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!

PUADEFCM003B - Analyse causes and identify countermeasures for injuries in physical activities

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Prepare for a causal analysis

  1. Appropriate background documentation is identified, obtained and assembled to collate all relevant facts and information that may guide and contribute to the causal analysis
  2. Relevant personnel are identified and requested to provide input to the causal analysis
  3. Other relevant sources of information regarding injury causation are identified and assembled
  4. Methods and tools to be used in the analysis are identified, specified and prepared in accordance with organisational procedures and guidelines

Identify the contributing factors involved in causing injury

  1. Relevant information sources are reviewed to determine contributing factors typically involved in causing injury
  2. Activities are observed and/or reviewed
  3. Interviews are conducted with relevant personnel
  4. Contexts in which the activities are commonly conducted are reviewed
  5. Components and aspects of activities which appear to be associated with greater risk of injury are analysed in detail
  6. Data is recorded using organisational analytical tools in order to compile inputs to the analysis
  7. Final list of contributing factors involved in injury causation is determined, validated and recorded by cross-referencing results from all causal analysis activities

Recommend countermeasures

  1. Effective countermeasures are identified where possible, for each root cause of injury, from available information and subject matter experts
  2. Where no proven countermeasure can be identified, countermeasures are developed from first principles, in consultation with subject matter experts
  3. Written and oral causal analysis report, including details of recommended countermeasures, is prepared in accordance with organisational policy and procedures and is delivered to decision-makers for consideration

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to:

recognise limit of own authority

refer problems to supervisors

comply with organisational policies and procedures

critically analyse relevant sources of information using own underpinning knowledge and organisational analytical tools to determine the root causal factors

identify and develop options for preventative countermeasures which reduce risk, but are economically and practically viable and do not result in excessive reduction of activity benefits to the organisation

compile and report root cause analysis findings clearly and concisely in both a verbal and written form.

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over a range of scenarios to confirm consistency in performance.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment.

Specific resources for assessment

Access to:

real or scenario based injury producing activities

workplace in which causal analysis can be applied

background documentation/templates/tools

workplace health and safety guidelines

organisational policies and procedures

duty statements and/or job descriptions

personnel for interview and questioning.

Guidance information for assessment

Information that will assist or guide assessment will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package.
