Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency covers the ability to prepare for, conduct and document an internal audit of aspects of the laboratory's quality system. It also covers the implementation of the identified corrective action and opportunities for improvement and the monitoring of their effectiveness. This unit of competency is applicable to senior technical officers and laboratory supervisors working in all industry sectors. These people play a key role in the audit team due to their knowledge of the quality system and their broad technical expertise and specialised knowledge of procedures and technology. This unit of competency requires a thorough examination of various aspects of the quality system. While no specific licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication, laboratory operations are governed by relevant legislation, regulations and/or external accreditation requirements. Local requirements should be checked. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Judgement of competence must be based on holistic assessment of the evidence. Competency must be assessed within the context of a team-based internal quality audit and assessed over a sufficient period of time to enable the candidate to prepare and conduct the audit, report the findings and implement and evaluate any corrective action. This unit of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated workplace environment, and assessment evidence must be relevant to the particular workplace context. A simulated workplace environment must reflect realistic operational workplace conditions that cover all aspects of workplace performance, including the environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately. Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate. Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence or through an independent process, such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept in each case). This unit of competency may be assessed with: MSL916002 Manage and develop teams MSL936001 Maintain quality system and continuous improvement processes within work or functional area Holistic assessment methods include: review of audit plan, checklists, data, findings and recommendations prepared by the candidate as part of the internal audit process feedback from audit team members about the candidate’s ability to encourage participation and provide useful information and clear instructions feedback from managers about implementation of the internal audit and the usefulness of the findings and recommendations questions to assess required knowledge of quality systems, internal audit process, quality improvement techniques and relevant workplace procedures observation of the candidate's performance at key audit stages. Access is required to all instruments, equipment, materials, workplace documentation, procedures and specifications associated with this unit, including, but not limited to: documentation, such as audit documents, workplace quality manual and HACCP plans, and quality (certification or registration) requirements safety procedures, SOPs and work instructions. Assessors must satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment as set by the VET regulator. The assessor must demonstrate both technical competence and currency. Technical competence can be demonstrated through: relevant VET or other qualification/Statement of Attainment AND/OR relevant workplace experience. Currency can be demonstrated through: performing the competency being assessed as part of current employment OR having consulted with a laboratory about performing the competency being assessed within the last twelve months. |
