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!

Install and secure earth cable

  1. Maintain cable separations to meet performance requirements of application environment
  2. Check earth cable insulation is undamaged to ensure integrity of earth provided
  3. Connect the main protective earth (PE) cable to the nearest electrical switch board then isolate PE cable, beyond the main distribution frame (MDF) link bar from functional earth and telecommunication reference conductors (TRC) at all times to ensure operation according to industry standards
  4. Install and secure cable according to work health and safety (WHS) and environmental requirements, manufacturer specifications and industry standards
