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 demonstrate the ability to:

recognise and control hazards

monitor key variables as relevant to the equipment, including one or more of:

equipment production outputs

equipment operating conditions

recognise deviations and/or abnormal operating conditions and take specified action/alert the appropriate individuals

identify routine problems and report or take corrective action, where appropriate.

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

hazards and hazard controls specific to the work area

correct methods of operating and controlling the equipment

process parameters, limits and alarms (e.g. temperature, pressure, flow and pH) to the extent relevant to operating this equipment

routine problems that may arise in the job/work environment and corrective action appropriate to the problem cause.

Range Statement

other hazards that might arise

Hazard controls

Hazard controls include one or more of the following:

use of personal protective equipment (PPE)

ensuring equipment is in safe condition

reporting potential hazards to appropriate personnel

Routine problems

Routine problems must be reported and corrective action taken according to relevant procedures.
