Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify repair and maintenance requirements
   • Faulty or damaged components or equipment are identified and assessed for component exchange or minor repair
   • Identified faulty or damaged components outside own scope, as determined by organisational policies, are reported in accordance with organisational procedures
   • Where repair/maintenance/component exchange is appropriate, equipment and tools required are identified and obtained
   • Work areas and equipment are prepared and made safe for repair/maintenance/component exchange activities
2. Conduct repairs and minor maintenance
   • Routine repair/maintenance/component exchange is carried out in accordance with manufacturer specifications and organisational procedures
   • Equipment, tools and materials are operated, applied and handled in conformance to occupational health and safety (OH&S) requirements and manufacturer specifications to prevent injury and damage
3. Check and report minor repairs and/or maintenance
   • Minor repair/maintenance/component exchange activities are checked for compliance with manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures
   • Equipment is checked to confirm it has been restored to operational standards
   • Worksite is checked for cleanliness and operational safety, and appropriate action is taken to restore site and equipment
   • Repair/maintenance/component exchange activities are documented in accordance with organisational requirements

Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required knowledge and skills the range statement and the assessment guidelines for this Training Package
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria of this unit and include demonstration of applying the required knowledge and skills relevant legislation and workplace procedures other relevant aspects of the range statement Assessment must include exercises which demonstrate competent performance of the following in a range of situations identifying equipment checks required for a range of ontrack vehicles in the workplace identifying typical faults or defects that may occur on ontrack vehicles carrying out minor repairs maintenance and component exchange on different ontrack vehicles following correct workplace requirements for reporting identified defects Assessment must include exercises which demonstrate competent performance of the following in a range of situations demonstrating correct procedure for identifying minor faults correctly changing out faulty component reporting minor faults and complete organisational documentation
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Performance is demonstrated consistently over a period of time and in a suitable range of contexts Resources for assessment include a range of relevant exercises case studies andor other simulated practical and knowledge assessment andor access to an appropriate range of relevant operational situations in the workplace In both real and simulated environments access is required to relevant and appropriate materials and equipment and applicable documentation including organisational procedures regulations codes of practice and operation manuals
Method of assessment	As a minimum assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate writtenoral tests Practical assessment must occur through activities in an appropriately simulated environment andor in an appropriate range of situations in the workplace
