Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Locate equipment faults
  • Unit or sub-system performance is monitored to identify presence of actual and/or potential faults.
  • Built in test functions, fault indicators or alarms and error codes are monitored and appropriate maintenance records are checked and reviewed.
  • Equipment faults are detected using established fault diagnoses techniques and procedures.

Element: Repair and/or replace faulty equipment components
  • Equipment is isolated according to standard procedures in preparation for component repair or replacement.
  • Faulty components are removed using appropriate tools and techniques in accordance with standard procedures.
  • Faulty components are repaired and/or replaced in accordance with manufacturer's specifications and standard procedures.
  • Unit, sub-system or system is checked and tested to confirm that maintenance has been completed to specifications.

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, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

The meat industry has specific and clear requirements for evidence. A minimum of three forms of evidence is required to demonstrate competency in the meat industry. This is specifically designed to provide evidence that covers the demonstration in the workplace of all aspects of competency over time.

These requirements are in addition to the requirements for valid, current, authentic and sufficient evidence.

Three forms of evidence means three different kinds of evidence - not three pieces of the same kind. In practice it will mean that most of the unit is covered twice. This increases the legitimacy of the evidence.

All assessment must be conducted against Australian meat industry standards and regulations.

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

Competency must be demonstrated over time and under typical operating and production conditions for the enterprise.

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must occur in the workplace under normal operating and production conditions.

Resources may include:

real work environment

relevant documentation such as:

manufacturer's instructions and operations manuals

regulatory requirements

workplace policies and procedures

relevant equipment and materials.

Method of assessment

Recommended methods of assessment are:

assignment

simulation

workplace referee or third party report of performance over time.

Assessment practices should take into account any relevant language or cultural issues related to Aboriginality, gender, or language backgrounds other than English. Language and literacy demands of the assessment task should not be higher than those of the work role.

Guidance information for assessment

A current list of resources for this Unit of Competency is available from MINTRAC www.mintrac.com.au or telephone 1800 817 462.
