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 endorsed by the national body responsible for OHS matters for the assessment of this unit.

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 requirements.

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

effectively apply risk assessment and hazard management procedures at a basic scaffolder level.

effectively complete the planning, erection and dismantling of a scaffolding system, in accordance with procedures, including a minimum of erect and dismantle:

Modular Scaffold with return and ladder access and platform brackets (hop-up brackets)

Bracket Scaffold

Mobile Scaffold

gin wheel

Cantilever Hoist

safety net and static line

safety screen

Scaffold to be of a minimum height of at least 5.0 metres above the supporting surface with full edge protection (includes safety screen) for each work platform including toe boards and handrails.

correctly demonstrate fibre rope bends and hitches.

effectively conduct pre and post operational checks of basic scaffolding.

complete handover certificate as required.

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 National OHS 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 for basic scaffolding

Applicants must have access to:

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

appropriate safety equipment in safe condition

appropriate scaffolding and associated scaffolding equipment

communication equipment (e.g. fixed channel two way radios) where applicable

appropriate personnel to assist with the erecting and dismantling of scaffold and scaffold equipment.

Method of assessment

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

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

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

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
