This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to number carcases, heads and where applicable hides and viscera to allow correlation for inspection and Quality Assurance (QA) processes.

This unit is applicable to workers on the slaughter floor.

All work should be carried out to comply with workplace and hygiene requirements.

This unit applies to individuals who work under general supervision, exercise limited autonomy and have some accountability for their own work.

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

This unit must be delivered and assessed in the context of Australian meat processing standards and regulations.

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

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Element	Performance criteria
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1. Correlate heads and carcases by numbering	1.1 Correlate heads, carcases and where applicable hides and viscera by numbering in accordance with workplace and regulatory requirements 1.2 Number heads and carcases according to workplace health and safety requirements 1.3 Identify and manage potential sources of contamination according to workplace requirements 1.4 Number hides where part of the task

The candidate must number carcases and heads to allow correlation for inspection and Quality Assurance (QA) processes.

The candidate must:

number heads and carcases in accordance with work instructions

apply mathematical operations to a level required for accurate numbering

The candidate must demonstrate a basic factual, technical and procedural knowledge of:

hygiene practices for minimising contamination

the reasons for correlating heads and carcases

the consequences of incorrect correlation of heads and carcases

the work instruction for numbering carcases and heads

potential sources of contamination and cross-contamination

Assessment must occur in the workplace under normal production conditions.

Competency must be demonstrated at normal chain speed.

As a minimum, the following three forms of assessment must be used:

quiz of underpinning knowledge

workplace demonstration

workplace referee or third-party report of performance over time

Assessors must satisfy the current standards for RTOs.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
