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!

AHCSAW502A - Plan erosion and sediment control measures

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

Establish suitability of development proposal

  1. Data concerning suitability of development site is compiled using industry methodology.
  2. Alterations or modifications to the development plan are noted and reported to developer or consent authority.
  3. Compliance is established with relevant regulatory planning authority or environmental legislation following industry procedures.
  4. Concurrence is established relating to suitability of development proposal and conforms to erosion and sediment control guidelines.

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:

establish suitability of development proposal

prepare reports on erosion and sediment control plans

check selection criteria for earthwork structures or measures against industry guidelines

develop erosion and sediment control strategy

prepare an erosion and sediment control plan.

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

establish suitability of development proposal

prepare reports on erosion and sediment control plans

develop erosion and sediment control strategy

prepare an erosion and sediment control plan

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

relevant environmental, planning and groundwater legislation

planning process for erosion and sediment control

erosion control and design principles

soils and soil formation

levels and levelling

earthmoving principles

total catchment issues

legal requirements - permits

environmental issues

country code

managing peak water flows
