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 assessment process must address all of the following items of evidence.

Ability to:

1. Access workplace information such as the cleaning schedule to identify cleaning requirements

2. Select, fit and use personal protective clothing and/or equipment

3. Confirm supply of necessary materials and services

4. Handle cleaning and sanitation agents safely. This includes following correct handling and preparation procedures and use of appropriate protective clothing and equipment

5. Prepare cleaners and sanitisers as required

6. Pace production and/or liaise with related work areas to take equipment off-line with minimal disruption to production

7. Prepare equipment for cleaning. This can include rendering equipment safe to clean, correctly positioning equipment such as valves, pipes, vents and taps, selecting appropriate cleaning cycle (CIP), removing waste and or dismantling equipment

8. Clean equipment according to cleaning process cycle and procedures. This can include starting up and operating the CIP process in both automatic and manual modes

9. Monitor the process and equipment operation to maintain the cleaning process within the required parameters

10. Return plant to operating order

11. Take corrective action in response to out-of-specification results

12. Advise affected work areas of cleaning schedule and progress

13. Maintain and store chemicals and related equipment as required

14. Carry out relevant checks and inspections to confirm effectiveness of cleaning

15. Sort, collect, treat, recycle or dispose of waste

16. Record cleaning information

17. Maintain work area to meet housekeeping standards

May include the ability to:

18. Take samples and conduct tests

Knowledge of:

19. Purpose and basic principles of cleaning in place (in-line). This includes the use and functions of caustic and acid solutions and cleaning sequence and stages as required in the workplace

20. Terminology relating to the chemicals solutions used

21. Safe work procedures including appropriate signage of cleaning activities and safe handling and storage of cleaners and sanitisers used

22. Purpose and limitations of protective clothing and equipment

23. Cleaning and sanitation requirements for work area. This includes different levels of cleaning requirements depending on the reason for cleaning

24. Methods used to render equipment safe to clean including lock-out, tag-out and isolation procedures

25. Equipment settings required for cleaning and for operating respectively

26. Basic operating principles of process control where relevant. This includes the relationship between control panels and systems and the physical equipment

27. Inspection points for cleaning and sanitation

28. Consequences of contamination of process flows by cleaning solutions

29. Types of waste generated by both the production and the cleaning process and related collection, treatment and disposal requirements

30. Environmental consequences of incorrect waste disposal procedures

31. Requirements to liaise/advise related work areas

32. Reporting and recording systems

May include knowledge of:

33. Sampling and testing

Relationship with other standards

Pre-requisite units

There are no pre-requisite units for this competency standard.

Co-assessment of related units

Other units of competency relevant to the work role should be assessed in conjunction with this unit. This may include:

SUGZPCI2A Operate a process control interface

Resources required for assessment

Assessment must occur in a real or simulated workplace where the assessee has access to:

Cleaning procedures and related advice on equipment operation including advice on safe work practices and environmental requirements

Personal protective clothing and equipment

Equipment to be cleaned and related cleaning system

Cleaning schedule or advice and related Standard Operating Procedures

Chemicals and/or automated chemical addition system

Services as required

Material Safety Data Sheets where appropriate

Housekeeping standards and procedures

Advice on environmental management issues relevant to work responsibilities

Workplace information recording systems, requirements and procedures

They may also require access to:

Sampling and testing schedules and procedures

Assessment requirements

For information on how to assess this competency standard and who can assess, refer to the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Not applicable.

Range Statement

The range statement indicates the context for demonstrating competence. This statement is a guide and unless otherwise indicated, items may or may not apply as required by the work context.

Work is carried out in accordance with company policies and procedures, manufacturer's recommendations, legislative requirements, codes of practice and industrial awards and agreements. Codes of practice include the Sugar Milling Operations Industry Code of Practice

Workplace information can include Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), specifications, production schedules and manufacturer's specifications

Equipment cleaned may include evaporators, pans, heaters, filters, chemical mixing and storage equipment plus pumps and pipes

Services may include power, water, steam, compressed and instrumentation air

Where tests are conducted as part of operation a typical requirement is measurement of pH and condensate quality

Monitoring the process depends on cleaning requirements. It may include monitoring: condensate quality (evaporators, heaters and pans); vacuum and brix (evaporators); time; storage tank levels; chemical strength; cycle time; temperatures

Operation and monitoring of equipment and processes typically requires the use of control panels and systems

Control points refer to those key points in a work process which must be monitored and controlled

Work may require the ability to work within a team environment

Information systems may be print or screen based
