Evidence Required

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.

The assessment process must address all of the following items of evidence.

Ability to:

1. Identify planing and shaping requirements. This may require interpretation of technical drawings or sketches

2. Select, fit and use personal protective clothing and/or equipment

3. Confirm status of equipment, that safety guards are in place, equipment is fit for operation and required services are available

4. Collect and position materials according to job and equipment requirements

5. Set up, operate and shut down equipment according to workplace procedures to meet job specification

6. Monitor and adjust process and equipment during operation to stay within specification

7. Confirm that components meet specification. This may involve the use of measuring instruments

8. Maintain work area to meet housekeeping standards

Knowledge of:

9. Relevant state OHS legislation, standards and codes of practice relating to work responsibilities

10. Relevant site operating procedures and practices

11. Purpose and basic operating principles of planing and shaping equipment and accessories. This includes awareness of equipment operating capacities

12. Care, maintenance and storage of tool parts and accessories

13. Scope to adjust machining parameters and related effect on outcome

14. The impact of machining parameters and materials used on tool life

15. Safe work procedures including awareness of health and safety hazards related to the operation of the planing and shaping equipment

16. Housekeeping standards for the work area

May include knowledge of:

17. Basic operating principles of process control where relevant. This includes the relationship between control panels and the physical equipment

Relationship with other standards

Pre-requisite units

The pre-requisites for this competency standard are:

BCG1004A Carry out measurements and calculations

BCC1005A Use hand and power tools

Co-assessment of related units

Other units of competency relevant to the work role should be assessed in conjunction with this unit. This may include:

SUGZPCI2A Operate a process control interface

Resources required for assessment

Assessment must occur in a real or simulated workplace where the assessee has access to:

Planing and shaping equipment

Relevant measuring instrumentation

Materials for planing and/or shaping

Drawings, templates and specifications as required

Operating procedures and related advice on equipment/instrumentation operation

Personal protective clothing and equipment

Housekeeping standards and procedures

Assessment requirements

For information on how to assess this competency standard and who can assess, refer to the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.


Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Not applicable.

The range statement indicates the context for demonstrating competence. This statement is a guide and unless otherwise indicated, items may or may not apply as required by the work context.

Work is carried out in accordance with company policies and procedures, manufacturer's recommendations, legislative requirements, codes of practice and industrial awards and agreements. Codes of practice include the Sugar Milling Operations Industry Code of Practice.

Work is undertaken to predetermined specifications

Planes and shapers are not CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines

Typical operations include slotting, planing and cutting flats

Machining parameters are typically given and include speeds, feeds, stops, coolant and cutting lubricants

Measuring instrumentation may include dividers, callipers, verniers, micrometers and rulers

Pre-operational checks may include confirming that safety guards are in place, equipment is operational and other pre-start checks as required by workplace procedure

Basic routine maintenance includes cleaning and lubrication

Work may require the ability to work within a team environment

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
