use mathematical ideas and techniques to calculate time, assess tolerances, apply measurements, calculate material requirements and establish quality checks

use workplace technology related to the installation of LPG fuel systems, including use of specialist tooling, measuring equipment, computerised technology and communication devices and the reporting/recording of results

Required knowledge

A working knowledge of:

OH&S and environmental regulations/requirements, equipment, material and personal safety requirements

dangers of working with gas fuel systems

operating principles of LPG fuel systems

installation procedures

test procedures

enterprise quality procedures

work organisation and planning processes

Evidence Required

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

It is essential that competence in this unit signifies ability to transfer competence to changing circumstances and to respond to unusual circumstances in the critical aspects of:

observing safety procedures and requirements

communicating effectively with others involved or affected by the work

selecting methods and techniques appropriate to the circumstances

completing preparatory activity in a systematic manner

conducting installation in accordance with workplace and manufacturer/component supplier requirements

interpreting and recording the test results

installing LPG fuel systems and associated components within workplace timeframes

vehicle is presented to customer in compliance with workplace requirements

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

Application of competence is to be assessed in the workplace or simulated worksite

Assessment is to occur using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints

Assessment is to comply with regulatory requirements including Australian and Gas Industry Standards

The following resources should be made available:

workplace location or simulated workplace

materials relevant to the installation of LPG fuel systems

equipment, hand and power tooling appropriate to the installation of LPG fuel systems

activities covering mandatory task requirements

specifications and work instructions

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the automotive industry's RS&R training package

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance together with application of underpinning knowledge

Assessment must be by direct observation of tasks, with questioning on underpinning knowledge and it must also reinforce the integration of key competencies

Assessment may be applied under project related conditions and require evidence of process

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

It is preferable that assessment reflects a process rather than an event and occurs over a period of time to cover varying quality circumstances. Evidence of performance may be provided by customers, team leaders/members or other persons subject to agreed authentication arrangements

Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role
