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

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

Evidence of the ability to:

develop, implement and document maintenance plans in accordance with organisation policies and procedures to ensure that the condition and performance of equipment and facilities are maintained at optimal level to provide an effective service to users and meet legislative requirements

liaise with and monitor the work of maintenance personnel and contractors to ensure quality outcomes and minimal disruption to service users

seek feedback on the maintenance plan and modify as appropriate

use knowledge of future needs of service provision to provide input into the selection of new equipment and facilities to improve service delivery to users.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

coordination of maintenance plans and procedures which meet identified priorities and are of sufficient breadth to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance.

Assessment must also ensure access to:

a work facility and equipment requiring regular maintenance

resources and equipment to implement maintenance plan

maintenance history of equipment and facility

an actual or simulated maintenance budget

service users

manufacturer instructions.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

observation of implementing and monitoring maintenance plan

oral and or written questioning to assess knowledge of relevant legislation in relation to carrying out maintenance activities

third-party reports from a supervisor detailing work performance

portfolio of records and reports documenting development and review of maintenance plan and outcomes.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

SISXRSK502A Manage organisational risks.
