Required Skills
This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit. |
Required skills |
speak clearly and directly in order to clarify instructions and report to appropriate personnel apply teamwork to a range of situations solve problems particularly in teams in order to perform work safely and on time show initiative in adapting to changing work conditions or contexts particularly when working across a variety of work areas access, interpret and apply information on relevant organisation policies, procedures and instructions, particularly to selecting and using tools manage time when planning, preparing and organising work priorities take responsibility for organising own work priorities. |
Required knowledge |
relevant Occupational Health and Safety and Environmental regulations and organisation policies and procedures needed to carry out work in a manner which ensures the safety of people, equipment and the environment. The specific regulations will vary according to the area of operation common automotive manufacturing workplace hazards types, characteristics, uses and limitations of personal protective equipment safe lifting theory organisation emergency procedures correct handling and storage of equipment and tools to comply with OHS and environmental requirements environmental protection requirements. |
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: comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for OHS provide evidence of listening carefully and following instructions on how to select and operate equipment apply safe handling requirements for equipment, tools, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment undertake routine maintenance while following instructions in accordance with operating manual communicates faults and/or risks to appropriate people follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to: prevent damage to goods, equipment and products maintain required production output and product quality minimise the risk of injury to self and others. work effectively with others modify activities to cater for variations in workplace 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 workplace 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
