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!

TLIA3008 - Transfer cargo

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

Prepare for load transfer

  1. Load characteristics are identified to determine special handling or equipment requirements
  2. Job hazards are identified and required action is taken to minimise, control or eliminate identified hazards
  3. Location of load in yard is confirmed and transfer method is determined
  4. Pathway for load transfer is established consistent with workplace procedures, and obstacles and particular safety precautions are noted
  5. Working area is prepared in accordance with national standards, safety codes and site operating procedures
  6. Personal protective equipment and other safety equipment is assembled
  7. Safe working load (SWL) or working load limit (WLL) is calculated using appropriate formulae for type of lifting equipment
  8. Lifting equipment is inspected, before it is used, to identify any manufacturing faults or damage, in accordance with manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures
  9. Unsafe equipment is isolated, marked as unsafe and reported to appropriate personnel
