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.
ELEMENTS | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Plan refuelling or fuel transfer operations | 1.1 | Fuel tanks are dipped to establish current level of fuel |
1.2 | Fuel is ordered according to organisational procedures |
1.3 | Amount and positioning of fuel on board vessel is calculated with reference to tank tables |
1.4 | Impact of refuelling on safety and operation of vessel is determined and appropriate strategies are implemented |
1.5 | Local port authorities are informed of vessel location for bunkering operations and duration of bunkering |
2 | Prepare vessel for refuelling or fuel transfer operations | 2.1 | Vessel is positioned and secured for refuelling |
2.2 | All personal protective equipment is accessed and used |
2.3 | Bunkering equipment is correctly deployed according to organisational procedures |
2.4 | Safety zone for refuelling process is established and maintained for full duration of operation |
2.5 | Procedures for refuelling are established with bunker operator and completed lists are checked according to organisation and safety management system (SMS) requirements |
2.6 | Bunker hose is securely connected to vessel fuel manifold |
2.7 | Tank valves are opened as necessary and refuelling operations are performed safely according to SMS and regulatory requirements |
2.8 | Tanks are dipped to ensure correct amount of fuel has been received |
2.9 | Fuel samples are taken to check quality of fuel received and appropriate action is taken if fuel sample is not to specification |
3 | Complete refuelling operations | 3.1 | Shut-down procedures are conducted according to organisational procedures |
3.2 | Malfunctions, faults, irregular performance or damage to refuelling equipment are recorded and repairs are organised, according to organisational procedures |
3.3 | Refuelling equipment is maintained and secured according to organisational procedures |
3.4 | Refuelling records are completed according to organisational procedures and regulatory requirements |
4 | Manage an emergency | 4.1 | Appropriate response is made to an emergency situation according to organisational procedures |
4.2 | Safety zone is closed off and isolated according to organisational procedures |
4.3 | All persons in the safety zone are correctly notified and their activities are managed to ensure safety according to organisational procedures |
4.4 | Appropriate authorities are notified and actions are taken as directed according to emergency procedures and regulatory requirements |
4.5 | Documentation of emergency is completed according to organisational procedures and relevant maritime authority |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include:
completing required records
implementing procedures for dealing with an oil spill
measuring tank levels
recognising faulty equipment and taking appropriate action
recognising problems and hazards during refuelling and fuel transfer operations, and taking appropriate action
selecting and using relevant equipment required for refuelling and fuel transfer operations
taking appropriate action in an accidental spillage, fire or safety incident during refuelling and fuel transfer operations.
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:
environmental protection measures to be applied during refuelling or transfer operations
functions and responsibilities of crew during refuelling or transfer operations
hazards and safety precautions to be observed during refuelling or transfer operations
own ability and limits to rectify irregularities and faults
refuelling and fuel transfer procedures applying to commercial vessels
requirements for reporting incidents
work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) and pollution control legislation and policies.
Assessors must satisfy National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (NVR)/Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) assessor requirements.
Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that reflect workplace conditions.
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Resources for assessment must include access to:
tools, equipment, machinery, materials and personal protective equipment currently used in industry
applicable documentation such as legislation, regulations, codes of practice, workplace procedures and operational manuals
range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations.
