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!

liaising with external agencies

demonstrates completion of responding to site based spills that safely, effectively and efficiently meets all of the required outcomes on more than one (1) occasion including:

assessing the storage of chemicals on site and establishes activity to remedy storage issues

determining possible causes for spills and their impact on people, operations and environment

establishing communication with external agency throughout the spill providing them with the details of the spill size, type, location, activity and impact on people, operations and environment

applying and monitoring spill response activities that minimise impact on people, operations and environment

reviewing historical spill response activities and plan for improvements

preparing written reporting of spill response activities and resources used

The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of responding to site based spills through:

relevant licensing, legislative, regulatory and certification requirements

research, analyse and apply environmental operational information

risks and potential spills

spill type and effects to work area and others

chemical storage and their handling processes

protocols expected for working with external agencies

interpreting and communicating work instructions and processes

using effective communication skills, including questioning and active listening skills with supervisors and other employees
