Unit of Competency MSAPMOPS363A - Organise on site work
Description This competency covers organising of work in a field situation. This unit typically applies to operators who are preparing to do work in remote mine sites, or large industrial complexes where extensive permit or clearance systems exist.This unit covers the organising and preparation for on site work. Refer to other competency units depending on the nature of the work to be done on site.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application Application of this unitThe emphasis is on the planning of the work, the arrangements that are required to allow the on-site work to proceed and the set-up of tools, equipment and materials at the site. It includes the scoping, planning, communication and hazard controls required for the job. The work may be to do with conveyor systems, tanks, pipelines, equipment or other work in situ. The worker will:plan the jobarrange all permissions and permitsselect and arrange all equipment and materials to the siteset up tools, equipment and materials on siteidentify any hazards and take appropriate action.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

Overview of assessment

A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment.

Assessors must be satisfied that the person can consistently perform the unit as a whole, as defined by the Elements, Performance Criteria and skills and knowledge.

This unit may be co-assessed with units concerned with the nature of the work being undertaken.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

It is essential that competence is demonstrated in the knowledge and skills defined in this unit. These may include the ability to:

identify critical materials properties and operating characteristics in relation to the condition of the equipment

plan work process within organisational procedures and explain the reasons for the steps in the process

take appropriate action to observe site conditions, equipment configuration, possible work-site difficulties, hazards and identify problems to be reported.

Consistent performance should be demonstrated. For example, look to see that:

production needs are interpreted and met

problems are anticipated from observations

problems are efficiently resolved

the repair runs consistently and smoothly.

Assessment method and context

Assessment will occur using industrial scenarios and will be undertaken in a work-like environment.

Competence in this unit may be assessed:

on a processing plant allowing for operation under all normal and a range of abnormal conditions

in a situation allowing the generation of evidence of the ability to recognise, anticipate and solve problems

by using a suitable simulation and/or a range of case studies/scenarios

through a combination of these techniques.

In all cases it is expected that practical assessment will be combined with targeted questioning to assess the underpinning knowledge and theoretical assessment will be combined with appropriate practical/simulation or similar assessment. Assessors need to be aware of any cultural issues that may affect responses to questions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the oracy, language and literacy capacity of the assessee and the work being performed.

Specific resources for assessment

This section should be read in conjunction with the Range Statement for this unit of competency. Resources required include suitable access to an operating plant or equipment that allows for appropriate and realistic simulation. A bank of case studies/scenarios and questions will also be required to the extent that they form part of the assessment method. Questioning may take place either in the workplace, or in an adjacent, quiet facility such as an office or lunchroom. No other special resources are required.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.


Submission Requirements

(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.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level required for this unit.

Application of knowledge of the materials, equipment and process sufficient to recognise material and equipment conditions which may lead to out-of-specification production. For example, consumables for use in the work are within recommended shelf life.

Knowledge of organisation procedures and relevant regulatory requirements along with the ability to implement them within appropriate time constraints and work standards.

Application of the knowledge of managing risks using the hierarchy of controls.

Application of approved hazard control, safety procedures and the use of PPE in relation to handling materials, equipment operation and clean up. This may include the preparation of Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) or similar hazard management and planning techniques.

Competence includes the ability, for the practical completion of the job, to apply and/or explain:

interpretation of specifications, designs and/or work orders

understanding of the operation, equipment principles and details of construction

production workflow sequences and inherent hazards with on-site work

design requirements and details of the work to enable the planning to and the work to be completed as required

planning process, including breaking the work down into steps and stages

correct selection and use of equipment, materials, processes and procedures

products, materials and material characteristics.

Competence also includes the ability to:

plan own work, including predicting consequences and identifying improvements

identify factors which may affect product quality or production output and appropriate remedies

identify when the operator is able to rectify faults and when assistance is required.

Language, literacy and numeracy requirements

This unit requires the ability to read and interpret typical work specifications, job sheets and material labels as provided to operators.

Writing is required to the level of completing workplace forms, plans and job reports.

Numeracy is also required, eg to determine quantities of materials for the work.

The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Add any 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.

Where reference is made to industry codes of practice, and/or Australian/international standards, the latest version must be used.

Variables

Key variables to be monitored include:

environmental conditions

lock-out/isolation of 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.
