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 | Check weather tight and watertight integrity of vessel | 1.1 | Structural members of vessel are investigated to establish weather tight and watertight requirements of vessel |
1.2 | Inspections of vessel are planned according to regulatory and organisational requirements |
1.3 | Checks are completed to confirm weather tight and watertight integrity of vessel at all times |
1.4 | Defects and damage to vessel are identified and reported according to organisational procedures |
2 | Take action to meet environmental changes | 2.1 | Anticipated sea and weather conditions are analysed to identify 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:
completing required records
reading and interpreting vessel specifications and drawings
taking actions to ensure and maintain the weather tight and watertight integrity of vessel.
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:
application of appropriate safety, environment and hazard control procedures
characteristics of stress and the principal stresses acting on a vessel
corrosion control methods
damage control measures that may be required to maintain the integrity of the hull
fundamental actions to be taken in the event of partial loss of intact buoyancy
fundamentals of watertight integrity
maintenance procedures contained in the safety management system
one’s surroundings and changes to these surroundings
principal materials used in the construction of a vessel
principal structured members and layout of a vessel and the proper names for various parts
principles and procedures to ensure the watertight integrity of vessel hull
procedures for checking and inspecting vessel seaworthiness
stability, trim and stress tables, diagrams and stress calculating equipment
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.
