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!

Conduct conformity assessment
|
|
Conformity assessment is carried out in accordance with WHS and other required procedures Completed |
Evidence:

Evidence:
|
Recommendations for remedial actions, if needed to address non-compliance safety issues, are included in the conformity assessment document |
|
Completed |
Evidence:
