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!

DEFCA016 - Use individual protective equipment in a CBRN threat environment

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

Prepare respirator and protective clothing and equipment ensemble to meet CBRN threat

  1. Respirator and ensemble requirements are identified, prepared, assembled and function tested.
  2. User maintenance on respirator and ensemble are conducted.
  3. Faulty equipment is rejected and/or reported.

Plan and prepare for combat arms tasks

  1. Equipment is used to meet operational tasking and workplace requirements.
  2. Authorised CBRN drills are used to detect threats/hazards, carry out decontamination hazard reduction measures and to prepare and utilise equipment to meet changes in the operating environment, changes in threat, detection of hazards and the occurrence of an CBRN incident.
  3. Confirmatory function testing of equipment is conducted periodically during operations.
Equipment is used to meet operational tasking and workplace requirements.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to:

identify, prepare, assemble and function test CBRN respirator and ensemble

use CBRN respirator and ensemble to meet operational tasking and workplace requirements

use authorised CBRN drills to detect threats/hazards, carry out decontamination hazard reduction measures and to prepare and utilise equipment to meet changes in the operating environment, changes in threat, detection of hazards and the occurrence of an CBRN incident

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over time and across a range of simulated or actual workplace situations and is to include exposure to CS gas or a simular non-lethal chemical agent.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment.

Specific resources for assessment

Access is required to:

organisational CBRN publications

organisational CBRN workplace operating procedures

authorised CBRN drills

task specific CBRN equipment

Required Skills and Knowledge

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Required Skills
