Questionário temático 1: What to delegate and to whom

O que saber antes do exame

The UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) says shift handover should be face to face, two-way (both people share responsibility for getting it right), and both spoken and written.
HSE describes three parts of an effective handover: preparation by the outgoing person, the handover itself, and cross-checking by the incoming person.
HSE states that many accidents have happened because of communication failures at shift handover. The Cullen Report found failed information transfer at handover was one of the factors in the Piper Alpha disaster.
Higher-risk handovers include maintenance that runs across a shift change, safety systems that are overridden, work that differs from normal, staff returning after a long absence, and handovers between experienced and inexperienced staff.
Ontario's training syllabus for security guards lists shift handover procedures, including how to update the next person on shift, among the basic security procedures.
In Alberta, supervisors must advise the workers they supervise of all known or reasonably foreseeable work hazards.
"Do you understand?" does not check understanding, because people often say yes anyway. Teach-back asks the person to explain in their own words.
The Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) suggests that instructions for a delegated task cover what, how, why and when.

Perguntas frequentes

What is the Certificate of Completion, and what is it not?

It shows that you finished this course and scored at least 80% on the final assessment. It is not an accredited qualification, a security licence, or a vendor, employer or government certification.

Who is this course for?

New supervisors, team leads and anyone who works shifts, for example in security, hotels, restaurants, stores and offices. You do not need to be a manager: everyone hands over work at the end of a shift or before a vacation.

How does the final assessment work?

It has 35 questions picked at random from the course's question bank, and you have 35 minutes. You get a new mix of questions each time you try.

Does this course replace my site's post orders or my employer's handover procedure?

No. Your post orders, handover forms and employer policies always come first. This course teaches general skills that help you use them well.

Are the handover logs in the lessons official forms?

No. They are examples written for this course. Use the log, checklist or system your workplace provides.

O certificado é acreditado ou reconhecido oficialmente?

Não. É um certificado de conclusão privado, apenas para o seu conhecimento. Não é reconhecido, acreditado nem aprovado por nenhum governo, entidade licenciadora, regulador ou instituição de ensino e não substitui qualquer licença, certificação ou formação exigida por lei.
