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!

CPCCDE3016A - Identify hazards on demolition sites and apply risk management strategies

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

Review site characteristics and work plans.

  1. Issues relating to the age and integrity of buildings and structures, and construction methods and materials used, are identified and applied to review of potential risks.
  2. Approved demolition plan and safe work method statements (SWMS) are reviewed and information relating to hazards and risk management strategies is applied to participation in job briefing according to work role requirements.
  3. Job roles and responsibilities for people involved in the project are identified and clarified according to workplace procedures.

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

This unit of competency could be assessed in the workplace by observation of the identification of hazards on demolition sites and the application of risk management strategies.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

A person should demonstrate the ability to:

locate, interpret and apply information, standards and specifications relevant to the identification of hazards and application of risk management strategies on demolition sites

comply with site safety plan and the requirements of WHS legislation, regulations and codes of practice applicable to workplace operations

comply with organisational policies and procedures and quality requirements

communicate and work effectively and safely with others

follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to identify hazards and apply risk management strategies on demolition sites.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of this unit:

must be in the context of the work environment

must meet relevant compliance requirements.

Resource implications for assessment include:

realistic tasks covering the mandatory task requirements

relevant specifications and work instructions

support materials appropriate to activity

workplace instructions relating to safe work practices and addressing hazards and emergencies

information relevant to each task, such as safety data sheets.

Method of assessment

Assessment for this unit must verify the practical application of the required skills and knowledge, using a combination of the following methods:

direct observation of tasks in real work conditions

questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application

review of relevant authenticated documentation from third parties, such as existing supervisors, team leaders or specialist training staff.

Guidance information for assessment

This unit could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units relevant to the job function.

Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support.

Assessment processes and techniques should, as far as is practical, take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

learning skills to:

evaluate own actions and make judgements about performance and necessary improvements

recognise signs indicating undiscovered or unpredicted hazards on a demolition site, for example buried asbestos

respond to change, such as differences in work site environmental and sustainability requirements

numeracy skills to:

interpret scales on demolition plans and drawings

measure site boundaries and exclusion zones

oral communication skills to:

enable clear and direct communication, using questioning to identify and confirm requirements, and share information

report risks and hazards on the work site, including faults in tools, equipment and materials

use language and concepts appropriate to cultural differences

reading skills to:

interpret documentation, including drawings and specifications

understand written instructions, procedures and signage

writing skills to complete simple equipment fault forms

Required knowledge

demolition methods and procedures

general construction terminology

hazards occurring and risk management strategies used on demolition sites

types of plant, tools and equipment applicable to demolition tasks, and:

applications of each tool or piece of equipment

maintenance requirements

safe methods of operation for different demolition tasks

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.
