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!

  3. Field workers are instructed in burn and safety procedures to conduct the burn using the Incident Control System.
  4. Neighbours and agencies are advised of the intention to burn to ensure safety and maintain client relations.
  5. Cultural sites, assets and entertainment areas are protected according to fire industry practices.
  6. Fire breaks are applied to the area to maintain control of the fire and burn intensity.
  7. Standby fire units are available to control unexpected outbreaks.

Burn defined areas

  1. Weather forecasts and current weather conditions are assessed to determine appropriate conditions and timing for burn.
  2. Fire is applied to targeted areas to organisation requirements.
  3. Area is checked to ensure all portions intended have received required burn.
  4. Assessment of burn is completed and recorded to organisation procedures.
  5. Area burnt is monitored to organisation procedures to avoid wildfire outbreaks.

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:

control burning operations

protect life and property during burning

achieve the correct intensity of burn.

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

the life cycles of flora and fauna of forests/plantations and effect of burning operations

required intensity of fire

the dependence of the terrestrial ecosystems on fire

emergency fire services

radio communication

effects of fire on human physiology

use literacy skills to fulfil job roles as required by the organisation. The level of skill may range from reading and understanding documentation to completion of written reports

use oral communication skills/language competence to fulfil the job role as specified by the organisation including questioning, active listening, asking for clarification, negotiating solutions and responding to a range of views

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

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

Required knowledge

the life cycles of flora and fauna of forests/plantations and effect of burning operations

required intensity of fire

the dependence of the terrestrial ecosystems on fire

emergency fire services

radio communication

effects of fire on human physiology.

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole.

Planned burning may include:

the range of resources available for conducting a planned burn

the range of laws covering planned burning activities

the range of purposes for which a planned burn is used.
