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 | Plan refuelling | 1.1 | Fuel tanks are dipped to establish current level of fuel |
1.2 | Amount of fuel on board vessel is calculated and positioning of fuel is determined |
1.3 | Impact of refuelling on vessel safety is determined |
1.4 | Fuel is ordered according to organisational procedures |
2 | Prepare vessel for refuelling | 2.1 | Vessel is positioned and secured for refuelling |
2.2 | Refuelling equipment is correctly deployed according to organisational procedures |
2.3 | Communication between all people involved in refuelling procedures is established |
2.4 | Tank valves are opened as necessary and refuelling operations are performed according to organisational procedures and regulatory requirements |
2.5 | Tanks are dipped to ensure correct amount of fuel has been received |
3 | Complete refuelling operations | 3.1 | Shut-down procedures are conducted according to organisational procedures |
3.2 | Refuelling equipment is secured according to organisational procedures |
3.3 | Refuelling records are completed according to organisational procedures and regulatory requirements |
3.4 | Malfunctions, faults, irregular performance or damage to refuelling equipment are recorded according to organisational procedures |
4 | Manage an emergency | 4.1 | Appropriate response is made to emergency situation according to organisational procedures |
4.2 | All personnel are correctly notified and their activities are managed to ensure their safety, according to organisational procedures |
4.3 | Waste containment measures are implemented to protect the environment |
4.4 | Appropriate authorities are notified when applicable |
4.5 | Incident is recorded according to regulatory requirements and 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:
carrying out accurate and reliable calculations dealing with bunkering capacity, consumption of fuel, speed and range of vessel
completing required records
managing refuelling to ensure safety of operation and avoid pollution of marine environment
measuring tank levels
reading and interpreting manufacturer specifications and safety data sheets (SDS)/material safety data sheets (MSDS)
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 response to an accidental spillage 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:
arrangement of fuel oil systems
calculations involving specific fuel consumption, speed and range
calculations of volumes
condensation in fuel tanks
conversion of volumes to litres
effect of slack tanks on vessel stability
environmental protection measures to be applied during refuelling or transfer operations
fuel oil tank components
fuel tank filling
functions and responsibilities of crew during refuelling or transfer operations
hazards and safety precautions to be observed during refuelling or transfer operations
methods of fuel oil tank content measurement
refuelling and fuel transfer procedures applying to commercial vessels
specific fuel consumption
specific gravity
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.
