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!

3.1 Explain typical organisational controls to manage and control identified RF EMR hazards

3.2 Choose and apply appropriate RF EMR controls

3.3 Report EMR exposure that exceeds acceptable levels according to organisational work health and safety (WHS) requirements

Evidence of the ability to:

identify the effect of radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic radiation (EMR) on the human body

locate, interpret and apply relevant information, standards and specifications for working safely with RF EMR

identify organisational controls for exposure to RF EMR, including lock-out procedures and the use of personal protective equipment

identify risks and safety requirements and record in a job safety analysis (JSA) sheet or safe work method statement (SWMS) or similar record sheet

select and use appropriate processes, tools and equipment to minimise RF EMR risk

comply with regulations, standards and organisational procedures and processes

communicate and work effectively and safely with others.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

describe the characteristics of RF EMR and sources of RF EMR, and state their effect on the human body

describe the nature of work undertaken close to sources of RF EMR and identify the associated risks and hazards

identify and summarise the regulations and standards that govern the generation of RF and EMR

identify the relevant statutory and regulatory requirements relating to working safely with RF EMR

describe the organisational control processes for managing exposure to RF EMR.
