Evidence of Knowledge
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of: |
Australian and international codes and regulations relevant to mail operations operational work systems, equipment, management and site operating systems for video-coding and coordinating video-coding operations hazards that may occur during video-coding operations and ways of controlling the risks involved problems that may occur and appropriate action that can be taken to resolve/avoid these problems relevant personal protective equipment and procedures for its use requirements of automated mail processing systems, operations and relevant equipment site layout workplace procedures and policies for conducting video-coding and coordinating video-coding operations. |
Assessment Conditions
As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions. Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate. Resources for assessment include: a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals relevant materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry. |
