Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Prepare to move material by transfer equipment
  • Applicable Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), environmental, legislative and organisational requirements relevant to moving material by transfer equipment are identified and followed
  • Work order is reviewed and checked with appropriate personnel
  • Type and quantity of material to be moved is inspected and checked for potential hazards, obstructions and spillage in line with site procedures and environmental requirements
  • Equipment is selected appropriate to work requirements and checked for operational effectiveness in line with manufacturer's recommendations
  • Moving processes are planned in line with site procedures
  • Communication with others is established and maintained in line with OHS requirements
       
Element: Move material
  • Communication signals are identified and nearby personnel notified of impending operation
  • Material to be moved and loading point are identified from schedules, orders and instructions
  • Material dimensions and weight are estimated to ensure the transfer equipment is kept stable and not overloaded
  • Load is manoeuvred into position using relevant transfer car techniques in line with manufacturer's recommendations
  • Material is moved using rail and transfer car in line with site requirements
  • Moving processes and equipment faults are recorded and reported to the appropriate personnel
       
Element: Shut down equipment
  • Material is cleared from transfer car prior to shutdown
  • Shutdown procedures are coordinated with other line operators and followed in line with OHS legislation and site procedures
  • Safety locks and brakes are applied to prevent accidental movement of the equipment
  • Routine post operational checks are conducted in line with organisational standard operating procedures
  • Areas around rail system are cleared of material spillage in line with 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

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence that they can safely and efficiently move material by transfer car in line with organisational requirements

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 of this unit and include demonstration of:

following applicable Commonwealth, State or Territory legislative and regulatory requirements and codes of practice relevant to moving material by transfer equipment

following organisational policies and procedures relevant to moving material by transfer equipment

moving material by transfer car to convey material to or from production areas

redistributing material on site using rail and transfer car

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace

Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints

Assessment of required knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context

Assessment is to follow relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements

The following resources should be made available:

workplace location or simulated workplace

materials and equipment relevant to undertaking work applicable to this unit

specifications and work instructions

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the FPI11 Training Package

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of required knowledge

Assessment must be by direct observation of tasks, with questioning on required knowledge and it must also reinforce the integration of employability skills

Assessment methods must confirm the ability to access and correctly interpret and apply the required knowledge

Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency

The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate

Assessment practices should take into account any relevant language or cultural issues related to Aboriginality, gender or language backgrounds other than English

Where the participant has a disability, reasonable adjustment may be applied during assessment

Language and literacy demands of the assessment task should not be higher than those of the work role


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.
