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

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 following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:

knowledge of rigging in an entertainment context

knowledge of regulations in relation to the licensing of riggers and the limitations on the type of work that can be undertaken by unlicensed personnel.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must ensure:

application of knowledge to specific technical production situations.

Method of assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

case studies and problem solving to assess application of knowledge to different technical situations

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of rigging techniques and safety issues

review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment of this unit requires access to:

Australian standards regarding rigging and scaffolding certification

rigging equipment and materials

venue where rigging is constructed.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

literacy skills sufficient to read instructions for safety equipment

numeracy skills sufficient to understand the equipment calculations associated with rigging

Required knowledge

the definition of rigging, different levels of rigging and its use in the entertainment industry

safety equipment and how this is used, including harnesses and fall arresters

hoists (different types) and why and how they are used in an entertainment context

the features of spansets and their uses in an entertainment context

trusses and correct and safe ways of using them

the importance of weights, loads and counterweights, and how these are calculated

shackles and other fittings and their uses in theatrical rigging

the regulatory limitations on the role of technical production personnel in relation to rigging, and the types of tasks which must be undertaken by a licensed rigger

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Rigging requirements may relate to one or more of the following:

audio

lighting

set construction

staging

vision systems

Licensed riggers may be:

contract labour

fellow employees

Rigging related tasks that may be undertaken by unlicensed personnel may include:

application of fibre and wire rope

assembling flying units

assembling truss

attachment of soft fittings

communication as applicable to flying operation

tying knots

use of shackles, trim chains, turnbuckles, screweyes

Rigging related tasks that may be undertaken by unlicensed personnel do not include work that involves hanging hoists, using of lifting equipment or slinging of spansets.
