Task 1- Safe Working
Assessment Objectives
In this task candidates must produce text,
possibly illustrated, explaining safe working practices when using ICT in a
business environment. The three levels are PASS MERIT and DISTINCTION as always,
and to help you, you can use one of these as a starting point for your
presentation.
Here are a few sources of information to get you started - but I'm sure you can find more
 |
Whilst candidates at PASS are required
only to describe ONE measure in each category, higher levels require a
wider range of measures to be described, with DISTINCTION candidates
covering MOST, if not all, of those listed in the Knowledge,
Understanding and Skills (KUS) of the unit specification document. |
| The EXAMPLES used might
be IMAGES showing safe or dangerous working practices or EXAMPLES drawn
from their own experience of when they have used the measures in their
own work. |

Candidates working at the higher
levels will include more detail in their descriptions. For example at
pass level a candidate might identify the need for the screen to be at
the right height. At merit level candidates would give more detail e.g.
the specific height, whilst at distinction level they should be specific
about the height, distance and angle of the screen. Similarly at pass
level a candidate might describe the need to back up files but this
would be expanded by distinction candidates to cover the frequency of
backup, the medium used and where it should be stored.
I
would recommend you cover as much information as possible to maximise
your chances of a DISTINCTION - it's easier to take information out
than it is to add it. |
