Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria of this unit and include demonstration of applying

the underpinning knowledge and skills

location interpretation and application of relevant information standards and specifications

compliance with work instructions OHampS regulations and stateterritory legislation applicable to working in aircraft confined spaces

compliance with organisational policies and procedures

safe preparation entry and exit performance and application of all appropriate procedures
