Overview of assessment

This unit of competency could be assessed by observation of the operation of a crushing plant in the workplace

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

A person should demonstrate the ability to crush a minimum of tonnes of demolition material into two different nominal sizes of crushings which may be mm mm mm or mm including

communicating and working effectively and safely with others

completing work to specification

complying with site safety plan and requirements of

organisational procedures and processes including quality requirements

standards and codes of practice applicable to the operation of a demolition materials crushing plant

WHS legislation and regulations

identifying work requirements

safely and effectively operating plant and using tools and equipment

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of this unit

must be in the context of the work environment

must meet relevant compliance requirements

Resource implications for assessment include

an induction procedure

realistic tasks covering the mandatory task requirements including a crushing schedule and work instructions

research resources including industryrelated systems information

support materials appropriate to activity including

relevant manuals and specifications

safety data sheets

tools and equipment appropriate to applying safe work practices

workplace instructions relating to safe work practices and addressing hazards and emergencies

Method of assessment

Assessment for this unit must verify the practical application of the required skills and knowledge using a combination of the following methods

direct observation of tasks in real work conditions

questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application

review of relevant authenticated documentation from third parties such as existing supervisors team leaders or specialist training staff

Guidance information for assessment

This unit could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units relevant to the job function

Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources and the provision of appropriate assessment support

Assessment processes and techniques should as far as is practical take into account the language literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed
