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!

TLID107C - Shift materials safely using manual handling methods

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

Assess risks arising from the relocation of the load

  1. Products, goods or materials to be relocated are identified
  2. Locations for storage are determined and potential routes to be followed are identified
  3. Effect of load relocation on original load base is predicted
  4. Points of balance are estimated
  5. Required clearances are compared to available space and adjustments made
  6. Effects of moving contents which may be loose, liquid, dangerous or hazardous are considered
  7. Potential risks in route(s) which may be followed are considered
  8. Risks to self are identified arising from the required lifting, load carrying, set down or movement of the goods
  9. Manual handling procedures for lifting, lowering and carrying, pushing and pulling are identified
  10. Team lifting processes are considered for application
  11. Appropriate personal protective equipment is worn
Products, goods or materials to be relocated are identified

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required knowledge and skills, the range statement and the assessment guidelines for this Training Package.

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

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria of this unit and include demonstration of applying:

the underpinning knowledge and skills

relevant legislation and workplace procedures

other relevant aspects of the range statement

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Performance is demonstrated consistently over a period of time and in a suitable range of contexts

Resources for assessment include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and other simulated practical and knowledge assessment, and/or
