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!

AHCPGD205 - Prepare a grave site

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

Prepare site for excavation

  1. Identify work health and safety hazards, assess risks and report to the supervisor
  2. Select and use personal protective clothing (PPE) and equipment
  3. Select, prepare and use tools, equipment and machinery
  4. Inspect surrounding monuments, masonry or headstones that threaten the stability of the new gravesite and remove if necessary, after consultation with supervisor
  5. Use sludge pump to remove excess water if required
  6. Mark gravesite out to suit coffin dimensions

Assist with the excavation

  1. Assist with excavation of grave
  2. Shore sides of grave where depth of grave exceeds 1.5 metres or as instructed
  3. Cover surface area for 400 mm from the edge of the excavation with an approved material to ensure the integrity and stability of the soil
  4. Secure gravesite with protective restraints to limit access to the site while being established and when left unattended

Backfill and enhance the gravesite following burial

  1. Back-fill grave with soil free from large lumps, plant debris or waste material
  2. Use backfilling techniques to consolidate the soil, to minimise cavities and to restore the ground to its original level
  3. Replace surrounding monuments, masonry or headstones as necessary
  4. Dispose of waste material and plant debris removed from the gravesite in an environmentally ssafe manner
  5. Enhance gravesite as instructed
