Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

AHCSHG302 - Prepare combs and cutters for machine shearing

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Grind combs and cutters

  1. Check the grinder and its location for safety hazards and implement control measures
  2. Identify faulty components and determine level of repair or replacement requirements
  3. Operate grinder in a safe manner without risk of injury to operator or others or damage to equipment
  4. Adjust pendulum pin settings, confirm set and pendulum bar is clean and check for level
  5. Test grinding plates visually in terms of being balanced and true
  6. Identify worn and incorrectly adhered papers and replace
  7. Set grinder
  8. Identify even wear of combs and cutters and sharpen combs and cutters
Check the grinder and its location for safety hazards and implement control measures
