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!

Report outcomes to designated person

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

analyse schematics and other sources of information to identify actual and/or potential hazards and recognise conditions that might lead to operability issues

utilise key words in the identification of potential hazards or operability issues

identify possible consequences and asses risks from identified potential hazards and operability issues

recommend possible solutions

complete actions delegated from the HAZOP

communicate effectively with multi-disciplinary stakeholders.

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

the architecture and location of the process/production equipment

specific plant process operations

interactions between plant items/processes

product specifications and tolerances

systems operating parameters

system integrity limits

process control philosophies and strategies
