Apply environmental regulations in the marine service industry

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


Work involves the normal activities of a marine maintenance and service workshop.

Competency may be demonstrated in workplaces involved in the maintenance and service of marine vessels, components and electrical systems and components and painting of marine vessels.

Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements.

Work requires individuals to demonstrate discretion, judgement and problem-solving skills in undertaking environmentally sound work practices.

This unit of competency covers the competency required to apply environmental regulations and avoid potential hazards in the maintenance and service of marine vessels.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.



Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment

Apply environmental regulations and best practice

Identify materials used in the maintenance, service and repair process and assess their environmental impact

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage and wastage of goods, equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

Conduct operator maintenance on tools and equipment to ensure environmental efficiency

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment

Use of a spill kit.

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines

Access to a marine maintenance and service workshop with access to marine vessels requiring servicing and maintenance of components and/or systems, including the removal and application of anti-foulants, recycling bins, liquid, sludge and solid wastes

Resources may include, pressure washing and facilities for the use of recycled water.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace contexts

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge

Assessment should be conducted over time and should be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency

Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role.

communicate ideas and information to ensure all work is undertaken in accordance with environmental best practice, coordination of work with site supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities, including the preparation of equipment and materials and the selection of an appropriate worksite to avoid environmental contamination, backtracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to minimise wastage, optimise workflow and productivity

use planning, checking and inspection techniques to avoid environmental contamination and wastage

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements and estimate material requirements required for the work

use the workplace technology related to environmental protection measures

Required knowledge

Required knowledge includes:

aspects of environmental legislation and its implications to work being undertaken

characteristics and potential environmental impact of products used in the maintenance, repair and service of marine vessels, components and electrical systems

philosophy of prevent, reduce, reuse, recycle

procedures for reporting machinery faults and material defects

internal reporting procedures for significant environmental damage occurring in the workplace

awareness of the environmental effects of tributylin, arsenic, mercury and DDT on the marine environment

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

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.
