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 the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and must include the ability to:

select appropriate measuring device

check equipment is within calibration

take accurate measurements

check accuracy of own work and complete workplace forms

report routine problems and take corrective action, where appropriate.

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

basic units of measurement, such as

kilogram

metre

second

types and application of measuring devices, including range of results that may be obtained

the need for calibration

methods of checking equipment is within calibration

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

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.

Procedures

All operations must be performed in accordance with relevant procedures.

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

emergency procedures

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

Measuring equipment

Measuring equipment includes one or more of the following:

gauges

dip-sticks

thermometers

weighing scales

length/thickness measuring devices

Measurements

Measurements include one or more of the following:

extent

dimension

quantity

mass

capacity

capability

Routine problems

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

Routine problems include one or more of the following:

measuring instrument not fit for use (e.g. not within calibration)

appropriate measuring device not available

deviations from normal range of readings

effect of temperature on material properties

Corrective actions

Corrective actions include one or more of the following:

reporting to an appropriate person

taking action specified in the procedure

Appropriate personnel

Appropriate personnel includes one or more of the following:

supervisor

more senior operator

other designated personnel
