

• Do not simply copy and paste material from reference materials.

• If you do use a reference in your report then acknowledge the source.

• Do not leave any of the knowledge areas out, at least try and explain your limited exposure to the particular

knowledge area.

• Remember complete the A2 report to show your individual experiences and understanding - it is YOU that is

registering. Write your report in the 1st person using ‘I’ and ‘My’ as opposed to ‘the company’ or ‘we’.

Report 2 – Project Challenges.

Write about the challenges you have experienced on projects. Every day events or project policy that affects your ability to achieve outcomes.
