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, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the relevant Training Package.

Overview of assessment

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

Comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for risk management in a furniture design work environment

Locate and apply safety information

Assess safety aspects of furniture designs for a range of customers

Address risks and hazards in furniture designs

To complete a minimum of three risk assessments of furniture designs including the determination of required treatments

Work effectively with others

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or simulated workplace

Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements

The following resources should be made available:

workplace location or simulated workplace

materials and equipment relevant to establishing and maintaining a safe furnishing technology work environment

specifications and work instructions

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Furnishing Industry Training Package

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application

Assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency

Guidance information for assessment

Required Skills and Knowledge

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Required skills

use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate possible hazards

recognise and respond to circumstances outside instructions or personal competence

plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of treatment equipment and materials to avoid any back tracking, work flow interruptions or wastage

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate other material requirements for the management of workplace safety

clarify and confirm work instructions

plan work within given task parameters

accept responsibility for given tasks

set, monitor and satisfy personal work goals

appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation and measurement

procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information.

Range Statement

The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording in the Performance Criteria is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.

Duty of care

duty of care requires everything 'reasonably practicable' to be done to protect the health and safety of others at the workplace. This duty is placed on:

all employers

their employees

any others who have an influence on the hazards in a workplace

Responsibilities

include complying, as far possible, with all activities carried out in accordance with the standard

reporting anything that might affect compliance with the standard

Hierarchy of control

refers to the range of feasible options for managing the risk to health and safety. The hierarchy normally ranges over the following controls:

elimination of the hazard

its substitution with a less harmful version

its redesign

engineering controls

isolation of the hazard from people at the workplace

safe work practices

redesigning work systems

the use of personal protective equipment by people at the workplace

Systematic approach

includes hazard identification, risk assessment, risk control and review

Legislative requirements

are to be in accordance with applicable legislation from all levels of government that affect organisational operation. Requirements may include but not be limited to award and enterprise agreements, industrial relations, Australian Standards, confidentiality and privacy, OHS, the environment, equal opportunity, anti-discrimination, relevant industry codes of practice, duty of care and heritage

OHS requirements

are to be in accordance with Commonwealth, State or Territory legislation and regulations, organisational safety policies and procedures

requirements may include but not be limited to the use of personal protective equipment and clothing, fire fighting equipment, First Aid equipment, hazard and risk control and elimination, control of hazardous materials and substances, manual handling including lifting and carrying

Organisational requirements

may include but not be limited to legal, organisational and site guidelines, policies and procedures relating to own role and responsibility, quality assurance, procedural manuals, quality and continuous improvement processes and standards, OHS, emergency and evacuation, ethical standards, recording and reporting, access and equity principles and practices, equipment use, maintenance and storage, environmental management (waste disposal, recycling and re-use guidelines)

Hazards associated with production

may include but not be limited to manual handling, finishing and production processes, use of tools and machinery, dust inhalation, power sources and leads, flying debris, fume inhalation, trips, falls, lack of control during pouring, machine safety and vibration (direct and indirect consequences)

Range of customers

may include but not be limited to aged and the elderly, people with disabilities, children and adults

Potential hazards for users

may include but not be limited to allergies to materials, injury from materials or components, injury due to design faults, lack of stability, breakage and difficult to handle or install
