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:

log-in to NLIS database

review NVDs and/or PSS

check PICs against the NLIS database

implement response to EW or ERP status

review status of cattle on an abattoir’s PIC.

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

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

NLIS Database Helpline contact details

purpose, nature of and regulations underpinning the use of PICs

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

purpose and intent of NVDs

effect of an LPA status

nature of an EW status

workplace response to an EW status

nature of an ERP status

regulatory and workplace response to an ERP status.

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

software and hardware operating 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.

Guidance information for assessment

A current list of resources for this Unit of Competency is available from MINTRAC www.mintrac.com.au or telephone 1800 817 462.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills include:

Ability to:

interrogate the NLIS database to check PICs, current holdings on abattoir PIC

use mathematical skills to verify stock arriving against number listed on NVD / PSS

take action to improve work performance as a result of self-evaluation, feedback from others, or in response to changed work practices or technology

take appropriate steps to minimise workplace health and safety risks when working with livestock

work effectively as an individual and as part of a team.

Required knowledge includes:

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

NLIS devices including Radio Frequency Identification Devices (RFIDs) and boluses, and their purpose and function in the NLIS

NLIS Database Helpline contact details

purpose, nature of and regulations underpinning the use of PICs

nature of an Early Warning (EW) status

workplace response to an EW status

nature of an Extended Residue Program (ERP) status

regulatory and workplace response to an ERP status.

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.

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

being aware of and managing risks affecting co-workers

risks associated with the use of electrical equipment.
