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

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to handle and store bulk fluids and gases.

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

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both. Where assessment occurs off the job, i.e. the candidate is not in productive work, an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.

This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with handling and storage bulk fluids and gases or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.

Method of assessment

Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.

Guidance information for assessment

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Look for evidence that confirms skills in:

reading, interpreting and following handling and storage instructions, labels, colour codes, signage and terminology

calculating quantities

communicating with users of the materials and appropriately qualified and authorised authority

orally reporting routine information

checking and clarifying task-related information

applying appropriate Materials Safety Data Sheet

selecting personal protective clothing and equipment

filling/emptying applicable containers

storing and handling bulk fluids/gases

entering routine and familiar information onto labels, proformas and standard workplace forms

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of:

OH&S and dangerous goods acts and regulations, transport of dangerous goods code, and industry codes of practice and standards relevant legislative requirements

organisation's emergency response plan

procedures for filling and emptying storage containers

packaging requirements for dangerous goods

personal protective clothing and equipment for various substances

cleaning requirements for storage containers

relevant hazards and control measures related to the competency

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.

Material properties

Gas, solid, liquid

Material properties are determined from material safety data sheet, dangerous goods code, manifest or register

Safety and emergency procedures

Emergency procedures are determined by organisational emergency response plan, and advice may be sought from appropriately qualified and/or authorised personnel

Legislation, regulations and codes of practice

Relevant jurisdictions OH&S and dangerous goods acts and regulations, transport of dangerous goods code, and industry codes of practice and standards

Storage conditions

Separation and segregation to legislative requirement and dangerous goods code
