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!

MEM50004B - Maintain quality of environment by following marina codes

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Assess the environmental implications of the tasks to be conducted

  1. Tasks to be conducted are listed or work instructions are consulted to establish work requirements.
  2. Vessel to be maintained is visually inspected to establish any particular potential pollutants.
  3. Potential pollutants that may be produced as a result of the work are identified.

Select work area and method

  1. Possible work areas are identified for the work and selected to conform with marina/slipway codes and local environmental regulations and to minimise risk of pollution.
  2. Work method, equipment and materials are selected to minimise impact on the environment.
  3. Pollution control measures are identified and implemented.

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

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to control pollution through the assessment of potential for pollution, limitation, capture and disposal of pollutants in the marine environment and adherence to good practice codes of conduct. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.

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

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.

This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling associated with a marine environment, or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.

Method of assessment

Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.

Guidance information for assessment

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Look for evidence that confirms skills in:

identifying sources of potential pollution

minimising risks of pollution

containing pollution

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of:

identification of pollutants

procedures to minimise risk of pollution

procedures for containment of pollution

overview of applicable environmental legislation

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.

Pollutants

Any substance or emission which is deemed to be an undesirable contaminant including:

waste water including bilge/black/grey/storm/cleaning water

paint including fumes and overspray

anti fouling flakes or solution

sand or grit from blasting/cleaning

fuel or oil spills

discharges of emulsified oil

domestic waste

noise

smoke and fumes

Note that some of these pollutants contain heavy metals, various hydrocarbons/solvents and other toxicants

Marina

Buildings, wharves and surroundings where vessels are built, stored and maintained

Slipway

Areas where vessels are removed from the water for repair, maintenance or storage
