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!

PUADEFDV016B - Perform underwater rigging work

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Prepare for underwater rigging operation

  1. Load metrics and worksite data are determined and analysed to determine the specific requirements for rigginggear
  2. Work plan is developed consistent with the dive plan
  3. Rigging gear is selected, inspected and prepared
  4. Rigging gear is secured safely to/from the dive site
  5. Access obstructions and other hazards are assessed and action is taken to remove/reduce the risk

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to attend to personal and collective safety; and to consider the environmental impact as part of the dive plan.

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated during a physical rigging and lifting operation where the diver conducts the following lifts with mechanical devices:

1 x vertical lift to surface:

lift distance – at least 5 metres (object must breach surface)

depth – between 5 to 20 metres

weight – at least 250 k

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in the ocean supported by questioning on shore or aboard vessels.

When practicable, assessment should relate to the diver’s vocational focus.

Specific resources for assessment

Access to a complete range of diving, safety and accessory equipment; and rigging equipment.

Guidance information for assessment

Information that will assist or guide assessment will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package.
