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!

SFIAQU213 - Use waders safely in aquatic environments

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

Prepare for safe use of waders

  1. Confirm environmental conditions, including water temperature and potential hazards that influence the selection of waders
  2. Select waders based on type of work, water temperature and environmental risks and hazards
  3. Check condition and fit of waders and adjust to ensure correct fit
  4. Dress in clothing appropriate for water temperature and environmental conditions, and fit safety equipment correctly
