The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, , the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package. |
1 | Critical aspects of evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessment must confirm appropriate knowledge and skills to: |
a | Prepare a small vessel's machinery for sea, including the start up and shut down of the main propulsion and auxiliary machinery and associated systems typically found on a small commercial vessel |
b | Exercise all required safety, environmental and hazard control precautions and procedures when starting up and shutting down the main propulsion and auxiliary machinery and associated systems |
c | Communicate effectively with others during start up and shut down operations |
2 | Evidence required for demonstration of consistent performance | a | Performance is demonstrated consistently over a period of time and in a suitable range of contexts |
b | Consistently applies underpinning knowledge and skills when: |
| 1 | starting up and shutting down the main propulsion and auxiliary machinery and associated systems found on a small commercial vessel |
| 2 | identifying problems and hazards with the start up and shut down of the main propulsion and auxiliary machinery and initiating appropriate action for rectification |
| 3 | exercising all required safety, environmental and hazard control precautions and procedures when starting up and shutting down the main propulsion and auxiliary machinery and associated systems |
| 4 | communicating effectively with others during start up and shut down operations |
| 5 | applying safety precautions relevant to start up and shut down operations |
c | Shows evidence of application of relevant workplace procedures, including: |
| 1 | relevant maritime regulations |
| 2 | OH&S regulations and hazard prevention policies and procedures |
| 3 | standard operating procedures |
| 4 | following on-board housekeeping processes |
d | Action is taken promptly to report and/or rectify machinery malfunctions |
e | Work is completed systematically with required attention to detail |
f | Recognises and adapts appropriately to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions among crew and others |
3 | Context of assessment | a | Assessment of competency must comply with the assessment requirements of the relevant maritime regulations |
b | Assessment of this unit must be undertaken within relevant marine authority approved and audited arrangements by a registered training organisation: |
| 1 | As a minimum, assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate written/oral examinations, and |
| 2 | Appropriate practical assessment must occur: |
| | i | at the registered training organisation; and/or |
| | ii | on an appropriate working or training vessel |
| |
4Specific resources required for assessment | Access is required to opportunities to: |
a | Participate in a range of practical and theoretical assignments, exercises, case studies and other assessments that demonstrate the skills and knowledge to start up and shut down the main propulsion and auxiliary machinery and associated systems typically found on a small commercial vessel; and/or |
b | Start up and shut down the main propulsion and auxiliary machinery and associated systems in a range of operational situations on a small commercial or training vessel |
