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!

TLID3047 - Shift loads using ship mounted crane

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

Plan work for current working conditions

  1. Crane movement areas are assessed to ensure they are clear of personnel and other obstructions and hazards
  2. Traffic flow and work area conditions in proximity of load landing area are assessed to ensure safety of personnel, and to ensure there is no damage to equipment, loads and facilities
  3. Load characteristics are taken into account to ensure appropriate attachments/gear are used to move load
  4. Hazards are identified, risks are assessed and control measures are implemented
  5. Occurrences in work area that may impact on safety and efficiency of operations are reported to appropriate personnel
