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. Confirm yard control status at start up

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

3. Monitor yard capacity to direct cane bins to appropriate yard location

4. Operate systems (either automated or manual) to locate bins in required location. This may include operation of a control interface

5. Sequence supply of full bins to the weighbridge system to meet cut-to-crush sequence

6. Connect rake to weighbridge system

7. Coupling and uncouple cane bins safely and meet traffic schedule requirements (required length)

8. Receive and report derailments

9. Divert damaged bins for repair

10. Monitor yard. This may require manual monitoring and/or use of a control interface and typically includes monitoring:

bins are recoupled to meet requirements of traffic schedule

bin identifiers match the actual bins

position of locos in the yard

11. Liaise with loco and equipment drivers

12. Use communication systems. This typically includes use of a 2-way radio and hand and audible signalling

13. Complete yard control records and prepare for changeover

14. Take corrective action in response to abnormal equipment and/or system performance, including derailments

May include the ability to:

15. Operate a tipping process

16. Conduct rail weighbridge operations

Knowledge of:

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

18. Safe work procedures including awareness of health and safety hazards related to yard control and associated control measures

19. Workplace documentation including consignment notes and trip/cut-to-crush documentation

20. Functions and basic operating principles of equipment and systems used

21. Function and location of signalling devices used to monitor cane bin movements in the yard

22. Cane yard system layout and line holding capacities

23. Implications of sub-optimal cut to crush times for mill performance and of disrupted supply

24. Operating requirements and controls

25. Communication system protocols

26. Procedures for responding to emergency situations

27. Reporting and recording systems

May include knowledge of:

28. Tipping process operation

29. Weighbridge operations

Relationship with other standards

Pre-requisite units

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

Co-assessment of related units

Where the yard controller conducts tipping process operation and/or weighbridge operations, the related units Conduct rail weighbridge operations and Operate a tipping process are to be co-assessed with this unit. Other units of competency relevant to the work role should be assessed in conjunction with this unit.

Resources required for assessment

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

Cane yards and related signaling and control systems

Cane locos (does not include operation)

Relevant codes of practice and industry standards

Bin consignment and trip/cut-to-crush documentation

Operating procedures and related advice on equipment operation

Loaded and empty bins

Personal protective clothing and equipment

Communication systems and equipment

Housekeeping standards and procedures

Workplace information recording systems, requirements and procedures
