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!

DEFMIL089 - Shift loads manually utilising non-motorised equipment

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

Plan and prepare to shift the load

  1. Select and wear personal protective equipment.
  2. Identify the type of load, safe working load and working load limits, and the distance and/or height to be moved from job instructions.
  3. Determine condition, length, bulk, weight, most appropriate method to shift the load and resources required.
  4. Record any damage to load and report to supervisor.
  5. Develop a movement plan to identify potential difficulties and request approval for the method of shifting the load and any requirement for additional personnel from the supervisor.
  6. Select and check for serviceability tools, load shifting equipment and other materials and report any defects to the supervisor.
  7. Prepare work site to ensure sufficient clear space is available.
