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!

SISORSC002 - Perform vertical rescues

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

Determine rescue requirements and prepare for rescue.

  1. Assess situation, identify hazards promptly, assess risks and manage to avoid injury to self and others.
  2. Determine appropriate rescue methods and techniques for situation and according to needs of person to be rescued.
  3. Select equipment required for single rope rescues.
  4. Determine roles and responsibilities of others; complete a briefing and provide clear and concise instructions throughout rescue.
  5. Implement rescue operations according to organisational policies and procedures for emergency response.

Establish systems for vertical rescues.

  1. Determine need for use of mechanical advantage systems, identify and establish type appropriate for the rescue situation.
  2. Select and rig or establish multiple anchors, ensuring equalisation and minimise potential for shock loading.
  3. Promptly establish rescue systems required to raise and lower persons from a single pitch.
  4. Rig single rescue rope to minimise effects of rope stretch and rub points and for efficient descent and ascent during rescue.
  5. Establish belays suitable for rescue circumstance and to ensure personal safety during rescues.
  6. Verify manufacturers' recommendations, equipment limitations and safety margins, and rig equipment accordingly.

Descend and ascend a pitch using single rope techniques.

  1. Attach and adjust belay equipment to self and tie knots suitable for the established belay system.
  2. Descend and ascend a fixed rope efficiently, using and adjusting techniques suitable for circumstances.
  3. Safely approach, avoid or negotiate hazards to descend and ascend in a controlled manner.
  4. Utilise techniques and equipment to adjust the single rope rig.
  5. Choose optimum position and complete safe and efficient changeovers between descending and ascending.
  6. Use techniques that minimise damage to equipment and the surface during activities.
