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. Assess solid waste | 1.1 Reusable waste is sorted from recyclable waste according to enterprise procedures 1.2 Waste is weighed, and weight and source of waste recorded |
2. Prepare solid waste for removal from site | 2.1 Waste is shredded according to enterprise procedures, storage and delivery specifications 2.2 Waste is baled as appropriate for waste destination, delivery method and method of transportation according to enterprise procedures |
3. Dispatch solid waste | 3.1 Waste is stacked/packed on/in appropriate storage/shipping containers prior to dispatch 3.2 Waste is dispatched via appropriate delivery mode according to enterprise procedures and job specifications 3.3 Waste is dispatched at pre-determined rate to prevent accumulation of waste around machines 3.4 Documentation associated with tasks is accurately completed according to enterprise procedures |
4. Carry out minor routine maintenance and cleaning of waste packaging machines | 4.1 Shredder is cleaned, checked and lubricated according to manufacturer’s specifications and enterprise standard operating procedures 4.2 Baler is cleaned, checked and lubricated according to manufacturer’s specifications and enterprise standard operating procedures |
Evidence of the ability to:
correctly pack and dispatch solid waste
assess, prepare and dispatch TWO lots of solid waste, and maintain and clean waste packaging machines according to job and workplace specifications.
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:
Sorting solid waste
differentiate between reusable and recyclable waste, and provide an example of each
describe how reusable waste is stored and used
identify weight limitations of each batch of solid waste
Processing solid waste
explain work health and safety (WHS) requirements when operating the shredding machine
describe capabilities of the shredding machine
explain how to determine the appropriate baling method
Dispatch and documentation
outline the appropriate method for storing solid waste prior to dispatching
describe problems caused by accumulation of waste around machines
list details recorded when dispatching solid waste
describe where details for dispatching are obtained
Maintaining waste packaging machines
identify WHS concerns related to cleaning and maintaining shredding and baling machines
describe how often these machines should be cleaned and lubricated
Information sources
outline the relevant information in machine manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task
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 Support field of work and include access to solid waste and disposal equipment.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
