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 housekeeping requirements | 1.1 | Identify site safety and housekeeping standards for the job/work environment |
| 1.2 | Identify hazards and follow specified hazard controls |
| 1.3 | Undertake housekeeping inspection in accordance with procedures |
| 1.4 | Identify and schedule housekeeping requirements, as appropriate |
2 | Perform general housekeeping duties | 2.1 | Keep designated work areas clean to organisation-specific standards |
| 2.2 | Keep designated work areas clear of obstructions |
| 2.3 | Handle and use chemicals and solvents in accordance with procedures |
| 2.4 | Ensure work area is ready for next user |
| 2.5 | Remove work materials, tools and equipment to designated locations |
3 | Clean plant and equipment | 3.1 | Identify organisation procedures for routine and specialised cleaning for the job/work environment |
| 3.2 | Apply procedures to keep assigned plant and equipment clean |
| 3.3 | Perform specialised cleaning procedures as required |
| 3.4 | Ensure that appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is used as required |
4 | Dispose of waste materials | 4.1 | Correctly identify waste materials |
| 4.2 | Remove waste materials to a designated location |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and must include the ability to:
identify:
requirements for housekeeping and plant cleaning within own area of responsibility
routine and specialised requirements
safe handling procedures
the standard of cleanliness required
waste disposal requirements
schedule activities to meet requirements
select and use personal protective equipment (PPE) and appropriate tools
complete the work in accordance with procedures and obtain appropriate sign-off as required.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
organisation procedures, including:
housekeeping, cleaning and waste disposal for the job/work area
safety, emergency and hazard control
relevant material safety data sheets (MSDS) for cleaning and process materials
types and applications of PPE
hazards that may arise in the job/work area and appropriate action.
The unit should be assessed holistically and the judgement of competence based on a holistic assessment of the evidence.
The collection of performance evidence:
should occur over a range of situations which include typical disruptions to normal, smooth operations
will typically include a supervisor/third-party report focusing on consistent performance and problem recognition and solving. A supervisor/third-party report must be prepared by someone who has a direct, relevant, current relationship with the person being assessed and who is in a position to form a judgement on workplace performance relevant to the unit of competency
must include the use of appropriate tools, equipment and safety gear requiring demonstration of preparation, operation, completion and responding to problems
may use industry-based simulation for all or part of the unit particularly where safety, lack of opportunity or significant cost is an issue.
Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
Assessment in a simulated environment should use evidence collected from one or more of:
walk-throughs
pilot plant operation
demonstration of skills
industry-based case studies/scenarios
‘what ifs’.
Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence (provided a record is kept) or through an independent process, such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept).
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.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
The regulatory framework will be reflected in workplace policies and procedures and is not required to be independently assessed.
Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately.
As a minimum, assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 assessor requirements.
