Your task is to an OHS inspection of a workplace or facility and report your findings via a PowerPoint presentation.

In your presentation, describe the following:

? The name of the relevant OHS laws (ie the Act and Regulations) that the workplace or facility falls under.

? Your findings based on the checklist.

(Note: you do not actually have to deliver your presentation.)

How to submit your assessment:

You may submit your presentation in one of the following ways:

a) A PowerPoint presentation with your narration notes for each slide in the notes section of each slide.

b) A PowerPoint presentation with your narration notes for each slide in the notes section of each slide, with recorded audio narration embedded. This file can be saved and uploaded as a single PowerPoint (.pptx) file.

c) A PowerPoint presentation with narration notes for each slide in the notes section of each slide, plus a separate actual recorded presentation saved as an mp4 file. This can be a video of you presenting this to a real or simulated audience using any videorecording device (digital camera, mobile phone, etc.). You will need to upload 2 files: your PowerPoint presentation slides (with speaker notes) and your mp4 video file.

Note: If your file size is large (ie greater than 10MB), you may have difficulties uploading it onto Blackboard. As an alternative, you may upload your presentation into a Dropbox, or to YouTube, and just submit the link.

Your completed assessment is to be submitted via the online Blackboard system in the place provided within the Assessment One folder.

Please ensure you include an ECU Cover Page, Title Page, Reference List and your inspection checklist.
