Prepare to perform work associated with fuel system installation and servicing

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit applies to personnel who install or service fuel systems and equipment. They will typically undertake this in a service station forecourt which may be operational or be shut down for refurbishment or under construction.

Work associated with installation and servicing may be undertaken by a person working autonomously or in a team.

The skills and knowledge needed to undertake the work are covered by relevant technical units of competency.

Band: A

Unit weight: 2

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to prepare for work associated with fuel system installation and servicing. It complements other relevant general occupational health and safety (OHS) and any required technical units.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Evidence Required

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.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability to:

determine work requirements

identify hazards and risks associated with the worksite

establish appropriate plan for the performance of work

apply any state/territory licensing, OHS and environmental legislation, standards and industry codes of practice.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The application of competency may be assessed in the workplace or simulated work environment.

Assessment may be conducted before a candidate goes to site using appropriate simulations, scenarios and questioning.

The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team.

The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.

Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required.

The following resources should be made available:

workplace location or simulated workplace

a bank of appropriate scenarios.

Method of assessment

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and suitable to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the competency being assessed. In all cases where practical assessment is used, it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess the underpinning knowledge.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here
