Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

It is essential that competence in this unit signifies ability to transfer competency to changing circumstances and to respond to unusual circumstances in the critical aspects of:

consistently applying enterprise policies and procedures, industry codes of practice and legislation and statutory requirements in regard to storage of stock

consistently applying safe work practices in the manual handling and moving of stock, according to OHS legislation/regulations/codes of practice

consistently applying safe work practices in the mechanical handling and moving of stock, according to OHS legislation/regulations/codes of practice

interpreting and applying manufacturer/component supplier instructions with regard to handling stock and using equipment

receiving and processing incoming goods and dispatching outgoing goods according to enterprise policies and procedures

interpreting and processing information accurately and responsibly.

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

Elements of competence contain both knowledge and practical components. Knowledge components may be assessed off the job. Practical components should be assessed on the job or in a simulated worksite

Evidence is best gathered using products, processes and procedures of the individual workplace as the means by which the candidate achieves industry competencies

The following are required:

a workplace or simulated workplace

access to equipment, including stock moving equipment, manual and electronic labelling/ticketing equipment and computers/stock recording equipment

documentation, such as invoices, packing slips, dispatch documentation, order forms, store policy and procedures manuals, OHS regulations, legislative and statutory requirements and industry codes of practice

a qualified workplace assessor.

Method of assessment

An integrated competency assessment approach is required to ensure that holistic assessment occurs for inter-related units of competency. This unit should be assessed in conjunction with other units within the context of the candidate's job role or function

It is preferable that assessment reflects a process rather than an event and occurs over a period of time to cover varying circumstances. Evidence of performance may be provided by customers, team leaders/members or other persons subject to agreed authentication arrangements

Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role.
