Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment products and materials including use of personal protective equipment

Implement environmental regulations and best practice

Identify materials used in the repair maintenance and installation process and assess their environmental impact

Follow work instructions operating procedures and inspection processes to

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage and wastage of goods equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

conduct operator maintenance on tools and equipment to ensure environmental efficiency

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and the environment

Use of a spill kit

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Access to a marine maintenance repair and installation workplace with access to marine crafts requiring repair maintenance testing or installing of components andor systems parts washers recycling bins and pressure washing equipment with waste water recycling ability

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with process equipment materials work instructions and deadlines

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace contexts

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge

Assessment should be conducted over time and should be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency

Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role
