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 | Supervise weather tight and watertight integrity of vessel | 1.1 | Principal structural components of vessel are identified from vessel drawings to understand the function of these components in relation to conventional vessel design |
1.2 | Pumping and pipeline systems of vessel are investigated to establish survivability of vessel in case of flooding and damage control |
1.3 | Procedures for maintaining weather tight and watertight integrity of vessel are interpreted and implemented according to vessel safety management plan and regulations |
1.4 | Crew are instructed on requirements of plan and their responsibilities |
1.5 | Actions are instigated to confirm weather tight and watertight integrity of vessel at all times |
2 | Take action to meet changed sea and weather conditions | 2.1 | Weather forecasts and observations of sea and weather conditions are used to predict situations that may jeopardise vessel weather tight and watertight integrity |
2.2 | Effect of severe wind and rolling in associated sea conditions on vessel weather tight and watertight integrity is recognised |
2.3 | Effect of water on deck on vessel weather tight and watertight integrity is ascertained |
2.4 | Appropriate action is taken to maintain vessel weather tight and watertight integrity according to organisational procedures |
3 | Maintain records | 3.1 | Relevant documents and records are completed and maintained as required according to regulatory and organisational requirements |
3.2 | Relevant documents 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:
appropriately using bilge and other pumping arrangements
assessing damage control measures
completing required records
maintaining weather tight and watertight integrity of vessel
reading and interpreting vessel specifications, drawings and operational manuals.
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:
bilge pumping arrangements
different vessel types
effects of adding and removing weights, water on deck, slack tanks, rolling period, stiff and tender vessel, additions or alterations to vessels
principal parts of vessel and their various functions
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.
