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 describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Develop maintenance program | 1.1 | Planned maintenance system is accessed to establish maintenance requirements for vessel |
1.2 | Maintenance program for vessel is developed to meet requirements of planned maintenance system |
1.3 | Maintenance schedules and budgets are identified |
1.4 | Suggestions that support effective implementation of maintenance program are offered according to organisational procedures |
1.5 | Strategies to minimise impact of maintenance activities on vessel operations are identified |
2 | Implement maintenance program | 2.1 | Routine maintenance activities are proposed and prioritised in conjunction with others involved in or affected by maintenance work |
2.2 | Routine maintenance activities are allocated within scheduled timeframes and budgets according to organisational procedures |
2.3 | Vessel operations are maintained where possible without interruption |
2.4 | Safety of crew is maintained at all times according to relevant legislation and organisational procedures |
2.5 | Requests for assistance from crew to complete maintenance activities are responded to promptly |
3 | Identify failed or unsafe machinery and equipment | 3.1 | Faulty machinery and equipment is identified and clear and noticeable warning signs are erected according to organisational procedures |
3.2 | Failed or unsafe machinery and equipment is assessed according to organisational procedures |
3.3 | Repairs are allocated to appropriate crew members according to organisational procedures |
3.4 | Unsafe machinery and equipment which cannot be repaired is promptly tagged and isolated according to organisational procedures |
3.5 | Unsafe machinery and equipment is promptly reported according to organisational procedures |
3.6 | Reports on all repair work undertaken are completed according to organisational procedures |
4 | Monitor supplies | 4.1 | Supply and stock levels are maintained to ensure ongoing availability |
4.2 | Management of supplies is undertaken according to organisational procedures |
4.3 | Supply and stock levels are reconciled and any discrepancies are rectified or reported |
4.4 | Supply records are maintained according to organisational procedures |
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:
effectively liaising with internal and external authorities/agencies
initiating timely action in response to defects or damage
interpreting planned maintenance system to determine maintenance requirements
managing maintenance of vessel
monitoring selection and use of supplies involved in maintenance of vessel
preparing reports on outcomes of inspection and maintenance activities
reading and interpreting safety data sheets (SDS)/material safety data sheets (MSDS)
reading and interpreting vessel, equipment and machinery specifications, drawings, operational manuals and diagrams
taking appropriate precautions to prevent pollution of marine environment.
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:
elements of ship structure crucial to the safety of the ship
fundamental principles of vessel construction
maintenance records that must be maintained on vessel to meet organisational and statutory requirements
nature and causes of corrosion of marine surfaces and structures, and available means for control
principal structural components
procedures for initiation and coordination of repair and/or replacement procedures on board vessel
relevant laws and regulations including work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) and pollution control legislation
slipping and docking procedures suitable for various types of hull forms
typical problems related to maintenance of vessels and appropriate actions and solutions.
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.
