Required skills |
identify needs for calibration analyse tasks involved in calibration prepare procedures for calibration clearly and accurately in a manner suited to the users use literacy skills to read, interpret and follow organisational policies and procedures, develop sequenced written instructions, record accurately and legibly information collected and select and apply procedures to a range of tasks use oral communication skills/language competence to fulfil the job role as specified by the organisation including questioning, active listening, asking for clarification, negotiating solutions and responding to a range of views use numeracy skills to estimate, calculate and record routine and more complex workplace measures and data use interpersonal skills to work with others and relate to people from a range of cultural, social and religious backgrounds and with a range of physical and mental abilities. |
Required knowledge |
relevant OHS, pesticides and environmental legislation, codes of practice and enterprise procedures chemical handling and application OHS issues involved in calibration mechanical and electronic controls on application equipment. |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. | |
Equipment may include: | the range of equipment used in the application of weed control chemicals and bioagents. |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
