Reproduced verbatim from the Pearson specification — the same grid the assignment brief carries. A unit grade is the highest band where all criteria in that band (and every band below it) are met.
Pass
5 criteria
A.P1Describe the health and safety responsibilities of the employer and employees under the requirements of the legislation and regulations that apply in an engineering workplace
A.P2Explain the use of accident procedures and why a given health and safety incident in an engineering workplace resulted from the employer and employees not conforming to the requirements of the legislation and regulations that apply
B.P3Select the correct personal protective equipment to be used for an engineering work activity
B.P4Prepare for and carry out an engineering work activity safely with some assistance
B.P5Prepare for and carry out an engineering work activity safely, independently and effectively
Merit
2 criteria
A.M1Evaluate the use of accident procedures and the consequences of the employer and employees not conforming to the requirements of the legislation and regulations that apply for a given health and safety incident in an engineering workplace
B.M2Justify the procedures used to prepare for and carry out an engineering work activity safely, independently and effectively
Distinction
2 criteria
A.D1No You have not addressed this by justifying the accident procedures that should have been used in a contextual manner. General comments A good start Geraldine. You have achieved the Pass and Merit criteria within this assignment. You are capable of achieving the Distinction criteria with a little more work. Learner Declaration - I certify that the evidence submitted for this assignment is my own. I have clearly referenced any sources and any artificial intelligence (AI) tools used in the work.

B.D2Sources of information
Command verbs in this unit
The verb decides the depth expected — that is what separates Pass from Merit and Distinction work on the same learning aim.
Pearson's ladder runs Identify → Describe → Explain → Compare / Analyse → Evaluate / Justify / Assess. A Merit or Distinction criterion on the same aim always implies the Pass beneath it: an “evaluate” answer that never first “explains” fails, however polished it reads. Hover a verb for what it demands.
Learning aims
A. Understand safe procedures and health and safety responsibilities in an engineering workplace
B. Know how to undertake an engineering work activity safely and effectively
How checkb.tech checks this unit
Upload a learner's submission and checkb.tech reads it against exactly these criteria, reporting each one as met, partly met, or not met — with the evidence that informed the verdict cited, so every call is auditable.
The check runs against the official Pearson documents for this unit, and identical evidence always produces an identical result — the same script gets the same verdict every time.
It never awards a grade. You stay the assessor: confirm, dismiss, or act on every criterion before your assessment decision is final.
