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 inspections | 1.1 | Elements of the vessel structure critical to the safety of the vessel are identified |
1.2 | Location of defects and damage caused by vessel operations and the environment are ascertained |
1.3 | Parts of the vessel to be inspected for defects and damage are identified |
1.4 | Inspections are scheduled to ensure all parts are covered within a given time |
1.5 | Damage control plan is developed to ensure the seaworthiness of the vessel |
2 | Check condition of vessel in normal and emergency situations | 2.1 | Organisational procedures for coverage and frequency of tests and inspections on the vessel are complied with |
2.2 | Watertight integrity is checked and appropriate action is taken to prepare for prevailing and forecast weather and sea conditions |
2.3 | Degree to which vessel is secured is appropriate to prevailing and forecast conditions |
2.4 | Defects and damage are reliably detected and appropriate action is taken to rectify the situation |
2.5 | Irregularities beyond own ability to rectify are recognised in time to enable remedial action to be taken |
3 | Prepare reports | 3.1 | Reports are completed and maintained as required according to regulatory and organisational requirements |
3.2 | Relevant reports are sent to appropriate bodies and copies are filed according to regulatory and organisational requirements |
3.3 | Documents are stored according to regulatory and organisational requirements |
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:
adhering to procedures to distinguish between normal and defective or damaged parts of vessel
developing damage control plans
developing effective planning documents
identifying those elements of the vessel structure that are critical to vessel safety
inspecting and reporting defects and damage to cargo spaces, hatch covers and ballast tanks
interpreting and following procedures for the coordination of planned maintenance processes
preparing appropriate reports on inspection and maintenance outcomes.
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:
causes of corrosion to cargo spaces and ballast tanks, and how corrosion can be identified and prevented
construction, layout and subdivision of a vessel, including freeboard and bulkhead deck, watertight compartments, weather tight compartments, the bulkhead of the vessel and collision bulkhead
corrosion control measures
damage control measures that may be required to maintain the integrity of a hull in a range of typical emergency situations
how to ensure reliable detection of defects and damages
own ability and limits to rectify irregularities and faults
parts of the vessel to be inspected each time in order to cover all parts within a given period
planned maintenance systems for vessel and associated maintenance inspection procedures
principal features of vessel structure
principal stresses that act on vessel structure
principles and procedures to ensure watertight integrity of vessel hull in both normal and emergency situations
procedures for checking and inspecting vessel seaworthiness
properties and application of materials used to construct vessels
purpose of the enhanced survey program
typical vessel construction features and stress characteristics
where to look for damage and defects most commonly encountered due to loading and unloading operations, corrosion, severe weather conditions
work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and work practices
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.
