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, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

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.

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

It is essential that the equipment and process material needs be understood and that the importance of critical material properties is known. Competence must be demonstrated in the ability to recognise and analyse potential situations requiring action and then in implementing appropriate corrective action.

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

all pre-start checks are completed

appropriate paths for movement of vehicles/equipment are used

all actions are performed safely

problems are identified and appropriate action is taken (the problem is fixed or reported)

the correct material is delivered to the correct place in the correct amounts and at the correct time.

Competence must be demonstrated in the operation of all ancillary equipment to the level required for this unit of competency.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment will require access to an operating plant over an extended period of time, or a suitable method of gathering evidence of operating ability over a range of situations.

Assessment will occur over a range of situations which will include disruptions to normal, smooth operation.

Simulation or case studies/scenarios may be required to allow for timely assessment of parts of this unit of competency. Simulation should be based on the actual plant and will include 'walk-throughs' of the relevant competency components. A bank of scenarios/case studies/what ifs and questions will be required to probe the reasoning behind observable actions.

Method of assessment

Individual enterprises may choose to add prerequisites and co-requisites relevant to their processes.

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Required skills include:

recognising potential problems and to take actions appropriate for those problems

implementing regulatory and vehicle requirements, the enterprise's standard and safe operating procedures and work instructions and relevant regulatory requirements, within appropriate time constraints and in a manner relevant to the operation of the equipment

reading and numeracy to interpret workplace documents and technical information

Required knowledge

Required knowledge includes:

the determination of mass/weight of loads

stacking and/or storing practices

observation of all state and regulatory requirements

safe and efficient transfer of loads

distinguishing between:

types of materials being moved

locations and destinations of materials moved

causes of defects and faults

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. 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) may also be included.

Procedures

All operations are performed in accordance with standard procedures and work instructions

Variations

This unit may vary between enterprises depending upon:

type of equipment used such as:

scrapers and tractors

cleaning equipment and sweepers

front end loaders

hoists

pallet shifters

specialised loading equipment

type of materials moved

Typical problems

Typical problems may include:

equipment malfunctions

determining safe routes

scheduling of movements to suit production requirements

differing load shifting requirements

changing priorities over the shift

Paperwork

Paperwork may include:

electronic versions of instructions

records

Occupational health and safety (OHS)

All operations are subject to stringent OHS requirements and these must not be compromised at any time. Where there is an apparent conflict between performance criteria and OHS requirements, the OHS requirements take precedence
