Required knowledge

potential health hazards involved in the filtering and packing of products pollution and environmental issues that need to be considered when working with inkchemical products enterprise policies and procedures that are in place to deal with OHS and environmental hazards safety equipment that is required and what do you need to check when fitting and using it details that are required for the correct selection of packaging containers details that are required for the correct selection of filters factors that determine the selection of filters checks to be made when fitting the filter contaminants that can be present and how are they eliminated maintenance of quality of the product viscosity skin forming throughout the filterpack process samplingtesting procedures problems that may occur in extruding the product and how are they overcome weighing methods that are used in the work area system that is in place for labelling and storage of packed product manuals safety and other documentation that are relevant to this task and where they are kept

Evidence Required

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
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Evidence of the following is essential correctly filter and pack ink and varnish products according to job specifications demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources filter and pack inkchemical products into TWO types of packaging container using the correct filtering procedures according to manufacturers and job specifications OHS requirements enterprise procedures and the listed Performance Criteria
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Assessment must ensure assessment may take place on the job off the job or a combination of these Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment
Method of assessment	A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge The following examples are appropriate for this unit direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of onthejob performance by the candidate
Guidance information for assessment	Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector workplace and job role is recommended
