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!

RIIUMM303D - Conduct hand held mining

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

Plan and prepare for hand held mining

  1. Access, interpret and apply hand held mining documentation and ensure the work activity is compliant
  2. Obtain, interpret, clarify and confirm work instructions
  3. Identify, address and report environmental issues, potential risks and hazards
  4. Select and wear appropriate personal protective equipment
  5. Wash down and visually inspect work area to ensure safe access
  6. Ensure work area is properly ventilated and free of dust and blasting fumes before entry
  7. Inspect and assess site conditions and determine if scaling is required and take action
  8. Identify, inspect and clearly mark all exposed butts and misfires
  9. Ensure that butts or remnants are made safe or report the occurrence
  10. Select, and check for faults, equipment/tools for the activity
  11. Identify if breakthrough with drill-steel may occur and take appropriate action
  12. Use approved dust suppression and extraction methods
  13. Obtain and interpret emergency procedures, and be prepared for fire/accident/emergency
