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

Required Skills and Knowledge

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions on at least two separate occasions and include:

applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (WHS/OHS) requirements and workplace procedures and practices, including using risk control measures

applying safe working practices to carbon dioxide (CO²) refrigerant safety data sheets (SDS)/material safety data sheets (MSDS)

applying safe working practices to safely handle and store CO² refrigerant cylinders

completing required documentation

dealing with unplanned events/situations in accordance with workplace procedures in a manner that minimises risk to personnel and equipment

participating in consultation processes, identifying hazards and implementing and monitoring control measures

preparing to enter the workplace, including the use of work permits and clearances and isolation permissions

taking remedial action within workplace emergency response procedures and job role.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions and include knowledge of:

benefits of using CO² as a refrigerant (R744)

CO² cylinder handling and storage requirements

CO² refrigerant properties
