Issue Date: March 2024


This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to manage machinery and equipment.

All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, work health and safety requirements, manufacturer’s specifications and sustainability practices.

This unit applies to individuals who take personal responsibility and exercise autonomy in undertaking complex work. They analyse and synthesise information and analyse, design and communicate solutions to sometimes complex problems.

No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Element

Performance criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Evaluate machinery and equipment

1.1 Review and match operations of available machinery and equipment to production processes

1.2 Calculate operation and servicing costs of machinery and equipment to justify total purchasing price

1.3 Estimate productivity returns from machinery and equipment to identify benefit to production processes

1.4 Monitor machinery and equipment replacement cycles to identify improvement options and maximise life cycles of components

1.5 Acquire machinery and equipment through appropriate procurement options

2. Coordinate maintenance

2.1 Identify and schedule maintenance and service cycles to ensure servicing is according to manufacturer's specifications and production processes

2.2 Cost and arrange storing and housing of machinery and equipment

2.3 Document and record operational and service history

2.4 Identify and risk assess work health and safety hazards in the workplace and review and record risk controls

2.5 Provide, use, maintain and store suitable personal protective equipment according to work health and safety requirements

2.6 Develop and monitor repair and maintenance routines according to manufacturer's specifications and work health and safety requirements

3. Monitor operation

3.1 Make available, maintain and dispose of consumables and operational support materials according to enterprise requirements

3.2 Monitor environmental implications and workplace safety practices according to enterprise requirements

3.3 Ensure operational procedures are clear, documented and followed according to manufacturer's specifications

3.4 Provide operators with competent instruction and appropriate supervision according to work health and safety requirements

The candidate must be assessed on their ability to integrate and apply the performance requirements of this unit in a workplace setting. Performance must be demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts.

The candidate must provide evidence that they can:

identify hazards and implement safe systems of work

monitor machinery and equipment operations

evaluate machinery and equipment

develop machinery and equipment operation and maintenance procedures in compliance with environmental Codes of Practice and work health and safety and hazardous substances legislation

schedule, supervise and record the service and maintenance of machinery and equipment

monitor machinery and equipment operations and maintenance, and review risk assessments periodically to ensure a safe operating environment

assess staff capability in machinery maintenance and operation, and provide training and mentoring

The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:

servicing and maintaining machinery and equipment within area of responsibility

methods of calculating the cost of machines and their contribution

training and instruction techniques for directing the learning of staff

relevant work health and safety and environmental issues, legislative requirements and Codes of Practice

work health and safety hazard identification, risk assessment and developing risk controls

environmental legislation and Codes of Practice with regard to maintenance of machinery and equipment, disposal of wastes and hazardous substances

legislative and enterprise requirements for work health and safety

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessors must satisfy current standards for RTOs.
