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!

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and must include the ability to:

find out resources used in own job, including one or more of:

making simple measurements, consistent with the job

counting the number of items entering/leaving a work area

reading indicators in the work area

obtaining relevant information from support personnel

follow environmental policies and identify potential breaches of environmental regulations

suggest improvements within the limit of own authority.

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

a basic understanding of:

sustainability

the contribution to climate change and other macro threats that can arise from materials and work processes used

the environmental hazards/risks, resource use and inefficiencies associated with own workplace and job

the relevant environmental and resource efficiency policies and procedures for own work area

the impact of laws and regulations at a level relevant to the work context.

Range Statement

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Regulatory framework

The latest version of all legislation, regulations, industry codes of practice and Australian/international standards, or the version specified by the local regulatory authority, must be used, and include one or more of the following:

legislative requirements, including work health and safety (WHS)

Procedures are written, verbal, visual, computer-based or in some other form, and include one or more of the following:

work instructions

standard operating procedures (SOPs)

safe work method statements (SWMS)

formulas/recipes

batch sheets

temporary instructions

any similar instructions provided for the smooth running of the plant

Environmental and resource efficiency issues

Environmental and resource efficiency issues include minimisation of environmental risks and maximisation of opportunities to improve business environmental performance and to promote more efficient production and consumption of natural resources. They include one or more of the following:

minimisation of waste through implementation of the waste management hierarchy

contribution to climate change and other macro threats that can arise from materials and work processes used

efficient and effective use of energy and other resources

seeking alternative sources of energy

efficient use of materials and appropriate disposal of waste

use of controls to minimise the risk of environmental damage from hazardous substances

efficient water use

reducing emissions

life cycle analysis applied to issues, such as energy supply, materials, transport and production
