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, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

Overview of assessment

A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment.

Assessors must be satisfied that the person can consistently perform the unit as a whole, as defined by the Elements, Performance Criteria and skills and knowledge.

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

It is essential that competence is demonstrated in the knowledge and skills defined in this unit. These may include the ability to:

recognise the importance of material properties and qualities

apply approved procedures

take appropriate action to resolve faults or report faults to appropriate personnel

explain and implement emergency shutdown procedures

Consistent performance should be demonstrated. For example, look to see that:

cable winding production standards are met consistently

upstream and downstream communication is timely and effective

operating procedures and work instructions are read and interpreted correctly

problems are identified and appropriate action is taken (ie the problem is fixed or reported)

all safety procedures are followed.

Assessment method and context

It is preferred that assessment takes place on an industrial cable winder in a work environment.

Competence in this unit may be assessed:

on a processing plant, allowing for operation under all normal and a range of abnormal conditions

in a situation allowing for the generation of evidence of the ability to respond to problems

by using a suitable simulation and/or a range of case studies/scenarios

through a combination of these techniques.

In all cases it is expected that practical assessment will be combined with targeted questioning to assess the underpinning knowledge and theoretical assessment will be combined with appropriate practical/simulation or similar assessment. Assessors need to be aware of any cultural issues that may affect responses to questions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the oracy, language and literacy capacity of the assessee and the work being performed.

Specific resources for assessment

This section should be read in conjunction with the Range Statement for this unit of competency. Resources required include suitable access to an operating plant or equipment that allows for appropriate and realistic simulation. A bank of case studies/scenarios and questions will also be required to the extent that they form part of the assessment method. Questioning may take place either in the workplace, or in an adjacent, quiet facility such as an office or lunchroom. No other special resources are required.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.

Required Skills and Knowledge

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level required for this unit.

Application of knowledge of the materials, equipment and process sufficient to recognise out-of-specification products, process problems and materials faults.

Knowledge of organization procedures and relevant regulatory requirements along with the ability to implement them within appropriate time constraints and work standards.

Application of the knowledge of managing risks using the hierarchy of controls applied to the polystyrene shape moulding process. Application of approved hazard control and safety procedures and the use of PPE in relation to handling materials, equipment operation and cleanup.

Knowledge of and skills in the operation of cable winding equipment and main components sufficient for consistent production of quality products including:

the function of winding equipment machine components and the materials used

the impact of winding machine cooling temperatures, tension, wind off speed on product quality and product output

the effect of unauthorised shutdown of equipment on the winding process.

Competence also includes the ability to:

plan own work sequence, including identification of key checkpoints for equipment monitoring, product quality checks and monitoring of supplies and downstream operations

monitor equipment operation and product quality

explain own role and the roles of others involved directly in the winding process

identify factors which may influence product quality and production output and appropriate remedies

make appropriate authorised alterations to own work plan and equipment to maintain both product quality and required production output

locate, interpret and apply relevant information and maintain workplace records

identify and safely handle products and materials, read relevant safety information and apply safety precautions appropriate to the task.

Language, literacy and numeracy requirements

This unit requires the ability to read and interpret typical product specifications, job sheets, procedures, material labels and safety information as provided to operators.

Writing is required to the level of completing workplace forms.

Basic numeracy is required, eg to determine that two 25 kg bags are needed to make up a requirement for 50 kg.

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. Add any 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.

Where reference is made to industry codes of practice, and/or Australian/international standards, the latest version must be used.

Context

This competency applies to all cable winding operations within the plastics, rubber and cablemaking sectors. It includes the operation of all relevant additional equipment where that equipment is integral to the cable winding process.

Procedures

All operations are performed in accordance with procedures.

Procedures include all relevant workplace procedures, work instructions, temporary instructions and relevant industry and government codes and standards.

Tools and equipment

This competency includes use of equipment and tools such as:

reels and spools used in storing cable

mechanical handling equipment

computers

traverse controls

hand tools and safety equipment

mechanical and computerised measuring devices

relevant personal protective equipment

cable (eg power, single cable, multi-core)

other relevant winding/cables/products.

Hazards

Typical hazards include:

moving equipment, cable and reels

manual handling hazards.

Problems

Respond to/rectify 'non-routine problems' means 'apply known solutions to a variety of predictable problems'. Typical process and product problems may include:

incorrect reel/spool size and winding speed

quality problems

equipment failure.

Variables

Key variables to be monitored include:

differences between actual and set conditions (eg speeds, temperature)

product colour, uniformity, surface condition and appearance

output rate

product integrity and general conformance to specification.
