Evidence Required

The Evidence Guide forms an integral part of this Unit and shall be used in conjunction with all components parts of this unit and performed in accordance with the Assessment Guidelines of this Training Package

Overview of Assessment

Longitudinal competency development approaches to assessment such as Profiling require data to be reliably gathered in a form that can be consistently interpreted over time This approach is best utilised in Apprenticeship programs and reduces assessment intervention It is the Industrys preferred model for apprenticeships However where summative or final assessment is used it is to include the application of the competency in the normal work environment or at a minimum the application of the competency in a realistically simulated work environment It is recognised that in some circumstances assessment in part or full can occur outside the workplace However it must be in accord with industry and regulatory policy in this regard

Methods chosen for a particular assessment will be influenced by various factors These include the extent of the assessment the most effective locations for the assessment activities to take place access to physical resources additional safety measures that may be required and the critical nature of the competencies being assessed

The critical safety nature of working with electricity electrical equipment gas or any other hazardous substancematerial carries risk in deeming a person competent Hence sources of evidence need to be rich in nature so as to minimise error in judgment

Activities associated with normal every day work have a bearing on the decision as to how much and how detailed the data gathered will contribute to its richness Some skills are more critical to safety and operational requirements while the same skills may be more or less frequently practised These points are raised for the assessors to consider when choosing an assessment method and developing assessment instruments Sample assessment instruments are included in the Assessment Guidelines of this Training Package

Critical aspects of evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Before the critical aspects of evidence are considered all prerequisites shall be met

Evidence for competence in this unit shall be considered holistically Each element and associated Performance Criteria shall be demonstrated on at least two occasions in accordance with the Assessment Guidelines UEG Evidence shall also comprise

A representative body of work performance demonstrated within the timeframes typically expected of the discipline work function and industrial environment In particular this shall incorporate evidence that shows a candidate is able to

Implement Occupational Health and Safety workplace procedures and practices including the use of risk control measures as specified in the Performance Criteria and range

Apply sustainable energy principles and practices as specified in the Performance Criteria and range

Demonstrate an understanding of the essential knowledge and associated skills as described in this unit to such an extent that the learners performance outcome is reported in accordance with the preferred approach namely a percentile graded result

Demonstrate an appropriate level of employability skills

Conduct work observing the relevant Anti discrimination legislation regulations polices and workplace procedures

Demonstrate performance across a representative range of contexts from the prescribed items below

Group No

The minimum number of items on which skill is to be demonstrated

Item List

A

All

Monitor the effective use of plant and equipment

Ability to deal with conflict

Ability to supervise staff

Organise equipment according the needs of the project incorporating environmentalgeological constraints logistical organisation

Dealing with and reacting to a variety of contingencies eg rain and transport of plant and equipment

B

At least one occasion

Deal with an unplanned event by drawing on essential knowledge and associated skills to provide appropriate solutions incorporated in the holistic assessment with the above listed items

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit should be assessed as it relates to normal work practice using procedures information and resources typical of a workplace This should include

OHS policy and work procedures and instructions

Suitable work environment facilities equipment and materials to undertake actual work as prescribed by this Unit

Appropriate environmental regulation and work practices

Appropriate organisational requirements

Appropriate work environment equipment and tools

In addition to the resources listed above in context of and specific resources for assessment evidence should show demonstrated competency in maintaining pipeline easements

Assessment of this competency must also be undertaken in either an actual workplace or under a simulated work environment Assessment must also integrate the employability skills

Method of assessment

This Unit shall be assessed by methods given in Volume Part Assessment Guidelines

Note Competent performance with inherent safe working practices is expected in the Industry to which this Unit applies This requires that the specified Essential Knowledge and Associated Skills are assessed in a structured environment which is primarily intended for learningassessment and incorporates all necessary equipment and facilities for learners to develop and demonstrate the Essential Knowledge and Associated Skills described in this unit

Concurrent assessment and relationship with other units

There are no recommended concurrent assessments with this unit
