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!

AHCCHM308 - Use application equipment to apply fumigant in confined spaces

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

Plan fumigation

  1. Determine the need for fumigation as an option for pest management strategy of the workplace
  2. Assess the facility and conditions for suitability of fumigation as a method to use
  3. Select method of fumigant and application equipment to suit type of pest, facility and material to be treated
  4. Identify and select fumigant to be used and its application rate according to chemical label
  5. Identify hazards, assess risks and implement control measures for fumigation in confined spaces
  6. Establish security measures to control access during fumigation and prescribed re-entry periods according to chemical label and workplace procedures
  7. Determine appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) according to fumigant safety requirements
