Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Elements Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold and italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section. |
1. Identify methods of controlling hazards to stormwater and wastewater drainage systems | 1.1 Storage methods for parts and components containing environmentally hazardous materials are identified 1.2 Trapping, storing and disposal procedures for liquid wastes are identified 1.3 Actions are identified that prevent waste from entering either stormwater or wastewater drainage systems 1.4 Uses of a spill kit are identified |
2. Identify methods of protecting air quality and controlling noise hazards | 2.1 Methods of minimising airborne particles, gases and fumes are identified 2.2 Methods of containing airborne particles, gases and fumes are identified 2.3 Methods of minimising noise are identified 2.4 Methods of insulating noise from immediate environment are identified |
3. Identify general workplace sustainability practices | 3.1 Methods of minimising waste are identified 3.2 Methods of sorting and storing items for recycling or disposal are identified 3.3 Methods to reduce resource consumption are identified |
This section specifies work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.
There is no Range of Conditions for this unit.
Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standards defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria and foundation skills:
identify the environmental and sustainability best practices of one automotive service and repair workplace.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
types of waste produced by automotive repair workplaces, including:
vehicle wastes, including:
coolants
oils
exhaust emissions
evaporative fuel emissions
waste components, including tyres
noise
workplace wastes, including:
cleaning materials
paper waste
procedures for controlling hazards to stormwater and wastewater drainage systems, including:
trapping, storing and disposing of fluids released from vehicles
trapping spills, including the use of spill kits
preventing hazards entering stormwater and wastewater drainage systems, including grease traps and triple interceptors
procedures for protecting air quality and controlling noise hazards, including:
minimising the emission of airborne particles, gases, fumes and noise
containing and redirecting airborne particles, gases and fumes
insulating noise from automotive workshops
procedures for minimising waste
procedures for sorting and storing items for recycling or disposal
procedures for reducing resource consumption, including water, electricity, fossil fuels and chemicals.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the automotive repair workplace in which they have identified environmental and sustainability best practices, e.g. company name, address and workshop supervisor.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace that complies with current state or territory environmental regulations.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
