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!

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include the ability to:

analyse and interpret schematics, technical information, performance data and operational practices

review project designs for safety and operability issues

communicate and negotiate effectively with internal and external stakeholders

clearly convey complex/technical information in writing

use language, structures and formats that are appropriate to information needs, the reader and organisation requirements.

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

plant equipment, its characteristics and limitations

impact of variations in plant/process and the distinctive signs of each variation

process chemistry, physics and biochemistry as relevant (e.g. to the extent of writing chemical equations and identifying factors controlling reaction rate and yield or equivalent, or determining mass or heat transfer rates for a process)

organisational operating procedures and training materials

safety review procedures and techniques (e.g. hazard and operability study (HAZOP))

systems operating parameters, system integrity limits, product specifications and tolerances

process control philosophies and strategies

principles of operation of plant/equipment

hierarchy of control

hazards that may arise in the job/work environment. and:

their possible causes

potential consequences

appropriate risk controls.

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.

Regulatory framework

The latest version of all legislation, regulations, industry codes of practice and Australian/international standards, or the version specified by the local regulatory authority, must be used, and include one or more of the following:

legislative requirements, including work health and safety (WHS)

industry codes of practice and guidelines

environmental regulations and guidelines

Australian and other standards

licence and certification requirements

All operations to which this unit applies are subject to stringent health, safety and environment (HSE) requirements, which may be imposed through state/territory or federal legislation, and these must not be compromised at any time. Where there is an apparent conflict between performance criteria and HSE requirements, the HSE requirements take precedence.

Hazards

Hazards include one or more of the following:

operability and related ergonomic issues

electricity

gases and liquids under pressure

structural hazards

equipment failures

industrial (machinery, equipment and product)

noise, rotational equipment or vibration

plant services (steam, condensate and cooling water)

limited head spaces or overhangs

working at heights, in restricted or confined spaces, or in environments subjected to heat, dusts or vapours

flammability and explosivity

hazardous products and materials

extreme weather

other hazards that might arise

Procedures

All operations must be performed in accordance with relevant procedures.

Procedures are written, verbal, visual, computer-based or in some other form, include one or more of the following:

emergency procedures

work instructions

standard operating procedures (SOPs)

safe work method statements (SWMS)

formulas/recipes

batch sheets

temporary instructions

any similar instructions provided for the smooth running of the plant
