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!

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.

Regulatory framework

The latest version of all legislation, regulations, industry codes of practice and Australian/international standards, or the version specified by the local regulatory authority, must be used.

Applicable legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice include:

health, safety and environmental (HSE) legislation, regulations and codes of practice relevant to the workplace, manual handling and hazardous materials

Australian/international standards relevant to the materials being used and products being made

any relevant licence and certification requirements.

All operations to which this unit applies are subject to stringent HSE requirements, which may be imposed through state/territory or federal legislation, and these must not be compromised at any time. Where there is an apparent conflict between performance criteria and such requirements the legislative requirements take precedence.

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 any combination of:

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.

Tools and equipment

Tools and equipment include one or more of:

hand carts and trolleys

hoists/lifting equipment not requiring any special permits or licences

basic hand tools

relevant personal protective equipment (PPE).

Hazards

Hazards must be identified and controlled. Identifying hazards requires consideration of:

fumes/vapours

weight, shape, volume of materials to be handled

stacking/storage of materials

hazardous products and materials

rotational equipment or vibration

sharp edges, protrusions or obstructions

slippery surfaces, spills or leaks

smoke, dust or other atmospheric hazards

structural hazards

equipment failures

mobile equipment

machinery, equipment and product mass

other hazards that might arise.

Problems

Routine problems must be resolved by applying known solutions.

Routine problems are predictable and include one or more of:

getting in the way of mobile equipment

contamination of materials

foreign matter being included in selected waste

waste materials mixed with recyclables/re-usables

incompatible waste materials placed together.

Known solutions are drawn from one or more of:

procedures
