The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, , the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package. |
1 | Critical aspects of evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessment must confirm appropriate knowledge and skills to: |
a | Plan cargo loading and unloading operations across a representative range of typical cargo handling contexts for a vessel up to 80 metres in length: |
b | Ensure compliance with all required safety, environmental and hazard control precautions and procedures when planning the handling of cargo during loading/unloading and stowage operations |
c | Identify typical cargo handling problems and hazards and plan for appropriate action |
d | Communicate effectively with others when developing a cargo operations plan |
| |
2 | Evidence required for demonstration of consistent performance | a | Performance is demonstrated consistently over a period of time and in a suitable range of contexts |
b | Consistently applies underpinning knowledge and skills when |
| 1 | planning cargo loading and unloading operations |
| 2 | identifying and evaluating cargo handling problems and determining appropriate courses of action |
| 3 | determining stress levels that may occur during cargo loading and unloading operations |
| 4 | assessing operational capability of cargo handling equipment |
| 5 | specifying safety precautions to be used during cargo loading and unloading operations |
c | Shows evidence of application of relevant workplace procedures, including: |
| 1 | relevant maritime regulations |
| 2 | OH&S regulations and hazard prevention policies and procedures |
| 3 | job procedures and work instructions |
| 4 | relevant manufacturer's guidelines relating to the use of cargo handling machinery, including instructions on equipment capability and limitations |
d | Action is taken promptly to report and/or rectify accidents and safety incidents in accordance with statutory requirements and company procedures |
2 | Evidence required for demonstration of consistent performance (continued) | e | Work is completed systematically with required attention to detail |
f | Recognises and adapts appropriately to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions between crew and others |
| |
3 | Context of assessment | a | Assessment of competency must comply with the assessment requirements of the relevant maritime regulations |
b | Assessment of this unit must be undertaken within relevant marine authority approved and audited arrangements by a registered training organisation: |
| 1 | As a minimum, assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate written/oral examinations, and |
| 2 | Appropriate practical assessment must occur: |
| | i | at the registered training organisation; and/or |
| | ii | on an appropriate working or training vessel |
| |
4Specific resources required for assessment | Access is required to opportunities to: |
a | monitor and supervise suitably simulated cargo loading/unloading operations over an appropriate range of cargo handling situations, weather and operational conditions; and/or |
b | monitor and supervise the actual cargo loading/unloading operations of a vessel |
