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.

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

Evidence of ability to:

identify forming, bending and shaping requirements

select, fit and use personal protective clothing and/or equipment

mark out and produce simple templates

position or feed material according to equipment requirements

set up, adjust, operate and shut down equipment

produce formed and/or shaped material to meet job specification

confirm that the formed and/or shaped material meets specification

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must occur in a real or simulated workplace where the assessee has access to:

Forming, bending and shaping equipment

Relevant measuring instrumentation

Materials to be formed, bent and/or shaped

Drawings, templates and specifications as required

Operating procedures and related advice on equipment/instrumentation operation

Personal protective clothing and equipment

Housekeeping standards and procedures

Method of assessment

Other units of competency relevant to the work role should be assessed in conjunction with this unit.

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:

identify forming, bending and shaping requirements - this may require interpretation of technical drawings or sketches

select, fit and use personal protective clothing and/or equipment

confirm status of equipment, that safety guards are in place, equipment is fit for operation and required services are available

mark out and produce simple templates - this involves producing sheet metal templates developed and cut to the required size

position or feed material according to equipment requirements

set up, adjust, operate and shut down equipment according to workplace procedures

produce formed and/or shaped material to meet job specification

confirm that the formed and/or shaped material meets specification - this may involve the use of templates and simple measuring instruments

take corrective action in response to out-of-tolerance results

maintain work area to meet housekeeping standards

Required knowledge includes:

Knowledge of:

relevant state OHS legislation, standards and codes of practice relating to work responsibilities

relevant site operating procedures and practices

purpose and basic operating principles of forming, bending and shaping equipment including awareness of equipment operating capacities

the effect of heating materials on the forming and bending process

scope to adjust equipment parameters and related effect on outcome

safe work procedures including awareness of health and safety hazards related to the operation of forming, bending and shaping equipment

housekeeping standards for the work area

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 in accordance with company policies and procedures, licensing requirements, manufacturer's recommendations, legislative requirements, codes of practice and industrial awards and agreements.

Codes of practice

Codes of practice include the Sugar Milling Operations Industry Code of Practice.

Range of shapes and products

The range of shapes and products formed may include

pipes

cylinders

cones

angles

ductwork

tubular shapes including hand rails and pipes.

Materials

Materials may include ferrous, non-ferrous and non-metallic substances.

Forming processes

Forming processes may be hot or cold.

Tools and equipment

Tools and equipment may include

presses

shapers

benders

drop hammers.

Measuring instrumentation

Measuring instrumentation may include

dividers

trammels

rulers.

Pre-operational checks

Pre-operational checks may include

confirming that safety guards are in place

equipment is operational

other pre-start checks as required by workplace procedure.

Teamwork

Work may require the ability to work within a team 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.
