E
- Element
Each separate element within the unit of competency describes what a person should be able to do to achieve competency.
- Emergency Management Plan (EMP)
An EMP is based on a practical assessment of hazards associated with the work activity or workplace and the possible consequences of an incident occurring as a result of those hazards. External hazards may also affect the safety of the workplace, eg a chemical storage across the road. They too should be considered when preparing the EMP. The EMP should be appropriate to the size and complexity of the work site and the number and type of occupants.

- Evidence
Evidence is information gathered to support a judgement of competence against the specifications of the relevant unit/s of competency.
Evidence can take many forms and be gathered from a number of sources. Assessors often categorise evidence in different ways for example:
- direct, indirect and supplementary sources of evidence, or a combination of these
- evidence collected by the candidate or evidence collected by the assessor
- historical and recent evidence collected by the candidate and current evidence collected by the assessor.
- Evidence gathering techniques
Evidence gathering techniques means the particular technique or method used to gather different types of evidence. This may include methods or techniques such as questioning, direct observation, structured activities, third party feedback, portfolios and review of products. Also see Assessment method/s.
- Evidence guide
The evidence guide provides advice to inform and support appropriate assessment of this unit. It contains an overview of the assessment requirements followed by identification of specific aspects of evidence that will need to be addressed in determining competence. The evidence guide is an integral part of the unit and should be read and interpreted in conjunction with the other components of competency.
- Evidence plan
Evidence plan forms part of the Assessment Plan and guides and instructs the collection of evidence relating to a particular competency standard/s, identifying the types of evidence that will need to be gathered to meet the performance criteria evidence requirements.
F
- Fairness
Fairness is one of the Principles of Assessment. To be fair, assessment should ensure that: the candidate clearly understands what is expected of them and what form the assessment will take; the assessment procedure supports the identification of training needs; equity requirements for all groups of people being assessed will be considered and addressed through reasonable adjustments; criteria for judging performance should be made clear to the candidate; a participatory approach to assessment is used and agreed to by the assessor and the candidate; opportunities that allow the person/s being assessed to challenge assessments and with provision for reassessment are provided.
- Flexible learning
Flexible learning describes the situation where a trainer and a client can negotiate a range of options regarding what, where, when and how learning occurs. These options are based on providing solutions that meet the needs of the client. Visit Dannie Lindy's Q&A section in the OLS Staff Room for more information on flexible learning.
