Evidence of Knowledge
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions and include knowledge of: |
greenhouse reduction strategies, including: greenhouse gas emissions profile encompassing: goals and principles of the National Greenhouse Strategy (NGS) what a greenhouse gas inventory is, why it is required, and the sectors to which it applies uses to which the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory can be applied climate change and its impacts encompassing: the possible impact of climate change in Australia techniques for improving the understanding of climate change techniques for communicating to and educating the general public on greenhouse gas induced climate change partnerships for greenhouse action encompassing: actions achievable by each level of government to implement the NGS methods by which the community activity can be engaged in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions initiatives that can be undertaken by the private sector to reduce greenhouse gas emissions advantages of international partnerships emissions trading system efficient and sustainable energy use and supply encompassing: techniques for reducing the greenhouse intensity of energy supply types of renewable energy (RE) sources suitable for use in Australia methods and technique for improving end-use efficiency efficient transport and sustainable urban planning encompassing: how integrating land use and transport planning can assist the greenhouse problem how each of the following can be used to mitigate greenhouse gas; travel demand and traffic management strategies; encouraging greater use of public transport, walking and cycling; freight and logistics systems; improving vehicle fuel efficiency and fuel technologies greenhouse sinks and sustainable land management encompassing: how enhancing greenhouse sinks and encouraging sustainable forestry and vegetation management can complement the AGS how greenhouse gas emissions are obtained from agricultural production and describe techniques to mitigate the emissions models of greenhouse best practice in industrial processes and waste management encompassing: types and methods of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from industry methods of reducing methane emissions from waste treatment and disposal adaptation to climate change encompassing: salient points in each of the key sectors that require analysis and the strategies required in the need for adaptation to climate change quality assessments relevant job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes relevant manufacturer specifications relevant promotional materials relevant WHS/OHS legislated requirements relevant workplace documentation relevant workplace policies and procedures sustainable energy principles and practices. |
Assessment Conditions
Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions. Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate. Resources for assessment must include access to: a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulations relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals. |
