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!

A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy the requirements of the elements, performance criteria, foundation skills and range of conditions of this unit. The person must correctly identify waste and hazards on three separate occasions. For each occasion, the person must:

identify waste using the following waste characteristics:

density

level of contamination

quality

shape

size

volume

weight

differentiate waste by the following waste streams:

commercial and industrial waste

construction and demolition

dangerous goods

green waste

hazardous substances

municipal waste

differentiate waste by the following waste categories:

solid: non-hazardous

liquid: non-hazardous

hazardous: regulated, prescribed, dangerous goods, quarantined, medical and clinical

recoverable resources

identify hazards present in the work area and the safe work practices that would mitigate the risks posed by the hazards.

While identifying wastes and hazards, the person must:

follow organisational procedures and comply with regulatory and legal requirements to work safely and protect the environment

practise emergency response procedures with team members.

A person demonstrating competency in this unit must demonstrate knowledge of:

classifications of waste

hazards and risks associated with waste including hazardous substances and dangerous goods

methods for waste containment and isolation

non-conforming waste streams and signs of contamination

organisational policies and procedures and regulatory and legal requirements relating to identifying wastes and hazards

types, streams and characteristics of waste, as specified in the performance evidence.

Range Statement
