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

Critical Aspects of Evidence

Locate interpret and apply information relevant to the requirements of the goods to be moved or stored

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

Plan layout of storage areas

Interpret regulations and workplace order requirements

Follow work instructions operating procedures and inspection practices to

minimise the risk of injury to self or others

prevent damage to goods equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

Establish and maintain storage areas for

raw materials

production outputs

Use a range of nonregulated materials handling devices

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource Implications

Method of Assessment

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

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

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

Context of Assessment

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

Unit context

Materials

Materials handling equipment

Products may include:

Tools and equipment may include but are not limited to:

Personal protective equipment
