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.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Prepare for cleaning

1.1 Machinery is safely switched off before cleaning is started

1.2 Cleaning equipment and materials most suitable for the machine are selected

2. Commence cleaning

2.1 Vacuum systems are checked for wear, opened and cleaned with compressed air, and suctions replaced if necessary

2.2 Rollers and drums are checked for wear and cleaned

2.3 Jaws and grippers are cleaned and checked for wear

2.4 Glue units are checked for wear and cleaned, and excess glue and build-up removed from glue nipples

2.5 Glue applicators are cleaned and checked for wear

2.6 Hot melt residues are removed and glue pot is cleaned

2.7 Base and underneath of machine are cleaned of print ink and glue residue

2.8 Entire machine is blown down, top to bottom, and all grease and oil is removed from components, housings and the floor

2.9 Cleaning methods which are safe, avoid harm to the environment and follow the manufacturer’s instructions are used

3. Complete cleaning

3.1 Used cleaning agents and waste materials are disposed of safely

3.2 When cleaning is finished, machine is checked to ensure it is safe to operate, and all machine guarding is replaced or repositioned in safe working order

3.3 Obvious faults and wear are documented and reported

Evidence of the ability to:

safely clean and check a sack and bag machine with minimum downtime according to manufacturer’s specifications and work health and safety (WHS) regulations.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

list common faults associated with sack or bag manufacturing machines, the causes, and how to correct them

identify environmental obligations to be observed

explain WHS procedures for using cleaning fluids and equipment.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the converting, binding and finishing field of work and include access to a sack or bag machine, relevant facilities, special purpose tools, equipment and materials.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
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.
