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!

Evidence:
|
Hazardous area classification drawings, process specifications and plant design documentation are reviewed and the scope of the required electrical installation determined |
|
Completed |
Evidence:
|
Explosion-protection requirements are determined from reviewing the standards to the installation is required to comply |
|
Completed |
Evidence:
|
Incorporate the explosion-protection requirements in electrical systems and installation design
|
|
Consideration is given to locating electrical equipment in non-hazardous areas, where possible Completed |
Evidence:
|
The installation is designed to maximise ease of access for inspection and maintenance |
|
Completed |
Evidence:
|
