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!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

Assessment must be carried out in a manner that recognises the cultural and literacy requirements of the assessee and is appropriate to the work performed. Competence in this unit must be achieved in accordance with food safety standards and regulations.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of ability to:

identify storage requirements of temperature controlled stock

monitor temperature of storage area and stock to ensure standards are maintained

handle and transfer stock to maintain required conditions

identify and act on non-conformances

complete workplace documentation

apply food safety procedures.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must occur in a real or simulated workplace where the assessee has access to:

personal protective clothing and equipment

work procedures, including advice on safe work practices, food safety, quality and environmental requirements

temperature storage specifications

stock handling and rotation systems

controlled temperature storage facilities

stock requiring storage

load shifting equipment as required

stock information recording system and procedures.

Method of assessment

This unit should be assessed together with core units and other units of competency relevant to the function or work role. Examples could be:

FDFOP2007A Work in a freezer storage area

TLIA1407C Use product knowledge to complete work operations

TLID1007C Operate a forklift

TLIK107C Use infotechnology devices and computer applications in the workplace

TLID207C Shift a load using manually-operated equipment.

Guidance information for assessment

To ensure consistency in one's performance, competency should be demonstrated on more than one occasion over a period of time in order to cover a variety of circumstances, cases and responsibilities, and where possible, over a number of assessment activities.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Ability to:

access workplace information to determine product handling and storage requirements

identify storage requirements including temperature limits, minimum duration at given temperatures, and segregation and co-storage requirements

identify temperature controlled storage facilities and temperature zones available

select, fit and use personal protective clothing and/or equipment

use materials handling equipment in a temperature controlled environment as required to undertake work functions

follow procedures to measure temperature of product, such as use of instrumentation as required to take core and surface temperatures

read instrumentation, such as temperature gauges, to monitor stores and zone temperatures

identify and report out-of-specification temperatures in product and storage facilities

take corrective action in response to out-of-specification temperatures including implementation of procedures to segregate damaged or potentially unsafe product

complete records of stock receival and transfer as required

maintain work area to meet housekeeping standards

use oral communication skills/language competence to fulfil the job role as specified by the organisation, including questioning, active listening, asking for clarification and seeking advice from supervisor

work cooperatively within a culturally diverse workforce

Required knowledge

Knowledge of:

occupational health and safety (OHS) hazards and controls, including the purpose and limitations of protective clothing and equipment

temperature controlled storage facilities and capacities available in the work area, such as temperature zones within a single store and concepts (e.g. the Cold Chain compliance) as relevant to work requirements

temperature control requirements of stock handled in the work area, including acceptable temperature ranges and consequences of failing to meet these ranges, and where required requirements for gradual temperature change

stock handling procedures for receiving and locating stock within a store, including stock rotation and procedures for identifying, segregating, and disposing of damaged or potentially unsafe stock

stock handling procedures for transferring temperature controlled stock from a temperature controlled environment, including maximum duration stock can be held outside a controlled environment

food safety and quality consequences of stock temperature control requirements not being met

monitoring procedures and instrumentation, including use of thermometers or other temperature measuring instrumentation

notification, recording and reporting requirements

operating procedures for goods handling equipment as required

housekeeping requirements for work area

recording requirements and procedures

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Work is carried out according to company policies and procedures, regulatory and licensing requirements, legislative requirements, and industrial awards and agreements

Legislative requirements

Legislative requirements are typically reflected in procedures and specifications. Legislation relevant to this industry includes:

the Food Standards Code, including labelling, weights and measures legislation

legislation covering food safety, environmental management, OHS, anti-discrimination and equal opportunity

Workplace information

Workplace information may include:

standard operating procedures (SOPs)

specifications

production schedules and instructions

manufacturers' advice

standard forms and reports
