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!

AHCLSK413A - Design livestock handling facilities

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

Determine requirements

  1. Requirements for livestock handling facilities are assessed and clarified according to enterprise objectives.
  2. Cost structures and timelines are negotiated and confirmed within enterprise budgetary constraints.
  3. Plans are obtained for livestock handling facilities from a variety of sources and are assessed in relation to enterprise requirements.

Undertake a site analysis

  1. Location of new or existing site is inspected and physical elements and features of the site are recorded for assessment of suitability.
  2. Surveys to be undertaken are specified and tolerances determined according to enterprise requirements.
  3. Site preparation requirements are assessed and determined according to enterprise policies and site parameters.

Prepare a design brief

  1. Plans are modified appropriate to the individual site and reflect enterprise objectives.
  2. Options to modify existing facilities or establish alternative handling operations are assessed and quotes obtained.
  3. Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) codes of practice and enterprise quality assurance requirements are identified and incorporated into the plan.
  4. Legal requirements and constraints on development processes are identified.
  5. Design brief is prepared and consultation is undertaken to establish agreement on options and approaches for development.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

Overview of assessment

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

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following:

assess the need for livestock handling facilities

determine the site and design the handling facility for the site

incorporate animal welfare requirements and movement principles into design

identify appropriate safe workplace procedures for livestock and personnel

estimate cost of building the designed facilities.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

evaluate and recommend alternative options

identify appropriate safe workplace procedures for livestock and personnel

regularly access industry information databases to maintain currency with industry developments

incorporate safety considerations in all aspects of design

develop sequenced written instructions, record accurately and legibly information collected and select and apply procedures to a range of tasks

use oral communication skills/language competence to fulfil the job role as specified by the organisation including questioning, active listening, asking for clarification, negotiating solutions and responding to a range of views

use numeracy skills to estimate, calculate and record routine and more complex workplace measures and data

use interpersonal skills to work with others and relate to people from a range of cultural, social and religious backgrounds and with a range of physical and mental abilities.

Required knowledge

livestock behaviour and design interactions

enterprise operations

costing alternatives

livestock handling and/or accommodation facilities and their uses

site analysis and issues

industry and legislative requirements for the planning and establishment of livestock handling facilities

OHS issues and legislative requirements

codes of practice with regard to environmental protection.

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole.

Livestock handling facilities may include:

fixed and portable yards

drafting gates

livestock dips

laneways

gates
