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 by way of simulation or observation under incident conditions. 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 can include a variety of incident circumstances.

Simulations must, as closely as possible, approximate actual incident conditions and should be based on the actual facility. Assessments should include walk-throughs of the relevant competency components and may include the use of case studies/scenarios and role plays.

This unit of competency requires a significant body of knowledge which will be assessed through questioning and the use of 'what-if' scenarios both in the facility (during demonstration of normal operations and walk-throughs of abnormal operations) and off the site.

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 responsive action. T he emphasis should be on the ability to deal effectively with the incident or to contribute effectively to the recovery from the incident.

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

incident response planning is appropriate for the circumstances

containment strategies are developed for management of different types of incidents

understanding of the role of stakeholders and specialists at incidents is demonstrated

understanding of the structure and roles of on-site functions and personnel is demonstrated

information gathering, analysis and communication are conducted effectively

action plan development and evaluation meets organisational requirements

establishment of incident operations facilities meets organisational requirements

effective post-incident management planning is undertaken

evaluations of incident preparedness and response plans are successfully demonstrated

These assessment activities should include a range of problems, including new, unusual and improbable situations which may have been generated from past workplace incident history, incidents in similar workplaces around the world, hazard analysis activities and/or similar sources.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment will require (1) access to an accurately simulated environment or (2) a suitable method of gathering evidence of responding ability over a range of situations. A bank of scenarios/case studies/what-ifs and a bank of questions to probe the reasoning behind the observable actions will likewise be required.

Method of assessment

It may be appropriate to assess this unit concurrently with other relevant units.

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 within the incident response system and to be able to distinguish between causes of problems indicated by:

poorly formulated and developed incident preparedness plans

inaccurate or misleading site plans

lack of access to site information and recording systems

poor hazard identification and control practices

inaccurate evaluation of systems

inaccurate or misleading reports

lack of identified or established site facilities for incident management

inability to communicate effectively with people personally or through technical devices during incidents

ineffective of disorganised personnel and resources

poorly developed action plans

inappropriate or improper information analyses

inappropriate or ineffective decisions

inability to participate as a team member.

Required knowledge

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

incident response and disaster planning processes and techniques

relevant legislation and standards

equipment required for different types of equipment

incident resources and how to access them

different types of incidents and risks

hazard identification and control methods and procedures

risk management principles and techniques

structure, roles, capabilities and operational limitations of external resources and agencies

rescue techniques

intervention and control techniques for heating, fires and explosions

media policies and procedures

insurance policies and considerations

economic impact and considerations.

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

Incidents may include:

fire

explosion

gas or oil leak

accident

bomb threat

missing personnel

combination of the above

Management and operational systems to support incident preparedness and response include (but are not limited to):

evacuation

emergency operations structure

communications

information management

documentation and reporting requirements

resource management

training

audit and review system

financial management

post incident actions

External services may include (but are not limited to):

fire brigade

ambulance

medical services

local emergency management organisations

media

security services

solicitors

engineers

scientists

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.

Relationship to Major Hazard Facility Legislation

Organisations within the Chemical, Hydrocarbons and Oil Refining industries may find themselves falling under the provisions of various Major Hazard Facilities legislation. In developing this unit consideration has been given to the requirements of Sections 8 and 9 of the National Standard for the Control of Major Hazard Facilities [NOHSC:1014(2002)] and the National Code of Practice for the Control of Major Hazard Facilities [NOHSC:2016(1996)].

This unit will assist individuals to meet some of their obligations under the relevant State or Territory legislation. Responsibility for appropriate contextualisation and application of the unit to ensure compliance however, remains with the individual organisation.
