This unit of competency supports the achievement of skills and knowledge to use static machines, which may include working with others and as a member of a team.
This unit specifies the outcomes required to use static machines, which are those fixed to a set location for their operation, as applies with off-site manufacturing processes.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Evidence Required
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.
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
This unit of competency could be assessed in the workplace or a close simulation of the workplace environment, provided that simulated or project-based assessment techniques fully replicate construction workplace conditions, materials, activities, responsibilities and procedures.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability to set up three separate types of machines for processing at least one of the materials listed in the range statement, providing evidence of the ability to:
comply with OHS regulations applicable to workplace and machine operations
comply with organisational policies and procedures, including quality assurance requirements within context of carrying out machining operations
identify and appropriately apply manufacturer recommendations in use of machine
identify and correctly apply guarding requirements in operating machine
demonstrate correct setting up procedures for machine operations prior to use
demonstrate correct start-up procedures for operation of machines
demonstrate safe and effective operation of machine
demonstrate correct shut-down and switch-off procedures on completion of machining operation
clean and maintain machine correctly
place or remove cutters and blades safely and correctly.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
This competency is to be assessed using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.
Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge will usually be conducted in an off-site context.
Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards' requirements.
Resource implications for assessment include:
workshop location
access to a range of static machines
materials appropriate to work orientation of machining operations
information and specifications of material machining requirements.
Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support.
Method of assessment
Assessment methods must:
satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package
include direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions, with questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application
reinforce the integration of employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles
confirm a reasonable inference that competency is not only verified under the particular assessment circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances and environments.
Validity and sufficiency of evidence requires that:
competency will need to be demonstrated over a period of time reflecting the scope of the role and practical requirements of the workplace
where the assessment is part of a structured learning experience the evidence collected must relate to a number of performances assessed at different points in time and separated by further learning and practice with a decision on competency only taken at the point when the assessor has complete confidence in the person's demonstrated ability and applied knowledge
all assessment that is part of a structured learning experience must include a combination of direct, indirect and supplementary evidence.
Assessment processes and techniques should, as far as is practical, take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed.
Supplementary evidence of competency may be obtained from relevant authenticated documentation from third parties, such as existing supervisors, team leaders or specialist training staff.
