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.

Where the assessee does not currently possess evidence of competency in the following units of competency they may be co-assessed with this unit:

PMBPROD265B Operate portable vulcanising equipment

PMBPROD369B Repair conveyor belt covers

MSAOPS363A Organise on site work

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:

identify critical materials properties and conveyor operating characteristics in relation to the condition of the belt

plan own work process within organisational procedures and explain the reasons for the steps in the process

take appropriate action to observe equipment, materials and products for out of specification results, make repairs and identify problems to be reported.

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

production quality and output standards are met consistently

problems are anticipated from process observations

problems are efficiently resolved

the repair runs consistently and smoothly.

Assessment method and context

Assessment will occur on a industrial belts and will be undertaken in a work-like 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 recognise, anticipate and 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 material and equipment conditions which may lead to out of specification production.

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 belt repairs. Application of approved hazard control, safety procedures and the use of PPE in relation to handling materials, equipment operation and cleanup.

Competence includes the ability, for the practical completion of the job, to apply and/or explain:

impact of incorrect or faulty repair processes or materials

production workflow sequences and inherent hazards with conveyors

distinguish between causes of conveyor belt faults (eg abrasion, impact, tearing or other damage, mechanical problems, materials failure)

stresses and tensions on working belts and the common failure causes

correct selection and use of equipment, materials, processes and procedures

products, materials and material characteristics

effects of temperature, pressure and time on the curing process

changes in conveyor and repair materials during the repair process

requirements for cable lay up and ply replacement in forming a satisfactory repair, as applicable.

Competence also includes the ability to:

plan own work, including predicting consequences and identifying improvements

identify factors which may affect product quality or production output and appropriate remedies

identify when the operator is able to rectify faults and when assistance is required.

Language, literacy and numeracy requirements

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

Writing is required to the level of completing workplace forms.

Numeracy is also required, eg to determine the angle and dimensions of the repair.

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 belt carcass repair activities in either on-site or repair facility circumstances. It includes the operation of all relevant additional equipment where that equipment is integral to the conveyor belt carcass repair 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:

knives and cutting tools

hoists/lifting equipment not requiring any special permits or licences

hand tools (eg pliers, brushes)

vulcanising equipment

relevant personal protective equipment

belt restraining devices

portable power generating equipment.

Hazards

Typical hazards include:

damaged rubber and cords

dusts/vapours

manual handling hazards

cutting hazards

working on belts in-situ (where appropriate)

heat and pressure.

Problems

'Anticipate and solve problems' means resolve a wide range of routine and non-routine problems, using product and process knowledge to develop solutions to problems which do not have a known solution/a solution recorded in the procedures.

Typical process and product problems may include:

difficulties arising from the location

contamination of materials

communication problems (on-site)

tool problems

variations in materials and/or contamination of materials

vulcanising problems.

Variables

Key variables to be monitored include:

belt condition

belt location

degree of damage

forces acting on the conveyor

belt environmental conditions

lock-out of equipment.
