5. ASSESSMENT ADVICE

5.1. General guidelines for conducting assessment

5.1.1. ATPs are advised to prepare an assessment plan for the course.

5.1.2. The assessment plan comprises four main parts:

• Overview of the assessment tools and its duration

• Instructions for the conduct of the assessment

• Instruments or tools of assessment (question paper, practical checklist)

• Assessment summary record 5.1.3. The assessment plan is subject to review on an annual basis by the ATP

to ensure that participants are constantly kept current and competent of the

industrial requirements.

5.2. Principles of assessment

Assessment will be fair, valid, reliable and flexible for all trainees without

deliberate barriers against the individual.

Fair – Are the assessments criteria clear? Do all the trainees know what to

expect from the assessment? Does the assessment disadvantage any

trainee? Do the candidates have any recourse to appeal?

Valid – Are the assessment methods and tools appropriate and effective in

assessing what they claim to assess? Are the evidence collected relevant to

the training and demonstrates that the learning outcome has been achieved?

Reliability – Are the results consistent from one assessment to another? Do

people have the confidence that the standards are applied consistently from

learner to learner and from context to context?

Flexibility – Can the assessment be used for multiple assessments? Are the

assessment tools and methods uniform across different approaches and

drawing on a range of different methods? Can they be used appropriately to

the context, task and individual under assessment?

9 | CDA_WAH_W

5.3. Assessment tools and instruments

5.3.1.The ATP must conduct written test (WT) and practical performance (PP)

a. Written test (WT) This method of assessment is quick and the most convenient to conduct. It can be used for a large class and a wide range of subjects particularly knowledge-based. It should consist of multiple choice questionnaires (MCQ) and short answer questions to assess the competency of the participants, in terms of the knowledge and application for WAH. The WT should cover all learning objectives which should be proportional to the importance of the subject and duration. b. Practical performance (PP) This method is highly recommended for skills assessment. It can be matched very closely to the actual task to be performed by the individual on the job. Based on the WAH setup for various WAH situations, participants shall be assessed on the following:

• Harness fitting

• Usage of Twin Lanyard for 100% tie-off

• Traversing using Horizontal Lifelines

• Ascending with Fall Arrestors and Vertical Lifeline

• Ascending and descending with Retractable Fall Arrestors

• Inspecting the personnel fall protection and fall prevention equipment for defects

• Identification of a fragile surface (skylight) and avoidance of the fall hazard

• Safe use of Ladders : 3 point contact

• Use of the 3 prioritised self-relief technique during harness suspension trauma situation

5.3.2. Evidence of the competency mentioned above during the practical

assessment must be observed by the assessor and documented in the

assessment record. At no time should a participant be left alone going through

the circuit without the supervision of an assessor.

5.3.3. The recommended time allocated for assessment shall comprise of 30

min for written assessment and 60 min for the practical assessment.

5.4. Conduct of assessment

5.4.1. Assessment must be strictly conducted in accordance with the

assessment plan. In particular, each participant must complete all the

assessment requirements in the time allocated.

5.4.2. The assessor shall assess the competency of the participant based on

the evidence gathered. The evidence for each of the assessment instrument is

10 | CDA_WAH_W

given in the suggested response to the WT and the checklist accompanying

the PP, RP and CS.

5.5. Recording and reporting of assessment outcome

5.5.1. All assessment outcomes must be accurately recorded in the

assessment summary record form.

5.5.2. Assessment outcome must be conveyed to the candidate at the end of

the assessment. Candidate must acknowledge the assessment outcome and

both the assessor and candidate counter-sign on the assessment record form.

5.5.3. The ATP shall maintain a record of the assessment results for 2 years

for inspection by MOM.

11 | CDA_WAH_W

5.6. Minimum Examination Requirements & Passing mark

5.6.1 The trainee/candidate must pass all the components of the practical assessment. However, the trainee is allowed to make no more than 3 mistakes cumulatively in his full practical assessment. He would then be allowed to re-take the assessment a second time after he has reviewed his own mistakes and coached by his trainer. In the event the trainee makes more than 3 mistakes, he fails the assessment and would be required to re-course. Only two assessment attempts are allowed for each trainee per practical assessment.
