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!

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

It is essential that competence is fully observed and there is ability to transfer competence to changing circumstances and to respond to unusual situations in the critical aspects of:

communicating effectively with others involved in or affected by the work

identifying and assessing hazardous situations and rectifying, or reporting to the relevant persons

operating fire-fighting appliances

safely handling and storage of dangerous and/or hazardous goods and substances

applying safe manual handling practices

safely and effectively operating equipment and utilising materials over the full range of functions and processes for work undertaken on worksite

following worksite evacuation procedures.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of this unit must be completed on the job or in a simulated work environment which reflects a range of safe working practices.

The following should be made available:

a workplace or simulated workplace

situations requiring safe working practices

worksite or equivalent instructions on safe working practice

hazardous chemicals and/or dangerous goods information

materials, tooling and equipment

firefighting appliances and fire test facilities.

This unit may be assessed in conjunction with all units which form part of the normal job role.

Method of assessment

It is preferable that assessment reflects a process rather than an event and occurs over a period of time to cover varying circumstances. Evidence of performance may be provided by customers, team leaders/members or other persons, subject to agreed authentication arrangements.

Required knowledge

General knowledge of:

the implications of OHS on efficiency, morale and customer relations

common automotive terminology

OHS regulations/requirements, equipment, material and personal safety requirements

safe manual handling theories and practices

the selection and application of firefighting appliances
