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!

The candidate must be assessed on their ability to integrate and apply the performance requirements of this unit in a workplace setting. Performance must be demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts.

The candidate must provide evidence that they can:

conduct erosion and sediment control activities as instructed by a supervisor

identify hazards and follow safe operating procedures

identify erosion and sediment control structures, measures and practices

carry out routine work with control measures and structures

identify areas at risk of erosion

operate or use machinery tools and equipment required for the tasks involved safely and efficiently

The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:

the need for erosion and sediment control, including:

the cost of erosion and sedimentation to the community

the effect of loss of habitat

how water quality is affected

how soil erosion can cause loss of production, assets and amenities

re-occurring maintenance, repair and monitoring requirements for controls

agents and processes of erosion and sedimentation and ways to control them

types of erosion and sediment control structures and techniques for constructing them

role of vegetation in erosion control

basic catchment issues

characteristics of soils with an emphasis on erodible soils
