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

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to:

measure and analyse workplace noise

develop noise management plans that adhere to Australian and organisational standards and recognise stakeholder requirements

apply knowledge of relevant work health and safety legislative frameworks

identify inspection tools and methods appropriate to the workplace

apply principles and practices of work health safety

identify intervention points for advice to assist in work and to guide problem solving

Consistency in performance

Evidence for competency in this unit must be gathered over time and across a range of workplace or simulated situations.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in the workplace or under conditions that accurately simulate a realistic workplace in accordance with all relevant legislation and organisation requirements.

Evidence should be gathered while observing the individual developing the noise management plans. A record of all relevant research and interviews should also be submitted as evidence for assessment.

Specific resources for assessment

Access to relevant legislation, research material, manufacturers’ equipment specifications, existing related standards, policy and instructions, and work areas within the area of responsibility.

Required Skills and Knowledge
