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!

SISOEQU010 - Identify hazards, assess and control safety risks for horse handling and riding activities

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

Identify hazards for horse handling or riding activities.

  1. Use hazard identification and risk assessment templates, independently or with other personnel to complete assessments.
  2. Use a range of methods to identify current and foreseeable hazards with potential to harm health and safety of anyone involved in or present during activities.
  3. Identify man-made or environmental obstacles and hazards in areas where horse handling or riding activities are scheduled.
  4. Gather and interpret weather and environmental information to ascertain impacts on handling or riding conditions.
  5. Identify hazards, including biosecurity issues, associated with handling or riding horses for program activities.
  6. Identify features of and potential hazards for tack and all other equipment to be used.
  7. Record identified hazards according to organisational procedures and legal requirements.
Use hazard identification and risk assessment templates, independently or with other personnel to complete assessments.

  1. Use organisational templates designed to match horses to handlers or riders.
  2. Identify handler or rider characteristics and level of horse handling or riding skills.
  3. Identify known behaviour and education level of horses available for the activity and consider potential hazards.
  4. Assess and select horses of suitable history, size and temperament to match handler or rider characteristics and skill level.
  5. Assess handler or rider’s own horse, when self-provided, and ensure horse and handler or rider combination is safely matched.
  6. Maintain records of assessments according to organisational procedures.
