The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package

Overview of assessment

This unit of competency could be assessed by observation of practical demonstration of recovery reclaim and fill operations for ODS and SGG

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

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the required skills and knowledge specified in this unit

In particular the person should demonstrate the ability to

communicate and work effectively and safely with others

comply with

OHS regulations

ODS and SGG regulations where required

state and territory legislation applicable to workplace operations

organisational policies and procedures including quality requirements

conduct recover reclaim and fill operations on a minimum of two different occasions including

identifying types of ODS and SGG containers valves labels and transport caps

using tools equipment and materials effectively to complete recovery reclamation and fill processing

preparing processing equipment for operation

preparing and assembling correct container and valve components

recovering and reclaiming ODS and SGG materials from different types of containers

filling different types of containers with ODS and SGG materials

pressurising filled containers

clearing fill and pressurising lines

sampling for analysis

interpreting quality control analysis data

performing leak detection tests on processing equipment and connections and on recovered reclaimed and filled containers

verifying by weight the recovery and reclamation processing of ODS and SGG materials

verifying by weight the correct filling of containers

labelling and filling different types of containers with ODS and SGG materials

preparing containers for service fitting transport caps and attaching labels container numbers and codes to containers

packing filled containers according to work procedures

create and modify documentation according to work procedures

locate interpret and apply relevant information standards and specifications

identify hazards and risks at work site

select and use workplace communication technologies and language in the workplace including technical language

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge may be conducted in an offsite context It is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards requirements

Resource implications for assessment include

actual or simulated work environment

range of containers to be used to recover and reclaim different ODS and SGG materials

range of containers and valve components to be filled with different ODS and SGG materials

assessment documentation including training and assessment record books

necessary tools equipment and materials

relevant procedure manuals and receiving documentation

necessary safety equipment and PPE

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must

satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the Property Services Training Package

include direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions with questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application

reinforce the integration of employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles

confirm that competency is verified and able to be transferred to other circumstances and environments

Guidance information for assessment

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

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