This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare a head for inspection by exposing the required glands and lymph nodes.

This unit is applicable to those preparing heads for inspection by specifically exposing nominated glands.

All work should be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, customer requirements and product specifications.

This unit applies to individuals who work under broad direction and take responsibility for their own work including limited responsibility for the work of others. They provide and communicate solutions to a range of predictable problems.

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. Prepare heads for inspection	1.1 Identify glands and lymph nodes to be exposed 1.2 Cut away tissue to expose glands and lymph nodes in accordance with work instructions and regulatory requirements 1.3 Identify and minimise sources of potential contamination and cross-contamination 1.4 Identify and follow workplace health and safety requirements for the preparation of heads for inspection

The candidate must prepare a head for inspection by exposing the required glands and lymph nodes.

The candidate must:

prepare head for inspection in accordance with work instructions and regulatory requirements

identify contamination and take appropriate action

apply communication skills relevant to work instructions and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

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

basic anatomy associated with the location of glands and lymph nodes

procedures for minimising contamination of product according to workplace requirements

purpose of head inspection procedures

Assessment must occur in a registered meat processing plant or facility.

Competency must be demonstrated in an operating meat processing plant or facility at normal production 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.
