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. Identify milling requirements. This may require interpretation of technical drawings or sketches

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

3. Confirm status of equipment, that safety guards are in place, equipment is fit for operation and required services are available

4. Collect and position materials according to job and equipment requirements

5. Set up, operate and shut down equipment according to workplace procedures to meet job specification

6. Monitor and adjust process and equipment during operation to stay within specification

7. Confirm that components meet specification. This may involve the use of measuring instruments

8. Maintain work area to meet housekeeping standards

May include ability to:

9. Use process control systems

Knowledge of:

10. Relevant state OHS legislation, standards and codes of practice relating to work responsibilities

11. Relevant site operating procedures and practices

12. Purpose and basic operating principles of milling equipment and accessories. This includes awareness of equipment operating capacities

13. Care, maintenance and storage of tool parts and accessories

14. Scope to adjust machining parameters and related effect on outcome

15. The impact of machining parameters and materials used on tool life

16. Safe work procedures including awareness of health and safety hazards related to the operation of the mill and related equipment

17. Housekeeping standards for the work area

May include knowledge of:

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

Relationship with other standards

Pre-requisite units

The pre-requisites for this competency standard are:

BCG1004A Carry out measurements and calculations

BCC1005A Use hand and power tools

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:

Mill and equipment

Relevant measuring instrumentation

Materials to be milled

Drawings, templates and specifications as required

Operating procedures and related advice on equipment/instrumentation operation

Personal protective clothing and equipment

Housekeeping standards 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.

Work is undertaken to predetermined specifications

Mills are not CNC (Computer Numerical Control)

Typical operations include slotting and cutting flats

Machining parameters are typically given and include speeds, feeds, stops, coolant and cutting lubricants

Measuring instrumentation may include callipers, verniers, micrometers, dividers and rulers

Pre-operational checks may include confirming that safety guards are in place, equipment is operational and other pre-start checks as required by workplace procedure

Basic routine maintenance includes cleaning and lubrication

Work may require the ability to work within a team environment
