Check conveyor operational status

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to check conveyor operational status, in accordance with workplace procedures and relevant regulatory requirements within the transport and logistics industry.

It includes inspecting conveyor system and work areas, checking equipment operational capability, identifying and assessing faults and reporting inspection results.

Safety checks and equipment tests are performed under limited supervision.

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)


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.

tools and equipment used and precautions and procedures that should be followed in their use

workplace procedures and policies for checking and assessing conveyor operational capability.

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

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 must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate 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, safe plant and equipment guidelines and operation manuals

relevant materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry.
