Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

AHCBAC504A - Plan and manage a stored grain program

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Plan grain storage program

  1. Relevant organisational documentation and information is obtained and analysed for input to the storage program.
  2. The available storage facilities are identified, recorded and assessed for suitability and capacity.
  3. The projected grain production and delivery quantities, types and timeframes are calculated and analysed against storage capacity.
  4. Temporary storage if required, is arranged.
  5. Timeframes and scheduling for delivery of grain to storage facilities on- and off-site are estimated.
  6. The program includes plans for annual, seasonal and short-term periods, and is prepared to achieve the goals and objectives of the organisation.
  7. The program, including scheduling and key responsibilities, is clearly documented.
  8. The program includes the type, format, frequency and detail of any reporting required by both managers and operators.

Manage the grain storage program

  1. All aspects of the grain storage program are implemented to achieve the goals and objectives of the organisation.
  2. Activities are scheduled and organised to allow for efficient transport and storage of the grain.
  3. Pest control strategies are undertaken according to the requirements of the integrated pest management program.
  4. Personal protective equipment and safety gear is provided to all people operating around the storage facilities.
  5. All OHS procedures that were prepared are implemented by operational personnel.
  6. Checks are made to ensure that the performance indicators, targets and specifications are being met and amendments to the program are made where necessary.
  7. Operational personnel are communicated with regularly throughout the storage, transport, sampling and chemical application operations to ensure efficient and safe operation and progress.
  8. The impact and risk of existing and potential problems are assessed.
  9. Where a potential problem is identified, investigation is made into its likely causes.
  10. Alternative solutions are analysed and reviewed, and the most appropriate is recommended to the appropriate personnel for a decision.
