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.

Critical aspects of evidence

Locate, interpret and apply relevant information

Apply safety requirements throughout the work sequence, including the use of personal protective clothing and equipment

Identify and itemise steps and stages in processes and procedures

Complete a significant operational procedure, incorporating safety obligations, and covering:

full analysis of the topic area

step-by-step operational procedure

specification which is part of the procedure or a supporting document

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace cultures and environment

Work effectively with others

Resource implications

Enterprise or equivalent formats for procedures/specifications and subjects/topics.

Method of assessment

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

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and/or samples of work and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

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

Context of assessment

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

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

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

research, collect, organise and understand information related to the target subject, including the relevant technical, regulatory, cultural, environmental and safety requirements

communicate ideas and information clearly and concisely so that all users can interpret and follow the procedure/specification

plan and organise activities to avoid any back tracking or workflow interruptions

work with others to foster the team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete or confirm measurements and calculations required for the procedure/specification

create and apply systematic problem solving techniques to anticipate procedural problems, avoid re-working and wastage

use the workplace technology related to the development and production of procedures and specifications

Required knowledge

technical writing and presentation techniques

company operating procedures, including procedures for documenting and changing specifications and procedures

operation requirements of equipment and work systems in own work area

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Unit scope

This unit covers the work involved in the writing of specifications and procedures for the workplace, including:

operating procedures

complex cutting lists and specification sheets

The function is undertaken in accordance with established enterprise procedures and practices may include requirements recommended by manufacturers

Unit context

OHS requirements include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods codes and safe operating procedures

Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, authorised handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements

Work requires individuals to demonstrate conceptual ability, discretion, judgement and problem solving skills

Workplace environment

Work may involve individual and team related activities and will normally relate to the standard forms of activity performed in the enterprise and industry

Work may be on a one-to-one basis with a client or client group

Customers or suppliers may be internal or external

Machines/equipment may include:

any machine typically used in the furnishing sector concerned

microprocessor or computer-controlled machines

both production and facility equipment used in the enterprise

Tools and equipment may be involved

Personal protective equipment

Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices

Information and procedures

Work procedures/instructions

Manufacturer specifications and instructions

Standard forms of workplace process and layout

Organisation work specifications and requirements

Legislation/regulations/national and industry codes and practices relevant to the procedure/specification

Quality and Australian standards and procedures

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.
