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!

PUAFIR301B - Undertake community safety activities

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

Identify specific hazards through inspection

  1. Hazards are identified using the organisation's risk management procedures and process
  2. Specific hazards in area of responsibility that may impact on life, property, process or the environment are accurately identified and reported to the supervisor according to the organisation's procedures
  3. Inspections are conducted to provide for relevant information for pre-incident planning
  4. Community members and organisations are consulted where appropriate during the identification and/or inspection process

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.

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to:

identify the relationship between hazards and the risk posed to the community and the environment

evaluate risk against established organisational risk management guidelines in consultation with relevant community groups.

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over time in a range of actual or simulated workplace environments.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed on-the-job and in simulated workplace environments.

Specific resources for assessment

Access is required to:

organisational forms

appropriate equipment

Method of assessment

In a public safety environment assessment is usually conducted via direct observation in a training environment or in the workplace via subject matter supervision and/or mentoring, which is typically recorded in a competency workbook.

Assessment is completed using appropriately qualified assessors who select the most appropriate method of assessment.

Assessment may occur in an operational environment or in an agency-approved simulated work environment. Forms of assessment that are typically used include:

direct observation

interviewing the candidate

journals and workplace documentation

third party reports from supervisors

written or oral questions

Required Skills and Knowledge

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

Required Skills

analyse feedback

apply risk management guidelines to the organisation

communicate effectively verbally and in writing

complete forms

cooperate with community groups

identify at risk plant species, quantities and moisture content

identify building construction and materials

identify hazardous chemicals

Required Knowledge

building construction

community organisation contacts

evacuation procedures

hazardous chemicals

organisation risk identification guidelines

policies and procedures relating to hazard reduction, hazard isolation, hazard removal and hazard management

principles of fire behaviour and suppression

relevant AS/NZ risk management standards

relevant legislation

relevant technical information

risk management principles specific to the organisation

work health and safety guidelines

Range Statement

Property may include:

buildings

infrastructure which provides for the movement of people, goods and services

Environment may include:

elements such as economics, commerce, culture and public safety service provisions that relate to how the community functions
