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!

Plan and prepare for the application of laser safety procedures

  1. Notifications are received of activities that involve the use of lasers.
  2. Class of laser and the hazards inherent in its use are identified at the commencement of the planning phase.
  3. Applicable organisational policy and procedures related to laser operations are identified and implemented.
  4. Applicable laser hazard areas are identified and notified to those likely to encounter them.
  5. Personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements are established.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

Assessment must confirm the ability:

plan and prepare for the application of laser safety procedures

apply and monitor relevant laser safety measures are

maintain appropriate documentation.

apply knowledge of relevant work health safety legislative frameworks

identify inspection tools and methods appropriate to the workplace

apply principles and practices of work health and 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 conducting an actual or simulated workplace application of laser safety. A record of all relevant reports, interviews and tests should also be submitted as evidence for assessment.

Specific resources for assessment

Access to existing related policy and instructions.

Required Skills and Knowledge

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

Required Skills

access, read interpret and apply information relating to lasers

Required Knowledge

characteristics of lasers including the types of lasers and the fundamentals of laser operation
