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 knowledge and skills, the range statement and the assessment guidelines for this Training Package.

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

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria of this unit and include demonstration of:

identifying and measuring current resource use

complying with environmental regulations

assisting with enterprise plans to improve resource efficiency

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Performance is demonstrated consistently over a period of time and in a suitable range of contexts

Resources for assessment include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulated practical and knowledge assessment, and/or

access to an appropriate range of relevant operational situations in the workplace

In both real and simulated environments, access is required to:

relevant and appropriate materials and equipment, and

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals

Method of assessment

As a minimum, assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate written/oral tests

Practical assessment must occur:

through activities in an appropriately simulated environment, and/or

in an appropriate range of situations in the workplace

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

supply chain procedures

other relevant enterprise policies, procedures and protocols

stakeholder identification

relevant competency

duty of care

Principles, practices and available tools and techniques of sustainability management relevant to the transport and logistics industry context, such as:

the correct use of equipment and vehicles according to environmental protection regulations and guidelines

techniques for minimising fuel/materials consumption

Required skills:

Interpersonal skills to:

work in a team environment

Oral communication skills, including:

questioning

listening

liaison

imparting information

Reading skills to interpret:

organise work methodically

prioritise duties

Written communication skills for:

report writing

Ability to relate to people from a range of social, cultural and ethnic backgrounds and physical and mental abilities

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance.

Environmental and resource efficiency issues may include:

minimisation of environmental risks and maximisation of opportunities to improve business environmental performance and to promote more efficient production and consumption of natural resources, for example by:

minimisation of pollution, through sound driving techniques

minimisation of waste through effective storage and recycling

efficient energy use, seeking alternative sources of energy

Appropriate techniques may include:

examination of invoices from suppliers

measurements made under different conditions

examination of relevant information and data

Organisational plans may include:

documented policies and procedures

work plans to minimise waste, increase efficiency of water use etc.

environmental protection regulations and guidelines on correct use of equipment and vehicles

Suggestions may include ideas that help to:

prevent and minimise risks and maximise opportunities such as:

minimise usage of fuel or use alternative forms of energy where appropriate

reduce emissions of greenhouse gases

reduce use of non-renewable resources

improve energy efficiency

increase use of renewable, recyclable, reusable and recoverable resources

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
