Work with temperature controlled stock
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit has application in a food processing environment. Where work is undertaken in a freezer storage environment, also consider FDFOP2007A Work in a freezer storage area.
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to store and retrieve temperature controlled stock from appropriate storage facilities.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
Employability Skills
This unit contains employability skills.
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 | Assessment must be carried out in a manner that recognises the cultural and literacy requirements of the assessee and is appropriate to the work performed. Competence in this unit must be achieved in accordance with food safety standards and regulations. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Evidence of ability to: identify storage requirements of temperature controlled stock monitor temperature of storage area and stock to ensure standards are maintained handle and transfer stock to maintain required conditions identify and act on non-conformances complete workplace documentation apply food safety procedures. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Assessment must occur in a real or simulated workplace where the assessee has access to: personal protective clothing and equipment work procedures, including advice on safe work practices, food safety, quality and environmental requirements temperature storage specifications stock handling and rotation systems controlled temperature storage facilities stock requiring storage load shifting equipment as required stock information recording system and procedures. |
Method of assessment | This unit should be assessed together with core units and other units of competency relevant to the function or work role. Examples could be: FDFOP2007A Work in a freezer storage area TLIA1407C Use product knowledge to complete work operations TLID1007C Operate a forklift TLIK107C Use infotechnology devices and computer applications in the workplace TLID207C Shift a load using manually-operated equipment. |
Guidance information for assessment | To ensure consistency in one's performance, competency should be demonstrated on more than one occasion over a period of time in order to cover a variety of circumstances, cases and responsibilities, and where possible, over a number of assessment activities. |

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills |
Ability to: access workplace information to determine product handling and storage requirements identify storage requirements including temperature limits, minimum duration at given temperatures, and segregation and co-storage requirements identify temperature controlled storage facilities and temperature zones available select, fit and use personal protective clothing and/or equipment use materials handling equipment in a temperature controlled environment as required to undertake work functions follow procedures to measure temperature of product, such as use of instrumentation as required to take core and surface temperatures read instrumentation, such as temperature gauges, to monitor stores and zone temperatures identify and report out-of-specification temperatures in product and storage facilities take corrective action in response to out-of-specification temperatures including implementation of procedures to segregate damaged or potentially unsafe product complete records of stock receival and transfer as required maintain work area to meet housekeeping standards use oral communication skills/language competence to fulfil the job role as specified by the organisation, including questioning, active listening, asking for clarification and seeking advice from supervisor work cooperatively within a culturally diverse workforce |
Required knowledge |
Knowledge of: occupational health and safety (OHS) hazards and controls, including the purpose and limitations of protective clothing and equipment temperature controlled storage facilities and capacities available in the work area, such as temperature zones within a single store and concepts (e.g. the Cold Chain compliance) as relevant to work requirements temperature control requirements of stock handled in the work area, including acceptable temperature ranges and consequences of failing to meet these ranges, and where required requirements for gradual temperature change stock handling procedures for receiving and locating stock within a store, including stock rotation and procedures for identifying, segregating, and disposing of damaged or potentially unsafe stock stock handling procedures for transferring temperature controlled stock from a temperature controlled environment, including maximum duration stock can be held outside a controlled environment food safety and quality consequences of stock temperature control requirements not being met monitoring procedures and instrumentation, including use of thermometers or other temperature measuring instrumentation notification, recording and reporting requirements operating procedures for goods handling equipment as required housekeeping requirements for work area recording requirements and procedures |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Policies and procedures | Work is carried out according to company policies and procedures, regulatory and licensing requirements, legislative requirements, and industrial awards and agreements |
Legislative requirements | Legislative requirements are typically reflected in procedures and specifications. Legislation relevant to this industry includes: the Food Standards Code, including labelling, weights and measures legislation legislation covering food safety, environmental management, OHS, anti-discrimination and equal opportunity |
Workplace information | Workplace information may include: standard operating procedures (SOPs) specifications production schedules and instructions manufacturers' advice standard forms and reports |
Temperature controlled stock | Temperature controlled stock may include: stock to be stored at a constant temperature and at different temperatures for given durations |
Temperature controlled storage facilities | Temperature controlled storage facilities include: any controlled temperature environment |
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.
