Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to:

collect, evaluate and disseminate information on the current and forecast situation

demonstrate the ability to establish management zones

demonstrate sound methodologies in planning and organising resources for clean up response

evaluate, plan and activate workforce deployment

maintain logs and produce effective reports

work effectively as a member of an Incident management Team to resolve an incident

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency should be assessed in a simulated multi-agency response environment or an operational environment.

Method of assessment

Assessment is completed using appropriately qualified assessors who select the most appropriate method of assessment.

Assessment may occur in an operational environment or in an approved simulated environment.

Forms of assessment may include:

direct observation

journals and workplace documentation

third party reports from supervisors

written or oral questions

case studies

Guidance information for assessment

Where possible assessment to be completed holistically and may be assessed with other relevant units of competence. For example including but not limited to:

PUAOIL301 Apply health, safety and risk controls when working on oiled shorelines

PUAOIL402 Apply oiled shoreline assessment strategies in an oil spill response

PUATEA003B Lead, manage and develop teams
