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, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Assessment for this unit of competency will be in a simulated environment. The unit will be assessed in as holistic a manner as is practical and may be integrated with the assessment of other relevant units of competency. Assessment will occur over a range of situations which will include disruptions to normal and planned operation.

Simulation should be based on survival craft and launching systems relevant to the particular facility/installation and will include walk-throughs of the relevant competency components. Simulations may also include the use of case studies/scenarios, role plays and 3D virtual reality interactive systems.

This unit of competency requires an application of the knowledge contained in the use of survival craft and their integral equipment, to the level needed to maintain control and recognise and resolve problems. This can be assessed through questioning and the use of what-if scenarios both on the plant (during demonstration of normal operations and walk-throughs of abnormal operations) and off the plant.

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

Competence must be demonstrated in the ability to recognise and analyse potential situations requiring action and then in implementing appropriate corrective action. The emphasis should be on the ability to stay out of trouble rather than on recovery from a disaster.

Consistent performance should be demonstrated. In particular look to see that:

application of emergency response plans and procedures, evacuation procedures and alarms is in accordance with procedures

there is control and coordination of evacuation muster activities

safe and timely initiation of facility evacuation activities occurs

operation, including navigation and safe handling of emergency craft conforms to established emergency response.

These aspects may be best assessed using a range of scenarios/case studies/what-ifs as the stimulus with a walk through forming part of the response. These assessment activities should include a range of problems, including new, unusual and improbable situations which may have been generated from the past incident history of the plant, incidents on similar plants around the world, hazard analysis activities and similar sources.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment will require access to an operating TEMPSC which must be available and equipped for deployment. A bank of scenarios/case studies/what-ifs will be required as will a bank of questions which will be used to probe the reasoning behind the observable actions.

Method of assessment

In all facilities it may be appropriate to assess this unit concurrently with:

PMAOHS215B Apply offshore facility abandonment and sea survival procedures and practices.

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the oracy, language and literacy capacity of the assessee and the work being performed.

Required Skills and Knowledge

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Required skills

Competence includes the ability to isolate the causes of problems to an item of equipment within the emergency evacuation system and to distinguish between causes of problems/alarm/fault indications such as:

communications equipment problems

location beacon malfunctions

listing or other floatation difficulties

mechanical failures.

Required knowledge

The knowledge referred to in the Evidence Guide for this unit includes:

principles involved in the launching, handling and recovery of survival craft

factors needing to be taken into account during the operation of survival craft in all types of weather conditions

operation of all equipment normally contained within a survival craft.

emergency response plans and procedures

evacuation procedures and alarms

all items on a schematic of the facility or installation layout

safety equipment and survival craft locations (TEMPSC)

procedures for loss of command situations.

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. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.

Codes of practice/ standards

Where reference is made to industry codes of practice, and/or Australian/international standards, the latest version must be used.

Context

This unit of competency includes all such items of equipment and unit operations which form part of the evacuation procedure including:

totally enclosed motorised personnel survival craft (TEMPSCs)

launch and retrieval systems.

Typical problems for your installation may include:

a range of weather conditions

communication systems failures

malfunctioning equipment

unaccounted for personnel

launching difficulties.

Health, safety and environment (HSE)

All operations to which this unit applies are subject to stringent health, safety and environment requirements, which may be imposed through State or Federal legislation, and these must not be compromised at any time. Where there is an apparent conflict between Performance Criteria and HSE requirements, the HSE requirements take precedence.
