Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Evaluate machinery and equipment
  • Operations of available machinery and equipment are reviewed and matched to production processes and OHS requirements.
  • Operation and servicing costs of machinery and equipment are calculated to justify total purchasing price.
  • Productivity returns from machinery and equipment are estimated to identify benefit to production processes.
  • Machinery and equipment replacement cycles are monitored to identify improvement options and maximise life cycles of components.
  • Machinery and equipment is accessed through appropriate procurement options.
       
Element: Coordinate maintenance
  • Maintenance and service cycles are identified and scheduled to ensure servicing is according to manufacturer's specifications and production processes.
  • Storing and housing of machinery and equipment is costed and organised.
  • Maintenance is documented and recorded to ensure operational and service history.
  • OHS hazards in the workplace are identified, risk assessed, and risk controls are recorded and reviewed according to enterprise requirements.
  • Suitable personal protective equipment is provided, used, maintained and stored according to OHS requirements.
  • Repair and maintenance routines are developed and monitored according to manufacturer's specifications and OHS requirements.
       
Element: Monitor operation
  • Consumables and operational support materials are made available, maintained and disposed of according to enterprise requirements.
  • Environmental implications and workplace safety practices are monitored according to enterprise requirements.
  • Operational procedures are clear, documented and followed according to manufacturer's specifications.
  • Operators are provided with competent instruction and appropriate supervision according to OHS requirements.
       


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

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

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 workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following:

develop machinery and equipment operation and maintenance procedures in compliance with environmental Codes of Practice and OHS and hazardous substances legislation

schedule, supervise and record the service and maintenance of machinery and equipment

monitor machinery and equipment operations and maintenance and review risk assessments periodically to ensure a safe operating environment

assess staff capability in machinery maintenance and operation and provide training and mentoring

calculate the total running cost of machines.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances.


Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

identify hazards and implement safe systems of work

monitor machinery and equipment operations

evaluate machinery and equipment

identify skill needs of staff

identifying, assessing and controlling hazards

use literacy skills to fulfil job roles as required by the organisation. The level of skill may range from reading and understanding documentation to completion of written reports

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 complex workplace measures

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

servicing and maintaining machinery and equipment within area of responsibility

methods of calculating the cost of machines and their contribution

training and instruction techniques for directing the learning of staff

relevant OHS and environmental issues, legislative requirements and Codes of Practice

OHS hazard identification, risk assessment and developing risk controls

environmental legislation and Codes of Practice with regard to maintenance of machinery and equipment, disposal of wastes and hazardous substances

legislative and enterprise requirements for OHS.

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole.

Machinery covered by this standard may include:

hydraulic equipment

agricultural and horticultural machinery and equipment

engines

irrigation equipment

earth moving equipment

spraying equipment

solar and wind powered equipment

lifting/elevated equipment

all vehicles/motorcycles

all types of park and turf maintenance machinery and equipment.

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.
