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!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

Overview of assessment

Successful assessment of this unit meets the competency requirement of the National Standard for Licensing Persons Performing High Risk Work.

State/territory OH&S regulators have mandated the use of Assessment Instruments and Instructions for Assessment for this unit which have been endorsed by the national body responsible for OH&S matters.

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

Compliance with OH&S licensing legislation.

Communicate and work safely with others in the work area.

Identify hazards associated with the operation of the forklift truck and put in place effective hazard controls for those hazards identified.

Conduct pre-start-up, operational, moving loads and shut down and secure checks of the forklift truck according to procedures.

Operate the forklift truck and move loads safely, including driving and manoeuvring, picking up and placing of loads at various stack heights.

Drive forklift truck with load in forward and reverse, maintaining visibility.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of the safe application of knowledge and skills to workplace tasks (performance) must be undertaken using the endorsed Assessment Instrument.

Assessment of performance must be undertaken either in the workplace or in a realistically simulated workplace setting.

Assessment must occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.

Applicants must have access to:

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for the purpose of the Performance Assessment

associated equipment appropriate to forklift truck operations

suitable loads as described by the endorsed Assessment Instrument

manufacturers specifications

appropriate forklift truck in a safe condition.

Method of assessment

Assessment must be conducted using the endorsed Assessment Instrument. These Instruments provide instruction on their application.

The use of 'simulators' in the assessment of this unit of competency is not acceptable.

Assessment may be in conjunction with the assessment of other units of competency.

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance together with application of underpinning knowledge.

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is not only able to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.

Guidance information for assessment

Further information about endorsed Assessment Instruments may be obtained from state/territory OH&S regulators.

Required Skills and Knowledge

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level required for this unit.

Required skills:

Accurately interpret information relating to conducting forklift truck operations (e.g. procedures)

Safely conduct forklift truck operations including all functions to the maximum height and load capacity

Identify hazards associated with the operation of the forklift truck, assess risks and put into place effective hazard prevention/control measures for those hazards identified

Use communication skills at a level sufficient to communicate with other site personnel (e.g. receive and interpret work instructions, safety information, emergency procedures)

Drive forklift with load in forward and reverse, maintaining visibility

Verify problems and equipment faults and demonstrate appropriate response procedures

Required knowledge:

Methodology of determining the weight of a load

Commonwealth, state or territory OH&S legislation, standards relevant to the safe operation for the forklift trucks

Understanding of forklift characteristics and capabilities (including use of load data plates)

Understanding of the hierarchy of hazard identification and control

Organisational and workplace standards, requirements, policies and procedures for conducting operations for the crane class

Procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information

Forklift truck operations and safe operating techniques

Typical routine problems encountered in the operation of the crane and equipment and adjustments required for correction
