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!

Stack, wrap and strap packs

  1. Set up stacking machine to produce specified pack sizes in line with work order.
  2. Build packs using materials of consistent type, size and thickness.
  3. Check bearers and protective strips for consistent thickness and damage.
  4. Place specified bearers, spacing sticks and protective strips squarely, evenly and consistently.
  5. Monitor stacked material for grade and quality; reprocess or dispose of unacceptable components.
  6. Stack packs to correct material count or dimension and check safety of stacking.
  7. Strap, wrap and label packs in line with organisational procedures.
  8. Avoid wastage of strapping and packaging materials and maximise use of recycled materials.
