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!

AHCSAW402A - Supervise on-site implementation of conservation earthworks

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

Plan efficient implementation of works

  1. Plans and specifications are reviewed and related to the works site.
  2. Economics of operation are maximised through the deployment of trained personnel and equipment selection.
  3. Work sequences are planned and recorded in line with proposed work schedule.
  4. Materials are ordered to complete proposed works in line with construction schedule.
  5. Compliance with established regulatory planning and environmental legislation is maintained.
Plans and specifications are reviewed and related to the works site.

Direct implementation of planned works

  1. Equipment and personnel deployment ensures structurally sound works in line with earthworks planned.
  2. Job specifications and regulatory requirements are achieved in accordance with the plan or necessary modification.
  3. Modified techniques are adopted to minimise the effect of site limitation in achieving job requirements.
  4. Safe machine operations are monitored to ensure they meet relevant Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) requirements.

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:

implement measures that will achieve the optimum efficiency of the earthmoving operation.

put into practice measures that construct structurally sound earthworks.

control construction to achieve specifications

instigate measures that finish earthworks to specifications.

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 systems of work

plan efficient implementation of works

protect natural areas from damage

direct the implementation of planned works

monitor job specifications

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

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 routine and more complex workplace measures and data

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

erosion and sediment control standards and principles

natural areas topsoil protection and rehabilitation principles

appropriate supervision techniques

erosion control and design principles

sediment control principles

earthmoving principles

principles for machine operation

engagement of subcontractors/equipment, skills and expected outcomes

work sequence knowledge

equipment most suitable to the constructing of erosion and sediment control works

quality assurance systems, processes and practices

staff deployment, supervision and training

OHS and environmental legislation, codes of practice and enterprise requirements.

Range Statement

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

Types of project may include:

earthworks required as part of erosion control projects

farm dam construction

access track construction.
