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 | Apply a HAT to an existing process | 1.1 | Identify CCPs |
| 1.2 | Recognise CCFs which are outside of or approaching CCLs |
| 1.3 | Describe hazard related to CCFs and CCLs |
| 1.4 | Implement corrective action in accordance with HAT |
2 | Develop/modify a HACCP | 2.1 | Conduct a hazard analysis |
| 2.2 | Determine the CCPs |
| 2.3 | Establish critical limits |
| 2.4 | Establish/modify a system to monitor control of the CCPs |
| 2.5 | Establish the corrective action to be taken when monitoring indicates that a particular CCP is not under control |
| 2.6 | Establish procedures for verification to confirm that the HACCP system is working effectively |
| 2.7 | Establish/modify documentation concerning all procedures and records appropriate to these principles and their application. |
3 | Interpret HACCP/HAT to another worker | 3.1 | Explain the purpose and rationale of HACCP |
| 3.2 | Identify CCPs, CCFs and CCLs |
| 3.3 | Describe indicators of CCFs not within their CCLs |
| 3.4 | Describe impact of non-conformances |
| 3.5 | Demonstrate corrective action |
| 3.6 | Monitor worker implementing HACCP in their job |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and demonstrate the ability to:
recognise HACCP/HAT issues and take appropriate corrective action
analyse process and material variations in terms of the HACCP and determine appropriate actions
apply HACCP principles to develop a new and/or modify and existing HACCP as part of a team
communicate effectively with relevant personnel to convey technical information
apply operational knowledge to non-routine problems
write technical reports and HACCP/HAT tables
interpret quantitative data, make comparisons and interpretations.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
'seven principles' of HACCP
importance of CCPs, CCFs and CCLs
relevance of HAT to routine production
impacts of variations in materials, process and product on HACCP.
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 HACCP tools in the workplace
may use industry-based simulation for part only 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
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.
