Highfield Level 4 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace (RQF) 4 Guidance on delivery The total qualification time for this qualification is 55 hours and of this 40 are recommended as guided learning hours. TQT is an estimate of the total number of hours it would take an average learner to achieve and demonstrate the necessary level of attainment to be awarded with a qualification, both under direct supervision (forming guided learning hours) and without supervision (all other time). TQT and GLH values are advisory and assigned to a qualification as guidance. Guidance on assessment This qualification is assessed in two parts: Part 1: Learners are expected to undertake the following activities: • Undertake a risk assessment • Construct a safe system of work These activities should be completed during the course and do not need to be in examination conditions. Guidance for completion of part 1 is contained within the Tutor and Assessor Support Pack which is available to download from the Highfield Qualifications website. Suggested forms are contained in a Learner Pack, but are also available to download from the Highfield Qualifications website. Once complete, the assessor (usually the same person as the course tutor) will mark the work. This part of the assessment will be subject to external moderation by Highfield. Only once moderation has taken place will the learner’s fin al result be confirmed. Guidance on external moderation is contained within the Tutor and Assessor Support pack. Part 2: Written examination - total duration 3 hours The examination will take the form of a written case study and learners must answer the questions set in relation to the case study provided in the exam paper. Learners will not have access to this case study in advance of the examination and may be tested on a sector area with which they are not directly familiar. Learners will be asked to apply their knowledge on the subject of health and safety and will not be expected to demonstrate an understanding of the specific operations of the business outlined in the case study. Successful learners will have to demonstrate knowledge and understanding across the qualification unit and achieve a pass mark of 60%. Learners will achieve a Merit grade at 70% and a Distinction grade at 80%. Completed examination papers should be returned to Highfield for marking and results will then be provided to the Centre afterwards. Part 1 must be sent to Highfield at the same time as the examination paperwork is returned for the assessments to be more efficiently processed. Following the assessment, a list of results will be provided to the Centre Contacts stating whether learners have passed or failed. Learners must achieve a pass in both assessment parts to achieve the qualification.
