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	The unit will be assessed in as holistic a manner as is practical and may be integrated with the assessment of other relevant units of competency
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Competence must be demonstrated in the ability to recognise situations requiring action and then in implementing appropriate corrective action Consistent performance should be demonstrated In particular look to see that situations which are out of the normal unusualunexpected signs of problems or potential problems with the equipmentprocesses are recognised appropriate action is taken in a timely manner hazards are recognised and appropriate action is taken to control risks arising from such hazards
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Assessment will require access to an operating plant over an extended period of time or a suitable method of gathering evidence of operating ability over a range of situations Assessment will occur over a range of situations which will include disruptions to normal smooth operation Simulation or case studiesscenarios may be required to allow for timely assessment of parts of this unit of competency Simulation should be based on the actual plant and will include walkthroughs of the relevant competency components A bank of scenarioscase studieswhat ifs and questions will be required to probe the reasoning behind observable actions
Method of assessment	It may be appropriate to assess this unit concurrently with relevant teamwork and communication units It may be appropriate to assess this unit concurrently with MSAPMOHSA Work safely MSAPMOHS200A Work safely.
Guidance information for assessment	Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Procedures	All operations are performed in accordance with standard procedures and work instructions
Information	Information to be used includes: organisational requirements oral and written instructions manufacturer's technical information
Corrective action	Corrective action to be taken includes: correcting within your own authority reporting to the person in charge complying with company procedures
Work practices	Work practices include: setting up, maintaining and using tools and equipment interpreting information identifying, selecting and setting up tools and equipment identifying hazards working as an individual organising your own work working as part of a team
Tools and equipment	Tools and equipment include: manual tools and equipment powered tools and equipment
Occupational health and safety (OHS)	All operations are subject to stringent OHS requirements and these must not be compromised at any time. Where there is an apparent conflict between performance criteria and OHS requirements, the OHS requirements take precedence.
Responding to problems	The responding to problems or non-conforming situations is restricted to responding in a routine, predetermined manner as specified in the relevant procedures. All operations are performed to procedures.
