present vehicle and equipment in a condition that complies with workplace requirements

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated workplace environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting

Assessment is to occur

using standard workplace practices and procedures

following safety requirements

applying environmental constraints

Assessment is to comply with relevant

regulatory requirements

Australian standards

industry codes of practice

The following resources must be made available for the assessment of this unit
