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:

prepare for the application of workplace radio frequency emission safety procedures/plans

implement radio frequency radiation safety procedures/plans

maintain workplace radio frequency radiation safety documentation

apply knowledge of relevant work health and safety legislative frameworks and Australian standards

identify inspection tools and methods appropriate to the workplace

apply principles and practices of work health and safety and Australian standards

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 applying radio frequency radiation safety procedures in an actual or simulated workplace. A record of all relevant research and interviews should be submitted as evidence for assessment.

Specific resources for assessment

Access to relevant research material, manufacturers’ equipment specifications and existing related standards, policy and instructions.
