Element: Monitor and avoid noise hazards
  • Noise generating activities are minimised and carried out within approved operating hours
       


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

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment

Implement environmental regulations and best practice

Identify materials used in the repair, maintenance and installation process and assess their environmental impact

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage and wastage of goods, equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

conduct operator maintenance on tools and equipment to ensure environmental efficiency

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and the environment

Use of a spill kit.

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

Access to a marine maintenance, repair and installation workplace with access to marine crafts requiring repair, maintenance, testing or installing of components and/or systems, parts washers, recycling bins and pressure washing equipment with waste water recycling ability.

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment should be conducted over time and should be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.

Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role

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

Required skills include:

collect, organise and understand information related to environmental procedures from legislation, regulations, policies, guidelines, standards and workplace practices in a marine maintenance, repair and installation workshop

communicate ideas and information to enable all work undertaken is in accordance with environmental best practice, coordination of work with site supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities, including the preparation of equipment and materials and the selection of an appropriate worksite to avoid any environmental contamination, backtracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to minimise wastage, optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements and estimate material requirements required for the work

use planning, checking, inspection and investigative techniques to avoid any environmental contamination and wastage

use the workplace technology related to environmental protection measures

Required knowledge

Required knowledge includes:

aspects of environmental legislation and its implications to work being undertaken

characteristics and potential environmental impact of products used in the repair, maintenance and installation of marine craft engines, components and electrical systems

philosophy of reduce, reuse, recycle
