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!

Range Statement

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Sustainability incorporates all of

survival of the ecology/physical environment (to manage the impact of the business to ensure the survival of the physical environment)

economic viability (efficiency, cost and waste reduction and competitiveness to support survival of the business)

social sustainability (to manage the impact of the business to ensure its continued survival within the community and the survival of the community).

Current operations include one or more of

production

maintenance

logistics and warehousing

administration and human resources

client/customer, contractor and supplier liaison and administration.

Sustainability strategy includes all of

scope

timeline

key performance indicators (KPIs)

budget.

Required changes include one or more of

new/modified metrics, where required

changes resulting from kaizen

data feeding into kaizen.

Convene periodic review process includes one or more of

a formal or informal meeting

a series of meetings

a virtual meeting/series of meetings

an electronic interchange

other form of interchange.

Sustainability issues of particular relevance include one or more of

particular sensitivities of the local ecology (e.g. endangered species, sensitive local flora/fauna, material scarcity, water availability)

general ecology issues and regulations (e.g. climate change and carbon footprint, pollution control measures)

particular local social issues (e.g. distortions to the housing market, disruption to local lifestyles)

general social issues (e.g. corporate citizenship, use or/deterioration to infrastructure)

particular local economic issues (e.g. cost of capital, profit margins, competition)

general economic issues (e.g. state of the economy, stage of the business cycle).

Sustainability impacts which cannot be prevented require mitigation and amelioration techniques which include one or more of

capture and storage (e.g. scrubbing) and similar ‘end of pipe’ solutions

dilution/dispersion and similar techniques which reduce concentration but not amount

other approaches which meet the sustainability requirements.
