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!

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and demonstrate the ability to:

read and interpret tool drawings, productivity data, product specifications, materials data, technical information, equipment specifications and instruments/control panels

analyse information and data to predict interactions of materials, tooling, equipment and process and their impact on product design and tooling design

apply the analysis to make recommendations, including:

tooling design/improvement

product design modifications related to tooling features

use analysis and balancing tools, as appropriate, to examine optimum tool design

communicate technical information verbally and in writing

calculate and interpret statistics, product formulae and process conditions.

Must provide evidence that demonstrates knowledge relevant to their job sufficient to fulfil their job role, including knowledge of:

polymer materials, their additives and the rheological, heat and other effects of processing to the design of tools and components

function of tool components and systems

function of clamping/mounting/ancillary systems

tool operating principles and adjustments

impact of product design on tooling design

impact of tooling design on product

impact of tool design and material properties on productivity

the technical strengths and weaknesses of common processing and fabrication technologies and their relative suitability for classes of products

the economic and market features of common processing and fabrication technologies and their impact on the selection of a technology for a product

impact of polymer and polymer compound properties on tool performance and product

material/tool interactions

the impact of different tool designs on product and productivity

types of tool designs required for different product types

organisation procedures relevant to the work environment/job role

hierarchy of control

hazards that may arise in the job/work environment and:

their possible causes

potential consequences

appropriate risk controls.

Range Statement

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Regulatory framework

The latest version of all legislation, regulations, industry codes of practice and Australian/international standards, or the version specified by the local regulatory authority, must be used.

Applicable legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice include:

health, safety and environmental (HSE) legislation, regulations and codes of practice relevant to the workplace, materials and processes being used and products being made

Australian/international standards relevant to the materials being used and products being made

any relevant licence and certification requirements.

All operations to which this unit applies are subject to stringent HSE requirements, which may be imposed through state/territory or federal legislation, and these must not be compromised at any time. Where there is an apparent conflict between performance criteria and such requirements the legislative requirements take precedence.

Procedures

All operations must be performed in accordance with relevant procedures.

Procedures are written, verbal, visual, computer-based or in some other form, and include one or any combination of:

test procedures

technical specifications

technical drawings

emergency procedures

work instructions

standard operating procedures (SOPs)

safe work method statements (SWMS)

formulas/recipes

batch sheets

temporary instructions

any similar instructions provided for the smooth running of the plant.

Hazards

Hazards must be identified and controlled. Identifying hazards requires consideration of:

hazardous products and materials

rotational equipment or vibration

sharp edges, protrusions or obstructions

slippery surfaces, spills or leaks

smoke, dust or other atmospheric hazards

moving machinery

high temperatures

other hazards that might arise.
