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 | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section. |
1. Monitor odour removal processes | 1.1 Monitor test results and processes to maintain the parameters of operation. 1.2 Identify and report faults and the operational condition of the process. |
2. Operate odour removal processes | 2.1 Correctly select, fit and use required safety equipment, including personal protective equipment. 2.2 Carry out routine plant inspections. 2.3 Conduct process tests and compare performance to operational requirements. 2.4 Make process adjustments to optimise system performance. |
3. Complete documentation | 3.1 Collect and record process data 3.2 Report observations outside defined parameters for further action. |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. The candidate must be assessed in at least one of the processes listed in the Range of Conditions. If not otherwise specified the candidate must demonstrate evidence of performance of the following on at least one occasion.
operating odour control equipment
identifying control system faults
monitoring test results and processes
identifying and reporting faults
conducting routine plant inspections
taking samples and performing basic tests
making basic process adjustments according to instructions
collecting data and completing required documentation
Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the depth of knowledge demonstrated must be appropriate to the job context of the candidate.
system layout
lockout procedures for mechanical and electrical installations
interpretation and use of safety data sheets (SDS)
environmental aspects of odour removal processes
biological principles of odour removal processes
risk factors and potential hazards
equipment operation, capacity and limitations
condition of pipes, valves, pumps and fittings
Competency should be assessed in an actual workplace or in a simulated environment, with access to equipment and infrastructure appropriate to the outcome. Competency should be demonstrated over time to ensure the candidate is assessed across a variety of situations.
Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.
