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

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment

Apply environmental regulations and best practice

Identify material used in the business and assess their environmental impact

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:

minimise risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage and wastage of goods, equipment and products

maintain required production output, product and service quality

Conduct operator maintenance on tooling and equipment to ensure environmental efficiency

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment

Use of a spill kit.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.

Access to an automotive business excluding, body repair, marine, mechanical involving removal of components containing oils or other fluids.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.

Guidance information for assessment

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

collect, organise and understand information related to environmental procedures from legislation, regulations, policies, guidelines and workplace practices in a workplace or business

communicate ideas and information to enable work is undertaken in accordance with environmental best practice, coordination of work with site supervisor, other workers and customers, and reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities, including preparation of equipment and material and selection of worksite to avoid environmental contamination, backtracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to minimise wastage, optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements and estimate material requirements

use planning, checking and inspection techniques to avoid environmental contamination and wastage

use workplace technology related to environmental protection equipment

Required knowledge

Knowledge of:

aspects of environmental legislation and its implications to work being undertaken

characteristics and potential environmental impact of products used in the business

philosophy of prevent, reuse, reduce, recycle

procedures for reporting machinery faults and material defects

internal reporting procedures for significant environmental damage occurring in the workplace

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.
