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.

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 inspecting timber flooring

Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage to goods, equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

Inspect and correctly report on two timber floors where one requires invasive inspection techniques

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

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

realistic inspection requirements

a client/simulated client

workplace location or simulated workplace

materials and equipment relevant to inspection and presentation of findings

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

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

collect, organise and understand information related to work orders, basic plans and safety procedures

communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of inspection requirements and specifications, coordination of work with other workers and customers, and the reporting of inspection outcomes and problems

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to facilitate and ease inspections

use pre-checking and checking techniques to anticipate inspection problems to avoid re-work and wastage

apply cause and effect analytical tools in floor inspection

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 information, 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 confirm inspections findings

clarify and confirm work instructions

plan work within given task parameters

accept responsibility for given tasks

set, monitor and satisfy personal work goals

satisfy the competency requirements for the job

maintain current knowledge of:

tools and materials

timber flooring techniques

seek learning opportunities

use the workplace technology related to the timber flooring inspections including computers, tools, equipment, calculators and measuring devices.

Required knowledge

State or Territory OHS legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to the inspection of timber floors

organisational and site standards, requirements, policies and procedures for the inspection of timber floor

legal prerogatives and responsibilities for invasive inspection techniques and effects

commonly experienced:

finishing faults and repair/restoration options

structural faults and repair/restoration options

material faults and repair/restoration options

sub-floor faults and repair/restoration options

environmental protection requirements

established communication channels and protocols

problem identification and resolution

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, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. 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) may also be included.

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)

Invasive inspection techniques

are those which require significant removal of coatings and materials and where restoration is required, regardless of the inspection finding

Finishing faults

may include contaminated coating (dust, foreign objects), coating rejection, incorrect coating, swirl marks, scratches, drum marks, waves, taper tracks, striations, rippers, chatter marks and edgebonding

Structural faults

may include splits, cracks, broken boards, failed fixings and incorrect board size

Materials faults

may include warp, wane, curvature, shakes, insect defects, knots and resin pockets

Sub-floor faults

may include incorrect levels, soundness and moisture
