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!

AHCDRG302A - Measure drainage system performance

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

Assess drainage and collection systems

  1. A visual inspection is undertaken to determine damaged or broken components and results are recorded in accordance with Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and enterprise policy and procedures.
  2. Areas being drained are inspected for signs of water pooling and problems are recorded in accordance with OHS and enterprise policy and procedures.
  3. Measurements are taken with appropriate equipment to determine drainage performance.
  4. Drainage/tail water quality is measured in accordance with OHS and enterprise policy and procedures.
  5. Water table depth is measured where required in accordance with OHS and enterprise policy and procedures.
  6. Soil salinity is measured where required in accordance with OHS and enterprise policy and procedures.
  7. Factors external to the system, which may cause interference, are identified and recorded in accordance with OHS and enterprise policy and procedures.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

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

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following:

identify and correcting system problems

measure, record and report soil moisture, salinity and water table depth to determine system performance and efficiency

apply measuring and testing techniques

record and report system performance

use computers for recording and reporting drainage system data.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

identify hazards and implement safe work procedures

apply measuring and testing techniques

identify adverse environmental impacts of drainage systems and appropriate remedial action

use computers for recording and reporting drainage system data

implement and follow relevant enterprise OHS and environmental policies and procedures

use literacy skills to read, interpret and follow organisational policies and procedures, follow sequenced written instructions, record accurately and legible information collected and select and apply procedures for a range of tasks

use oral communication skills/language competence to fulfil the job role as specified by the organisation, including questioning techniques, active listening, clarifying information and consulting with supervisors as required

use numeracy skills to estimate, calculate and record routine workplace measures

use interpersonal skills to work with and relate to people from a range of cultural, social and religious backgrounds and with a range of physical and mental abilities.

Required knowledge

OHS guidelines

measuring and monitoring procedures for factors contributing to drainage system performance

positive and negative environmental impacts of drainage systems
