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

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

Locate and apply safety information

Assess safety aspects of interior decoration and design solutions for a range of customers

Address risks and hazards in interior decoration and design

Complete a minimum of three risk assessments of interior decoration and design solutions 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 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:

workplace location or simulated workplace

materials and equipment relevant to determining OHS implications of interior effects

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

Required skills

collecting, organising and understanding information related to work orders, basic plans and safety procedures

communicating ideas and information to enable confirmation of safety and risk management requirements and specifications, coordination of the required work with site supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of safety outcomes and problems

working with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise safety management

using pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate possible hazards

recognising and responding to circumstances outside instructions or personal competence

planning and organising 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

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

clarifying and confirming work instructions

planning work within given task parameters

accepting responsibility for given tasks

setting, monitoring and satisfying personal work goals

satisfying the competency requirements for the job

maintaining current knowledge of workplace safety standards and instructions

seeking learning opportunities

using the workplace technology related to the risk management including tools, equipment, calculators and measuring devices

Required knowledge

common interior decoration and design related hazards and the range of commonly applied treatments

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.

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 of individuals and organisations

may include but not be limited to complying, as far possible, with all activities carried out in accordance with the standard and reporting anything that might affect compliance with the standard

Hierarchy of control

may include but not be limited 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; and the use of personal protective equipment by people at the workplace

Systematic approach

may include but not be limited to hazard identification, risk assessment, risk control, review

Legislative requirements

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)

components such as adhesives, nails, and staples

manual handling requirements

Effects

may include but not be limited to furniture, fixtures, finishes, accessories, soft furnishings, lighting and special effects

Hazards associated with effects

may include but not be limited to chemical properties such as toxicity, fumes, combustibility

physical properties such as strength, weakness, splintering, breakage, weight

components such as adhesives, nails, and staples

manual handling requirements

location and positioning considerations such as accessibility and obstruction, fixing and securing

placement of power sources and leads
