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!

Ability to:

1. Confirm status of tipping process at start up

2. Select, fit and use personal protective clothing and/or equipment

3. Demonstrate manual and automatic modes of operation as appropriate to workplace equipment

4. Monitor tipping process to maintain a full carrier. This typically includes monitoring:

rate of tipping to maintain full carrier

bin and equipment condition

5. Identify faulty bins and/or equipment and arrange transfer for repair

6. Take corrective action in response to abnormal or unacceptable performance

7. Use appropriate communication methods and equipment. This includes 2-way radios

8. Complete tipping operation records and hand over tipping process

9. Maintain work area to meet housekeeping standards. This includes clearing cane spillages

May include the ability to:

10. Control yard movements

11. Conduct weighbridge operations

Knowledge of:

12. Relevant state OHS legislation, standards and industry codes of practice relating to work responsibilities

13. Safe work procedures including awareness of health and safety hazards related to tipping operation and associated control measures. Typical hazards include working with moving machinery - pinch points.

14. Functions and basic operating principles of tipping process and related control system and equipment components

15. The relationship between the tipping process and mill operation

16. Consequences of tipping contaminated cane

17. Typical faults in cane bins which affect haulage and tipping operations
