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.
1. Plan and prepare for work outcomes | 1.1 Access, interpret and apply procedures/standards to ensure the work activity is compliant 1.2 Identify and confirm roles and responsibilities for own work 1.3 Prepare work plans that will ensure compliance with procedures and safe work outcomes |
2. Apply work procedures to individual work activities | 2.1 Carry out allocated work to procedures/standards 2.2 Adjust and confirm own roles and responsibilities to meet changing circumstances 2.3 Monitor work processes, report incidents and apply local risk control processes to minimise injury, loss, equipment damage and environmental harm 2.4 Identify and report noncompliance in the application of procedures and recommend improvements to relevant personnel 2.5 Complete written documentation in accordance with requirements/standards |
Evidence is required to be collected that demonstrates a candidate’s competency in this unit. Evidence must be relevant to the roles within this sector’s work operations and satisfy all of the requirements of the performance criteria of this unit and include evidence that the candidate:
locates and applies relevant documentation, policies and procedures
works effectively with others to undertake and complete complying with site work processes/procedures including:
communicating clearly and concisely with others to receive and clarify site work processes and procedures
demonstrates completion of complying with site work processes and procedures that safely, effectively and efficiently meets all of the required outcomes on more than one (1) occasion including:
plans and completes task to achieve agreed outcomes as determined by site processes and procedures
adjusts performance requirements to comply with processes and procedures
monitors and recommends changes to overcome noncompliance with site procedures/standards
reports noncompliance of processes and procedures to supervisors
where risk is evident applies risk management processes to minimise injury and report to supervisor immediately
completes required site documents and reports
The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of the following in complying with site processes and procedure:
identifying, interpreting and implementing site safety and health management systems
performing work planning processes
following site and equipment safety requirements
determining technical and operational capability and limitations of resources and equipment being used
understanding relevant work health and safety legislation including obligations under duty of care
An assessor of this unit must satisfy the requirements of the NVR/AQTF or their successors; and Industry regulations for certification and licensing; and,
this unit is best assessed in the context of this sector’s work environment;
where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment may occur in a simulated environment provided it is realistic and sufficiently rigorous to cover all aspects of this sector’s workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills; and,
this unit must be assessed in compliance with relevant legislation/regulation and using policies, procedures, processes and operational manuals directly related to the industry sector for which it is being assessed; and,
assessment may be conducted in conjunction with the assessment of other Units of Competency; and,
assessment must confirm consistent performance can be applied in a range of relevant workplace circumstances; and,
assessors must demonstrate the performance evidence, and knowledge evidence as outlined in this Unit of Competency, and through the minimum years of current* work experience specified below in an Industry sector relevant to the outcomes of the unit; or,
where the assessor does not meet experience requirements a co-assessment or partnership arrangement must exist between the qualified assessor and an Industry subject matter expert. The Industry subject matter expert should hold the unit being assessed (or an equivalent unit) and/or demonstrate equivalence of skills and knowledge at the unit level. An Industry technical expert must also demonstrate skills and knowledge from the minimum years of current work experience specified below in the Industry sector, including time spent in roles related to the unit being assessed; and,
assessor and Industry subject matter expert requirements differ depending on the Australian Qualifications Framework Level (AQF) of the qualification being assessed and/or Industry Sector as follows:
Industry sector | AQF** Level | Required assessor or Industry subject matter expert experience |
Drilling, Metalliferous Mining, Coal Mining, Extractive (Quarrying) and Civil Construction | 1 | 1 Year |
2 | 2 Years |
Drilling, Coal Mining and Extractive (Quarrying) | 3-6 | 3 Years |
Metalliferous Mining and Civil Construction | 3-6 | 5 Years |
Other sectors | Where this Unit is being assessed outside of the Resources and Infrastructure Sectors assessor and/or Industry subject matter expert experience should be in-line with industry standards for the sector in which it is being assessed and where no Industry standard is specified should comply with any relevant regulation. |
*Assessors can demonstrate current work experience through employment within Industry in a role relevant to the outcomes of the Unit; or, for external assessors this can be demonstrated through exposure to Industry by conducting frequent site assessments across various locations.
**Where a unit is being delivered outside of a Qualification the first numeric character in the Unit code should be considered to indicate the AQF level
