types of tools and equipment and procedures for their safe use, operation and maintenance

environmental protection requirements relating to the disposal of waste material

established communication channels and protocols

problem identification and resolution techniques

procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information.

Evidence Required

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

Overview of assessment

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

Evidence of the following is essential:

compliance with relevant legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and organisation policies and procedures for installing plant, equipment or systems

maintaining a working knowledge of current organisation inventory procedures

working and communicating effectively and positively with others involved in the work

applying, within authority, the requirements of the job or work role in relation to:

Installing plant, equipment and/or systems effectively

preparing for verification of installation

performing tests or trials

preparing reports of results

achieving work quality goals

completing work area housekeeping requirements including the documentation of project activity and process outcomes

modify activities to cater for variations in organisation context and environment.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

assessment of the competency should take place in a safe working environment in a passenger motor vehicle manufacturing plant or simulated environment using tools/equipment/machinery required for the production process without undue disruption to the production process

assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.

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:

assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of organisation relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge

assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application

assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process

assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.


Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording in the Performance Criteria is detailed below.
