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 | Check to fire detection, firefighting, lifesaving and safety equipment and systems |
b | Identify typical faults in to fire detection, firefighting, lifesaving and safety equipment and systems and initiate appropriate repair or replacement action where required |
c | Check and replace consumable materials in fire detection, firefighting, lifesaving and safety equipment and systems as required |
d | Communicate effectively with others as required during maintenance of fire detection, firefighting, lifesaving and safety equipment and systems |
| |
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 | coordinating the maintenance of on-board fire detection, firefighting, lifesaving and safety equipment and systems |
| 2 | identifying and evaluating operational and maintenance problems with fire detection, firefighting, lifesaving and safety equipment and systems and determining appropriate courses of action |
| 3 | identifying and implementing improvements to maintenance procedures for fire detection, firefighting, lifesaving and safety equipment and systems |
| 4 | assessing operational capability of fire detection, firefighting, lifesaving and safety equipment and systems |
c | Shows evidence of application of relevant workplace procedures, including: |
| 1 | relevant sections of 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 fire detection, firefighting, lifesaving and safety equipment and systems, including instructions on equipment capability and limitations |
| 5 | following on-board housekeeping processes |
2 | Evidence required for demonstration of consistent performance (continued) | d | Action is taken promptly to report and/or rectify faulty fire detection, firefighting, lifesaving and safety equipment and systems in accordance with established procedures |
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 |
| |
4 | Specific resources required for assessment | Access is required to opportunities to: |
a | carry out a range of suitably simulated practical and knowledge assessments that demonstrate the skills and knowledge to coordinate the maintenance of fire detection, firefighting, lifesaving and safety equipment and systems typically used on board vessels; and/or |
b | assist in the coordination of the maintenance procedures for fire detection, firefighting, lifesaving and safety equipment and systems on board an operational vessel |
