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!

determine compound specifications

identify project stakeholders and constraints

plan the development, testing and trialling of the compound

develop appropriate mixing procedures and conditions

draft initial formulation and mixing procedures

produce laboratory trial of compound, evaluate conformance to specifications and make modifications to formulation and procedure as required

monitor factory trial of compound, evaluate formulation and procedure and make modifications as required

develop formulae for a range of compounds, including:

meeting different types of specifications

using different components and component amounts

communicate technical information verbally and in writing

communicate at all levels about technical issues and bring agreement as to requirements from the different parties

ensure final formulation and procedures are documented and resources are available for implementation

calculate proportions, product formulae and process conditions.

Must provide evidence that demonstrates knowledge relevant to their job sufficient to fulfil their job role, including knowledge of:

compound components that could be used to meet specifications and:

the properties each would bring to the compound

the relative advantages and disadvantages of each

the change in compound properties with changing amounts of each component

impact of different mixing methods, order of addition and mixing conditions on the compound

types and application of tests relevant to the compound

factors which may affect product quality or production output and appropriate remedies

organisation procedures relevant to the work environment/job role

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.

Applicable legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice include:

health, safety and environmental (HSE) legislation, regulations and codes of practice relevant to the workplace, materials and processes being used and products being made

Australian/international standards relevant to the materials being used and products being made

any relevant licence and certification requirements.

All operations to which this unit applies are subject to stringent 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 such requirements the legislative requirements take precedence.

Procedures

All operations must be performed in accordance with relevant procedures.

Procedures are written, verbal, visual, computer-based or in some other form, and include one or any combination of:

test procedures

technical specifications

technical drawings

emergency procedures

work instructions

standard operating procedures (SOPs)

safe work method statements (SWMS)

formulae/recipes

batch sheets

temporary instructions

any similar instructions provided for the smooth running of the plant.
