Format of the open-book examination: 

The open book examination will begin by giving you a scenario. This will typically describe a realistic organization or workplace with an outline of normal operational activities and worker behaviour. The scenario may go on to outline a developing situation, such as an incident or safety intervention. You may be asked to imagine that you hold a specific role, such as a safety manager, in the workplace described. You will be asked to carry out a series of tasks (Questions), which may be split into several sub-tasks(sub-questions).  

Answers, therefore, need to be relevant to the scenario and, in some cases, specific evidence will be required to support your answers. As we expect you to provide more detail and reflection, you will be given 24 hours to research and complete the examination.

 UNIT IG1 – An open book test to check your knowledge. This is a scenario-based interview, and you will be asked questions concerning your contribution (4hrs from 24 hrs).
