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!

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?
Prepare and set up equipment to optimise shearing output
|
|
Range and condition of equipment available for selection meets anticipated shearing conditions. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Equipment is selected and set up based on the assessment of shearing conditions to ensure the optimum yield and shearing throughput within Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) requirements. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Equipment performance is monitored and adjustments are initiated to maintain optimum shearing throughput. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Assess and monitor the shearing conditions and environment
|
|
The style and approach adopted for the shear are appropriate to the shearing conditions, and maintain the quality and throughput at a level that meets enterprise requirements. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Approaches for mitigating adverse shearing conditions are adopted prior to and during the shearing. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Monitoring and assessment of the shearing environment are undertaken with consideration of the whole wool harvesting operation. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Potential and existing hazards are identified and resolved to ensure the quality and throughput are at a level that meets grower and contractor expectations. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Opportunities to support and encourage the performance of other shearers are identified and constructively responded to while maintaining own output. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Maintain control, rhythm and output during shearing
|
|
Personal position and shearing method is adapted to accommodate limitations in equipment performance and set up. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Timing, length and width of blows optimise selected shearing pattern. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Blow commencement and finish positions are economical of effort and reflect the shortest route. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Blow placement, body work and sheep positioning combine to represent sustainable shearing effort and output. Completed |
