Not applicable.

This unit describes the outcomes required to carry out fabrication associated general jobbing work. A person who has achieved competence in MEM05011C Assemble, fabricate components or equivalent is recognised as competent in this sugar milling unit.

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

Prerequisites

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

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

Assessment must be carried out in a manner that recognises the cultural and literacy requirements of the assessee and is appropriate to the work performed.

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

Evidence of ability to:

identify fabrication requirements

select, fit and use personal protective clothing and/or equipment

identify and obtain the required components, equipment and measuring instrumentation

check accuracy of component position

prepare ends for joining

identify and correct unacceptable component assembly where appropriate

Context of and specific resources for assessment

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

Fabrication equipment

Relevant measuring instrumentation

Components to be fabricated

Drawings, sketches and specifications as required

Operating procedures and related advice on equipment/instrumentation operation

Personal protective clothing and equipment

Housekeeping standards and procedures

Method of assessment

Other units of competency relevant to the work role should be assessed in conjunction with this unit.

Guidance information for assessment

To ensure consistency in one's performance, competency should be demonstrated on more than one occasion over a period of time in order to cover a variety of circumstances, cases and responsibilities, and where possible, over a number of assessment activities.

Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

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.

Required skills include:

Ability to:

identify fabrication requirements - this may involve interpretation of technical drawings and sketches or be based on measurements

select, fit and use personal protective clothing and/or equipment

identify and obtain the required components, equipment and measuring instrumentation

use appropriate equipment to position components ready for joining

check accuracy of component position using measuring instruments as required

prepare ends for joining

identify and correct unacceptable component assembly where appropriate

maintain work area to meet housekeeping standards

Required knowledge includes:

Knowledge of:

relevant state OHS legislation, standards and codes of practice relating to work responsibilities

purpose and basic principles of fabrication including knowledge of methods used to assemble and fix components and basic understanding of the effects of distortion on fabricated components

safe work procedures including awareness of health and safety hazards

use of equipment to position components to meet assembly requirements

use of instrumentation to achieve accurate measures

methods used to prepare ends for joining

appropriate joining method

typical defects that can occur given the assembly and fabrication methods used

options for correcting out-of-tolerance fabrication

housekeeping standards for the work area

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.

Policies and procedures

Work is carried out in accordance with company policies and procedures, licensing requirements, manufacturer's recommendations, legislative requirements, codes of practice and industrial awards and agreements.

Codes of practice

Codes of practice include the Sugar Milling Operations Industry Code of Practice.

Fabricated components

Components may include general fabricated components in plate, pipe and section or sheet to form 900 or 450 angles or angles formed using pre-constructed jigs.

Typical fixing/joining methods are by welding or screwing.

Materials for fabrication

Materials may include ferrous, non-ferrous and non-metallic substances.

Measuring instrumentation

Measuring instrumentation may include

squares

line levels

rulers

spirit levels.

Teamwork

Work may require the ability to work within a team environment.

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.
