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!

To demonstrate competency in this unit, a candidate must be able to provide evidence of the application of their knowledge of OHS:

in an actual or simulated workplace context involving relevant work processes

to their own health and safety within their work area

to that of others who may be affected by their actions

A candidate must also be able to provide evidence of participating in workplace OHS processes

Evidence gathered by an assessor to determine competence will include practical demonstration of competence, including:

workplace demonstration, simulation exercise, scenario or role play

Products that could be used as evidence include:

Verbal and written responses to verbal, pictorial, or physical scenarios

Demonstrated action to scenarios, simulations, role plays

Completed hazard or incident reports, completed workplace inspection checklists

Reports from work group members, supervisor

Processes that could be used as evidence include:

How contributions were made to consultative processes

How hazard inspections were carried out

Access and equity considerations:

All workers should develop their ability to work in a culturally diverse environment

In recognition of particular health issues facing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, workers should be aware of cultural, historical and current issues impacting on health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
