WAYS TO IMPLEMENT RECURRENT ASSESSMENT — CHECKLISTS FOR ASSESSORS

The checklists will be used to assess the performance of individuals during daily operations and will constitute evidence for the completion of recurrent assessments/proficiency checks.

The following is an example of a checklist that may be used by an assessor to perform recurrent assessments (proficiency checks) of individuals for the operation of a conveyor belt loader.

Operational assessment checklist — user guide

— After the assessment, mark each task with ‘pass’ or ‘not yet compliant’ or ‘not checked’.

— If completing this on paper, write down the result manually.

— Afterwards rate each chapter with the criteria from the drop‑down menu.

— Add notes/comments in the box below the question.

— An ‘error‑free learning’ philosophy is applied. To pass the assessment, a result of 100 % ‘pass’ for all checked tasks is mandatory.

— Fill out the ‘short summary’ with an overall comment or special observation.

— The answers can be found on the last page(s) of this document.



I hereby confirm that this assessment was performed according to the GH organisation’s standards and the result was shared with the employee. In case further actions are needed, they will be initiated.

I hereby confirm that I was assessed according to standard. I was told the result and accept the outcome of this assessment.
