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

The assessment process must address all of the following items of evidence.

Ability to:

1. Access workplace information such as the cleaning schedule to identify cleaning requirements

Range Statement

The range statement indicates the context for demonstrating competence. This statement is a guide and unless otherwise indicated, items may or may not apply as required by the work context.

- Work is carried out in accordance with company policies and procedures, regulatory and licensing requirements, legislative requirements and industrial awards and agreements. When applied to the pharmaceutical industry, relevant GMP codes apply and reference to food safety is replaced by GMP

- Workplace information may include Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), specifications, production and cleaning schedules and instructions, signs and symbols, Materials Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), manufacturers' advice, standard forms and reports

- Dosing of cleaning chemicals may be automatically controlled or manually dosed

- Services may include power, water, steam, compressed and instrumentation air

- Where tests are conducted as part of operation a typical requirement is measurement of pH

- Monitoring the process is dependent on the nature of equipment. Examples of monitoring include chemical strength, cycle time, temperatures, time, storage tank levels and condensate quality

- Operation and monitoring of equipment and processes typically requires the use of control panels and systems
