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!

Respond to a hazardous materials incident

  1. Correct category of spill is determined
  2. Incident is reported to the appropriate emergency response agency as required
  3. Safety information on handling hazardous materials is located and utilised
  4. Operational procedures for responding to a hazardous incident are followed
  5. Notice to Airman (NOTAM) action is initiated/cancelled if and when necessary
  6. Awareness of the Occupational Health&Safety (OH&S) and environmental implications of a spill is demonstrated
  7. Clean-up operations are supervised
  8. The serviceability of the affected area is determined
  9. Running log book is maintained throughout the duration of the hazardous materials incident
