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 Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

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

Evidence of the ability to:

demonstrate cleaning, delivery of materials, equipment, artwork, information, used plates and film and chemical and liquid waste handling (if relevant to the workplace) according to the listed Performance Criteria

evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment

a production environment.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

OHS in relation to operating machinery such as safely switching off machinery before cleaning is started

communication of ideas and information by suppling materials when needed and conveying information between production workers and stores people

collecting, analysing and organising information by accessing and using MSDSs; using basic inventory procedures

planning and organising activities by confirming and organising tasks

teamwork when working with others to ensure that correct consumables and materials are available when needed

mathematical ideas and techniques by calculating dilution factors for cleaning materials/chemicals to ensure correct and safe handling; calculating weights of materials to ensure safe handling

problem-solving skills by applying the correct procedure for dealing with spilt chemicals

use of technology by using manual handling equipment to move supplies

Required knowledge

personal safety equipment that may be required to perform cleaning duties

OHS concerns related to the use of cleaning chemicals
