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

Assessment must be carried out in a manner that recognises the cultural and literacy requirements of the assessee and is appropriate to the work performed. Competence in this unit must be achieved in accordance with food safety standards and regulations

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

To demonstrate competence in this unit, a candidate must be able to provide evidence of contribution to OHS processes in the workplace. This includes:

addressing their own health and safety

addressing that of others who may be affected by their actions

supporting members of the workgroup who may be less experienced in the workplace in regard to OHS matters

taking some initiative to address hazards and manage risks at a systemic level

Evidence gathered by an assessor to determine competence will include practical demonstration of competence, including:

workplace demonstration, simulation exercise, scenario or role play

indirect evidence from workplace supervisor reports, workplace documentation, and written responses to problems, scenarios and case studies

Evidence of workplace performance over time must be obtained to inform a judgement of competence.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Products that could be used as evidence include:

verbal and written responses to verbal, pictorial or physical scenarios

demonstrated response to scenarios, simulations, role plays

completed hazard or incident reports, completed workplace inspection checklists

reports from workgroup members, supervisors

Processes that could be used as evidence include:

how workplace checks/inspections are carried out

how hazards are addressed

how mentoring of fellow workgroup members is undertaken

how incident investigations reports were completed

Access and equity considerations:

all assessment should be applied with respect torelevant work related access and equity issues

competence should reflect an ability to work in a culturally diverse environment

Method of assessment

This unit should be assessed together with other units of competency relevant to the function or work role.

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.

Hazard identification

Hazard identification is

the process of identifying sources of harm, and may be required:

before new forms of work and organisation of work are implemented

before changes are made to workplace, equipment, work processes or work arrangements

as part of planning major tasks or activities, such as equipment shutdowns

following an incident report

when new knowledge becomes available

at regular intervals during normal operations

prior to disposal of equipment, or materials

Hazards
