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 this training package.

Overview of assessment

A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment.

Assessors must be satisfied that the person can consistently perform the unit as a whole, as defined by the Elements, Performance Criteria and skills and knowledge.

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

It is essential that competence is demonstrated in the knowledge and skills defined in this unit. These may include the ability to:

identify critical issues in relation to waste disposal

plan own work process within workplace procedures and explain the reasons for the steps in the process

take appropriate action to observe equipment, materials and products for atypical waste issues and take appropriate action.

Consistent performance should be demonstrated. For example, look to see that:

waste disposal standards are met consistently

problems are anticipated from observations

problems are efficiently resolved.

Assessment method and context

Assessment will occur using industrial scenarios and will be undertaken in a work-like environment.

Competence in this unit may be assessed:

on an operating plant allowing for operation under all normal and a range of abnormal conditions

in a situation allowing the generation of evidence of the ability to respond to problems

by use of a suitable simulation and/or a range of case studies/scenarios

by a combination of these techniques.

In all cases it is expected that practical assessment will be combined with targeted questioning to assess the underpinning knowledge and theoretical assessment will be combined with appropriate practical/simulation or similar assessment. Assessors need to be aware of any cultural issues that may affect responses to questions.

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.

Specific resources for assessment

This section should be read in conjunction with the Range Statement for this unit of competency. Resources required include suitable access to an operating plant or equipment that allows for appropriate and realistic simulation. A bank of case studies/scenarios and questions will also be required to the extent that they form part of the assessment method. Questioning may take place either in the workplace, or in an adjacent, quiet facility such as an office or lunchroom. No other special resources are required.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.

Required Skills and Knowledge

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

Application of knowledge of the materials, equipment and process sufficient to recognise conditions which may lead to waste disposal issues.

Knowledge of organization procedures and relevant regulatory requirements along with the ability to implement them within appropriate time constraints and work standards.

Competence includes the ability for the practical completion of the job to apply and/or explain:

human resource practices which encourage and support staff

dispute resolution procedures

operation of waste systems and equipment

correct selection and use of waste retrieval equipment, materials, processes and procedures

hazards of the materials and process and appropriate hazard control procedures

relevant procedures relating to safe working practices prescribed for the materials

local OHS legislation and/or regulations

site-specific instructions based on production requirements.

Competence also requires the ability to distinguish between causes of faults such as:

failure to pick up or dispose of waste according to the agreed process or timing

poor work practices.

Language, literacy and numeracy requirements

This unit requires the ability to read and interpret typical product and waste disposal schedules.

Writing is required to the level of writing workplace procedures and drafting reporting forms.

Basic numeracy is also required, eg to use waste recording system.

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

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

Context

This competency applies to all work environments and sectors within the plastics, rubber and cablemaking industry.

Procedures

All operations are performed in accordance with procedures.

Procedures include all relevant workplace procedures, work instructions, temporary instructions and relevant industry and government codes and standards.

Tools and equipment

This competency includes use of waste management records.

Hazards

Typical hazards include:

spills

dusts/vapours

hazardous materials

manual handling hazards.

Problems

'Anticipate and solve problems' means resolve a wide range of routine and non-routine problems, using product and process knowledge to develop solutions to problems which do not have a known solution/a solution recorded in the procedures.

Typical process and product problems may include:

atypical waste production situations

hold-ups in waste removal

environmental queries

waste removal systems not working.

Variables

Key variables to be monitored include:

amount and type of waste to be disposed of

numbers of personnel to be employed in the process and where

nature and type of the waste management process

types of records to be kept or documentation to be provided

activities of waste collection employees

variations to and changes to waste management systems

waste management issues.
