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

The meat industry has specific and clear requirements for evidence. A minimum of three forms of evidence is required to demonstrate competency in the meat industry. This is specifically designed to provide evidence that covers the demonstration in the workplace of all aspects of competency over time.

These requirements are in addition to the requirements for valid, current, authentic and sufficient evidence.

Three forms of evidence means three different kinds of evidence – not three pieces of the same kind. In practice it will mean that most of the Unit is covered twice. This increases the legitimacy of the evidence.

All assessment must be conducted against Australian meat industry standards and regulations.

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to:

start up readers and computer terminal

manage and monitor RFID reading process

take corrective actions when NLIS data is not read

respond to a carcase with an ERP status

follow break and end of shift procedures

validate shift slaughter details

implement work place procedures to deal with a software or hardware failure.

Assessment must confirm knowledge of:

the NLIS system, including the origin and nature of the system, its commercial importance, role in food safety and importing country requirements, role in traceability

NLIS regulatory requirements in relation to abattoirs

purpose, nature of and regulations underpinning the use of PICs

NLIS devices including RFIDs and boluses, and their purpose and function in the cattle NLIS

status, abbreviations and what they mean, and the required actions to be taken in response

when and how tail tags are used in place of RFIDs

start up procedures

recognising and interpreting NLIS screens

ERP status and responses

corrective actions for non-readers, missing tags, out of order stock, multiple devices, boluses

relevant work instructions and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

shut down procedures

tailtag procedures.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must be conducted in the workplace.

Resources may include:

enterprise work instructions

Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) NLIS assistance and publications

manufacturer's instructions.

Method of assessment

The following assessment methods are suggested:

workplace referee’s report

knowledge test

on-the-job demonstration with assessor observation.

Assessment practices should take into account any relevant language or cultural issues related to Aboriginality or Torres Strait Islander, gender, or language backgrounds other than English. Language and literacy demands of the assessment task should not be higher than those of the work role.

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.

Extended Residue Program (ERP) status includes:

the ERP program and status codes available in the report section of the processor database of the NLIS.

Workplace health and safety risks when working with livestock may include:

zoonotic diseases such as Q-Fever

manual handling risks

risks associated with the use of electrical equipment.
