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!

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

Prepare for a causal analysis

  1. Identify, obtain and assemble background documentation to collate all relevant facts and information that may guide and contribute to the causal analysis.
  2. Identify relevant personnel and request them to provide input to the causal analysis.
  3. Identify and assemble other relevant sources of information regarding injury causation.
  4. Identify, specify and prepare methods and tools to be used in the analysis.

  1. Review relevant information sources to determine contributing factors typically involved in causing injury.
  2. Observe activities and review if needed.
  3. Conduct interviews with relevant personnel.
  4. Review contexts in which the activities are commonly conducted.
  5. Analyse components and aspects of activities which appear to be associated with greater risk of injury in detail.
  6. Record data using organisational analytical tools in order to compile inputs to the analysis.
  7. Determine, validate and record final list of contributing factors involved in injury causation by cross referencing results from all causal analysis activities.
