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 | Identify scarifying equipment | 1.1 | Applicable work health and safety (WHS), legislative and organisational requirements relevant to the use of scarifying equipment are verified and complied with |
1.2 | Types of scarifying equipment and their functions are identified from relevant information sources |
1.3 | Instructions and/or plans are read and interpreted to identify the process required to complete work tasks |
1.4 | Sources of power supply are recognised |
2 | Select scarifying equipment | 2.1 | Scarifying equipment and shot size are selected consistent with the needs of the job |
2.2 | Scarifying equipment is checked for serviceability and safety and any faults are correct or processed for repair |
3 | Clean and prepare sub-floor | 3.1 | Appropriate personal protective equipment is selected, correctly fitted and used |
3.2 | Fittings and fixtures are removed from the sub-floor |
3.3 | Sub-floor is cleared of loose debris and dirt, and cleaned |
4 | Scarify the floor | 4.1 | Work sequence and starting point are selected |
4.2 | Perimeter is prepared using an angle grinder |
4.3 | Main area is scarified using the most appropriate available equipment in accordance with Australian Standards or subsequent replacement standards |
4.4 | Floor area is cleaned, inspected and re-worked as required |
5 | Complete housekeeping | 5.1 | Tools and equipment are cleaned and stored appropriately |
5.2 | Work area is cleaned and rubbish disposed of appropriately |
5.3 | Workplace documentation is completed |
Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information
Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment
Identify materials used in the work process
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:
minimise the risk of injury to self or others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
Scarify a concrete sub-floor of a minimum of 10 sq. m to industry standards
Complete operator maintenance on scarifying equipment
Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements
Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures
Avoid backtracking, work flow interruptions or wastage
Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity
State or territory WHS legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to the use of scarifying equipment
Organisational and site standards, requirements, policies and procedures for preparing and presenting design information for the use of scarifying equipment
Types of scarifier attachments, their uses, capabilities and maintenance requirements
Characteristics, uses and limitations of the available shot sizes
Environmental protection requirements
Established communication channels and protocols
Relevant problem identification and resolution
Assessors must:
hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or its successors
have vocational competency in the furnishing industry at least to the level being assessed with broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification
be familiar with the current skills and knowledge used and have relevant, current experience in the furnishing industry.
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time rather than a single assessment event and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence, supervisor’s reports, projects and work samples.
Assessment is to be conducted on single units of competency or in conjunction with other related units of competency. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance in the unit and should not be assessed separately.
Assessment must occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process, equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
Access is required to access to scarifying equipment and attachments, manufacturer/user instructions and/or manuals and a realistic scarifying task.
