Unit of Competency | MSMWJ303 - Operate a vacuum loading system |

Description | |||
Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to operate a vacuum loading system which may be used to move materials from an open space or vessel into a container. The materials moved may be solids (lump or particulate), liquids or gases/vapours. The materials may also be hazardous (chemical hazard, flammable/explosive, and particulate carbonaceous particulates).Work will be undertaken on a worksite which may be a client's site or may be public space.Operators will also need to be competent in a range of other units of competency in order to be allowed to operate independently on site. No other licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Competency must be achieved before performing this work unsupervised. Therefore this unit will typically be assessed off the job. Where assessment is undertaken on the job, appropriate supervision and safety precautions must be provided. The unit should be assessed holistically and the judgement of competence based on a holistic assessment of the evidence. While vacuum loading equipment must be used, the plant/job requiring vacuum loading may be a realistic simulation of an industry plant/application/situation. All appropriate tools, equipment, paper work/permits and safety gear required will be available and used as required. The assessor should only intervene if it would be unsafe to allow the assessment to continue. It is expected that one assessor would not observe a group larger than ten persons at the one assessment event. Off-the-job assessment must sufficiently reflect realistic operational workplace conditions that cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills. Assessment in a simulated environment should use evidence collected from one or more of: walk-throughs demonstration of skills industry-based case studies/scenarios ‘what ifs’. Knowledge evidence will be collected independently of the above practical assessment and may use workbooks, written assessments, interviews (provided a record is kept) or other methods. 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. Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit. Persons seeking verification of competence/retraining must meet the same evidence requirements as above. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately. The regulatory framework will be reflected in workplace policies and procedures and is not required to be independently assessed. As a minimum, assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 assessor requirements. |
