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!

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, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

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

Evidence of the ability to:

work effectively and professionally within organisation risk-management systems and objectives and comply with legislative requirements to undertake risk assessments that are appropriate for specific activities and locations

work within parameters of own job role and responsibilities to assess, select and where appropriate resource viable risk-treatment options; and develop and implement a risk-treatment plan consistent with organisation policies and procedures within required timeframes

document and monitor the risk-treatment plan and contribute to the review of processes and outcomes

access and clarify information to inform application of risk-analysis procedures.

Due to issues such as differences in risk associated with different client groups, different equipment, different locations and different environmental conditions, this unit of competency must be assessed through the analysis of risk associated with more than one activity (or one activity with different client groups and or in different locations) in order to ensure consistency of performance over the range statement and contexts applicable to risk analysis of activities.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

development and implementation of a risk-treatment plan for specific activities relevant to the individual’s current or intended work environment to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance.

Assessment must also ensure access to:

an environment or facility appropriate to the specific activity

support staff, locations and resources to implement risk-control measures

organisation policies and procedures related to risk analysis of activities

organisation reporting requirements.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

observation of applying organisational risk-analysis procedures to activities and locations

oral and or written questioning to assess the knowledge of risk-analysis techniques and evacuation skills in relation to risk-assessment methodologies

third-party reports from a supervisor detailing work performance over multiple applications

portfolio of records and reports documenting risk-treatment plans and outcomes.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

SISFFIT304A Instruct and monitor fitness programs

SISOODR303A Guide outdoor recreation sessions

SISXCAI303A Plan and conduct sport, and recreation sessions.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

problem-solving skills to:

identify and assess hazards, level of risk and treatment options

develop appropriate strategies to manage risks for an activity, within the parameters of the organisational risk-management plan

planning and organising skills to:

develop, implement and monitor a systematic risk-management plan for an activity

make changes in response to risk-management plan

literacy and numeracy skills to:

access and analyse required risk-assessment information

document a risk-management plan for a specific activity

communication skills to:

contribute to risk-management review

consult with relevant personnel to implement review recommendations.

Required knowledge

organisation risk-management procedures to enable risks associated with activities to be assessed and addressed so that activities can be undertaken safely

legislation and organisation policies and procedures to enable risk identification and assessment for relevant activities and identification of the legal responsibilities associated with risk-management

sport, fitness and recreation industry risk-management standards and best practice guidelines for selected activity to inform selection of risk treatment options

hierarchy of controls to enable the most appropriate and viable risk-treatment options to be applied to activities

hazards associated with specific activities and locations to enable effective risk-treatment options to be identified for the activity and location

risk-assessment principles and methodology

common risk-management terminology, such as risk, risk-management, hazard, risk analysis and risk-management plan

equipment design limits and effects of operating outside design limits

risk-evaluation criteria to enable level of risk to be assessed accurately.
