Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to connect and disconnect reefer units in accordance with workplace requirements as part of work activities in the stevedoring, transport, distribution and allied industries.

It includes plugging and unplugging reefer units to/from power sources, attaching and detaching reefer units, and identifying and reporting any problems with reefer unit operation.

Work is performed under some supervision generally within a team environment.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so. Where this is not appropriate, assessment on connecting and disconnecting reefer units must occur in a simulated workplace operational situation that replicates workplace conditions.

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.

Resources for assessment include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals
