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

Successful assessment of this unit meets the competency requirement of the National Standard for licensing Persons Performing High Risk Work.

State/Territory OHS regulators have mandated the use of Assessment Instruments and Instructions for Assessment for this unit which have been endorsed by the national body responsible for OHS matters.

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

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability to:

comply with OHS licensing legislation.

effectively communicate and work safely with others in the work area.

identify hazards associated with the operation of the hoist and put in place effective hazard prevention/controls

determine load weights.

effectively conduct materials hoist operations to include the tasks of raising and lowering loads with equipment and materials for cantilevered cars, buckets or platforms.

ensure the hoist is attended at all times.

effectively conduct pre operational and shut down checks of the materials hoist (particular awareness of controls, alarms and lockout devices).

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of the safe and effective application of knowledge and skill to workplace tasks (performance) must be undertaken using the endorsed Assessment Instrument

Assessment of performance must be undertaken either in the workplace or in a realistically simulated workplace setting

Assessors must ensure that the assessment in the workplace is organised to ensure that all the required equipment and materials and a suitable working area is made available to suit the assessment and the workplace

Assessment must occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints

Assessment is to comply with relevant appropriate standard requirements

Applicants must have access to:

personal protective equipment (PPE) for the purpose of the Performance Assessment.

appropriate material hoist and equipment in safe condition

suitable loads as specified by the endorsed assessment instrument

communication equipment (e.g. two-way radios, intercoms, light systems buzzers or bells etc)

Method of assessment

Assessment must be conducted using the endorsed Assessment Instruments. These Instruments provide advice on their application.

The use of 'simulators' in the assessment of this unit of competency is not acceptable.

Assessment may be in conjunction with the assessment of other units of competency.

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance together with application of underpinning knowledge.

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is not only able to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.

Guidance information for assessment

Further information about endorsed Assessment Instruments may be obtained from state/territory OHS regulators.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Required skills for this unit are:

accurately record and maintain information relating to materials hoist operations

communication techniques in the workplace including bells, lights, hand signals intercom and use of two-way radios

conduct materials hoist operations

hazards associated with the operation of the materials hoist are identified, risks are assessed and effective hazard prevention/control measures for those hazards identified and put into place

inspect materials hoist equipment, safety equipment and installation for safe operation

interpersonal communication skills at a level sufficient to communicate with other site personnel (e.g. receive and interpret work instructions, safety information, emergency procedures)

verify problems and equipment faults and demonstrate appropriate response procedures.

Required knowledge

Required knowledge for this unit is:

weight of the load is determined from labels, markings or load paperwork

level of literacy to be able to read and comprehend manufacturer's instructions, procedures and safety signs

Commonwealth, state or territory OHS legislation, standards and codes of practice relevant to the full range of processes for the hoist class

hoist operations and operating techniques

understanding of the hierarchy of hazard identification and control

materials safety data sheets and requirements for safe movement of materials

organisational and workplace standards, requirements, policies and procedures for conducting operations for the hoist class

procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information

rated capacity and working load limits

typical routine problems encountered in the operation of a materials hoist, inspection techniques and adjustments required for correction.

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. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

It includes the application of the hierarchy of control, the six-step preference of control measures to manage and control risk:

elimination

substitution

isolation
