Evidence Required

Overview of assessment

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

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability to

determine work requirements

identify hazards and risks associated with the worksite

establish appropriate plan for the performance of work

apply any stateterritory licensing OHS and environmental legislation standards and industry codes of practice

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The application of competency may be assessed in the workplace or simulated work environment

Assessment may be conducted before a candidate goes to site using appropriate simulations scenarios and questioning

The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team

The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate

Where applicable reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity age gender demographics and disability

Access must be provided to appropriate learning andor assessment support when required

The following resources should be made available

workplace location or simulated workplace

a bank of appropriate scenarios

Method of assessment

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and suitable to the language literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the competency being assessed In all cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess the underpinning knowledge
