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!

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

Check dangerous goods load

  1. Load is compared against transport documentation and discrepancies are noted
  2. Job hazards are identified and required action is taken to minimise, control or eliminate identified hazards
  3. Load is checked to ensure dangerous goods labels are clearly visible and legible, and packaged goods are correctly labelled
  4. Load is checked to ensure containers are not damaged
  5. Vehicle load is checked for compatibility or, where not compatible, is checked for appropriate segregation in accordance with regulatory requirements
  6. Load is assessed to ensure it is stowed and secured in or on vehicles in accordance with the current ADG Code and national Load Restraint Guide(LRG)
  7. Shipping documentation and other relevant documents are located in cabin in accordance with regulatory requirements
