Assessment

Assessment must confirm competency in a particular activity relevant to mine site operations.

Assessments are to be conducted in the work environment wherever possible. Some aspects may be conducted under simulated conditions where issues of safety and environmental damage are limiting factors.

All assessments must be valid, reliable, fair and flexible accumulating sufficient evidence to demonstrate the required competence.

Evidence of competency is best obtained by observing relevant activities in the field and reviewing the outcomes of several activities over a period of time, under normal industry operating conditions. If this is not practical, observations in a realistic simulated environment may be substituted by written and oral assessments.
