EVIDENCE GUIDE
8) The Evidence Guide forms an integral part of this Competency Standard 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		8.1) 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 Industry's 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 substance/material 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 practiced. These points are raised for the assessors to consider when choosing an assessment method and developing assessment instruments. Sample assessment instruments are included for Assessors in the Assessment Guidelines of this Training Package.
Critical aspects of evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit		8.2) 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 UEG06'. Evidence shall also comprise: A representative body of Performance Criteria 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 learner's performance outcome is reported in accordance with the preferred approach; namely a percentile graded result, where required by the regulated environment Demonstrate an appropriate level of skills enabling employment 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.
			Range of tools/equipment/materials/procedures/workplaces/ other variables
			Group No	The minimum number of items on which skill is to be demonstrated		Item List
			A	All		Liquid withdrawal valves Vapour service valves Relief valves Contents gauges In situ fill valves Multiport valves Sullage tubes
			B	And at least 4 Must do*		Painting Cleaning Refurbishing* Correct storage* Testing of equipment*
			C	All		Inspection checks are made: To determine test date on cylinder is within required period Damage to cylinders Organisation's ownership Corrosion and impact damage Valve threads are clean and in good condition Safety relief valve is capped and free from obstruction Internal deposits Unacceptable paintwork Fire/heat damage Valve to cylinder connection leak
			D	All		Standard operation procedures Emergency procedures and response action State regulations/statutes and permits
			E	All		Work utilising relevant OHS legislation, regulations, codes of practice, policies and procedures Maintain a safe and clean workplace Work safely with hazardous materials and equipment Apply safe manual handling techniques Respond to emergency situations Communicate effectively in the workplace Apply basic planning skills Diagnose and rectify faults for LPG Gas storage processes
			F	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		8.3) 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 Competency Standard 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 refurbishing gas cylinders.
		Assessment of this competency must also be undertaken in either an actual workplace or under a simulated work environment. Assessment must also integrate the Key Competencies.
Method of assessment		8.4) This Competency Standard Unit shall be assessed by methods given in Volume 1, Part 3 'Assessment Guidelines'. Note: Competent performance with inherent safe working practices is expected in the Industry to which this Competency Standard Unit applies. This requires that the specified Essential Knowledge and Associated Skills are assessed in a structured environment which is primarily intended for learning/assessment 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		8.5)
		There are no recommended concurrent assessments with this unit, however in some cases efficiencies may be gained in terms of learning and assessment effort being concurrently managed with allied Competency Standard Units where listed.
