Guidance to learners There are two question papers for this assessment. This paper (Paper 2 of 2) has 200 available marks.
Information for learners This paper includes activities that:1. You must carry out in your chosen workplace;2. require you to reflect on your practices.
Typically, the chosen workplace will be the workplace in which you normally work. However, if your workplace is not suitable (for example it does not provide sufficient scope), you can choose any suitable workplace, provided you can access the information you need to complete the activities in this part.
Workplace-based activities
Activity 1: Create an organisational risk profile for your chosen organisation
This section is very important. It describes the main risks that your organisation faces. The answers you give to the remaining activities in this paper must be consistent with the information you provide here (unless otherwise stated). For example, if the risks that you give here relate to the banking or insurance sectors, it would be unusual to later describe a situation where welding contractors are repairing a chemical storage tank in your own organisation.
