Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency covers the ability to develop or adapt analyses, including methods and procedures, to meet workplace and/or regulatory requirements. New analyses, methods and associated procedures may be required to meet a customer's brief, analyse new products or raw materials, improve laboratory efficiency or meet changing regulatory requirements.This unit of competency is applicable to senior technical officers, laboratory supervisors and technical specialists working in all industry sectors. All operations must comply with relevant standards, appropriate procedures and/or workplace requirements. The work may involve developing new testing methods or adapting existing methods to satisfy a testing need.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. Judgment of competence must be based on holistic assessment of the evidence. Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time, rather than a single assessment event. This unit of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated workplace environment. 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: MSL925002 Analyse measurements and estimate uncertainties MSL977001 Contribute to the development of products and applications MSL977002 Troubleshoot equipment and production processes MSL977003 Contribute to validation of test methods Holistic assessment methods include: review of documentation completed by the candidate that provides details of gap/deficiency analysis, authorised development proposal, research and evaluation of alternatives, recommendations, validation of method/procedure and relevant records (e.g. approval, issuing of method/procedure) feedback from supervisors about the candidate’s ability to develop or adapt methods and procedures to meet workplace and/or regulatory requirements and prepare all relevant documentation for approval oral or written questioning covering concepts, principles and processes for selection and development of methods/procedures, technical aspects of method/procedure, and validation and approval procedures. Access is required to instruments, equipment, materials, workplace documentation, procedures and specifications associated with this unit, including, but not limited to: a standard laboratory equipped with appropriate equipment, instruments, reagents, samples and test methods, and SOPs online data search facilities. 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. |
