Overview of assessment

Competency in this unit will underpin competency in other aspects of the candidates role in managing their work tasks

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

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

locating interpreting and applying relevant information standards and specifications

complying with OHS regulations ODS and SGG regulations where required and state and territory legislation applicable to workplace operations

complying with organisational policies and procedures including quality requirements

communicating and working effectively and safely with others

on a minimum of two different occasions

identifying selecting and using appropriate documentation to receive ODS and SGG containers into a work site

using tools equipment and materials effectively to receive and move containers in a work site

using tools equipment and materials effectively to dispatch containers from a work site

checking inspecting classifying and receiving containers and complete workplace documentation

labelling isolating and storing condemned containers

making safe containers according to work procedures

creating and modifying workplace records and documentation

identifying risks and hazards at work site

using appropriate PPE

using appropriate manual handling techniques and aids to transport and store containers

selecting and using appropriate workplace colloquial and technical language and communication technologies in the workplace

Specific resources for assessment

Resource implications for assessment include access to

actual or simulated work environment

a range of ODS and SGG containers with different contents including damaged and faulty containers

assessment documentation including training and assessment record books

all necessary tools equipment and materials

relevant procedure manuals and receiving documentation

all necessary safety equipment and PPE

Where applicable physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities

Access must be provided to appropriate learning andor assessment support when required

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the oracy language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed

Context of assessment

For valid and reliable assessment of this unit competency should be demonstrated over a period of time and be observed by the assessor or assessment team working together to conduct the assessment

Competency is to be demonstrated in a range of situations reflecting the practical requirements of the workplace which may include customer and workplace interruptions and involvement in related activities normally experienced in the workplace

Assessment of competency over the full range of performance criteria may be made through practical demonstrations in the workshop environment Consideration should be given to assessing consistency of outcome over an appropriate period of time

Candidates should also be given the opportunity to practice and undertake selfassessment of performance before requesting formal assessment

All safety requirements must be adhered to during all practical activities

Oral questioning or a written assessment may be used to assess underpinning knowledge In assessment situations where the candidate is offered a preference between oral questioning and written assessment questions are to be identical

Assessment of evidence should establish the candidates ability to perform the job to the standard required in the workplace

Supplementary evidence may be obtained from relevant authenticated correspondence or reports from supervisors or team leaders that demonstrate an understanding of the requirements for receiving and dispatching ODS and SGG containers in a workplace

Candidate should be encouraged to compile a portfolio of examples of completed documentation relevant to the candidates organisation One accurate example of each completed document is suggested as sufficient to infer competency and ability to transfer appropriate skills to each document type when required in the workplace Oral questioning may contribute as evidence of this ability

Information derived from enterprise policies and practices must be treated as commercialinconfidence

In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess the underpinning knowledge

Questioning will be undertaken in such a manner as is appropriate to the oracy language and literacy levels of the candidate and any cultural issues that may affect responses to the questions It will reflect requirements of the unit of competency and the work being performed

Where assessment is for the purpose of recognition RCC or RPL the evidence provided will need to be authenticated and show that it represents current competency demonstrated over a period of time
