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!

  2. Precautions are undertaken to eliminate all ignition sources
  3. Specialised handling requirements for the particular gas are identified and relevant procedures are taken into account when planning the work
  4. Traffic flow, vehicle positioning and work area conditions are assessed to ensure safe operation and no injury to people, or damage to equipment, loads or facilities
  5. Characteristics of the gas, transfer and holding method are taken into account when evaluating procedural requirements, special precautions for method, equipment and, where applicable, appropriate attachments to transfer the load
  6. Any potential occurrences in the work area that may affect the safety and efficiency of operations are reported to the appropriate personnel
  7. Gas transfer is planned, taking into account the requirements of the load, transfer method, storage facility and transport mode, load weight, volume and viscosity and the capacity of the equipment
  8. Load is checked prior to and at the completion of transfer to ensure ullage and/or maximum permitted capacity complies with ADG Code
  9. Adjustments are made to process to accommodate special requirements such as temperature control, combustion, etc.
  10. Required personal protective equipment, signage, barriers and special precautions are identified in the plan and utilised
  11. Procedures to deal with leakages and ruptures are identified
