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 include the ability to:

analyse information from a range of sources to determine environmental aspects/interactions of plant and/or processes and potential impacts

develop, evaluate and prioritise options for minimising impact

develop and document procedures to implement priority options

recycling and reusing

reducing amount of non-renewable resources used

reducing volume and/or concentration/intensity of pollutants made

reducing emissions

improving housekeeping (e.g. using a broom instead of a hose, and using old rags for cleaning instead of toxic cleaners or water)

substituting materials (e.g. replacing toxic solvent-based coatings with water-based ones)

changing processes (e.g. mechanical cleaning, and re-design of products/procedures so that materials are used more efficiently)

tenders for the provision of goods and services that specify environmentally preferred selection criteria
