Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency requires application of work health and safety (WHS) legislation and principles to establish, maintain and evaluate a WHS system within the maintenance organisation, including on flight lines, in hangars and in workshops, during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance and may relate to individual and team activities. It is intended to ensure that the workplace is, so far as is practicable, safe and without risks to the health of employees.The unit is part of the Aeroskills Advanced Diploma training pathways. It is used in workplaces that operate under the airworthiness regulatory systems of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is, the candidate is not in productive work, an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations in establishing, maintaining and evaluating a WHS system The candidate must have access to all equipment, materials and documentation required and must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate. Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts. Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. The preferred method is the records in the Maintenance Management Competency Log. Where the individual does not have a Competency Log evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways, including direct observation, supervisor’s reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. Assessors must satisfy the requirements of the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Australian Skills Quality Authority, or its successors). |
