Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:
reading and following work instructions, standard operating procedures and safe work practices, industry codes and standards
checking work against ticket information and workplace standards and preparing workstation and work prior to commencing operations
setting up splitting machine and associated equipment
carrying out basic maintenance in accordance with sops
applying splitting machine operation techniques, on at least five (5) occasions, to carry out splitting operation tasks to correct weights and meet specifications on a range of leather pieces
using weight gauges and micrometer to check finished pieces against specifications
checking the performance of the machine regularly for signs of faulty operations and taking appropriate action
despatching completed work and maintaining accurate records.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
relevant Australian Standards
procedures for operating splitting machine
characteristics of a limited range of typical leathers and synthetics used in leather goods production
quality practices and procedures
work health and safety (WHS) and environmental aspects of relevant production and assembly processes
relevant federal and state or territory legislative or regulatory requirements
recording and reporting procedures.
Assessors must:
satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator
have vocational competency in splitting leather pieces, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.
Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
