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!

PUADEFPH005A - Assist with field hygiene and sanitation

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

Conduct a minor field hygiene survey

  1. Group's local area of responsibility is clarified to establish the boundary for the survey
  2. General environment is inspected for its sanitary condition and areas of general hygiene risk to inform camp site selection
  3. Location, condition and suitability of field hygiene facilities is assessed
  4. Positioning, type and operation of field waste facilities are assessed
  5. Arrangements for food /water storage and handling are assessed to ensure safety of food/water distribution is optimised

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to:

liaise and communicate with the group

accurately identify hygiene risks

provide accurate advice.

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over a minimum of two assessment occasions in an urban and a field environment.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in an actual workplace situation. This may be in an urban or a field setting.

Specific resources for assessment

Access is required to:

appropriate equipment and stores

range of environments (urban and field)

relevant organisational policies and procedures.

Required Skills and Knowledge
