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.
This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level required for this unit.
Application of knowledge of the materials, equipment and process sufficient to recognise out of specification products, process problems and material faults.
Knowledge of organisation procedures and relevant regulatory requirements along with the ability to implement them within appropriate time constraints and work standards.
Competence includes the ability to:
apply and/or explain: impact of incorrect or faulty materials; focus of operation of work systems and equipment; correct selection and use of equipment, materials, processes and procedures; hazards of the materials and process and appropriate hazard control procedures
distinguish between causes of routine finishing faults such as: wrong raw materials/additives; incorrect quantity of materials/additives/catalyst; contaminated materials/additives/catalyst; equipment malfunctions; tool slips and mould or product inclusions.
Language, literacy and numeracy requirements
This unit requires the ability to read and interpret typical product specifications, job sheets and material labels as provided to operators.
Writing is required to the level of completing workplace forms.
Basic numeracy is also required, eg to determine that 16 units and 46units are equal to a total of 62 units.
The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Add any 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.
Where reference is made to industry codes of practice, and/or Australian/international standards, the latest version must be used.
Context
This competency applies to all operators working either independently or as part of a work team.
Procedures:
All operations are performed in accordance with procedures.
Procedures means all relevant workplace procedures, work instructions, temporary instructions and relevant industry and government codes and standards. These may include:
original manufacturer instructions and guidelines for the use of repair tools or equipment
relevant procedures relating to safe working practices prescribed for the equipment
local OHS legislation and/or regulations
site specific instructions based on production requirements.
Tools and equipment
This competency includes use of equipment and tools such as:
hand carts and trolleys
hoists/lifting equipment not requiring any special permits or licences
plastic or other filling compounds
basic hand tools required for cosmetic repairs of products
relevant personal protective equipment.
Hazards:
Typical hazards include:
spills
dusts/vapours
hazardous materials
manual handling hazards.
Problems:
'Respond to routine problems' means 'apply known solutions to a limited range of predictable problems':
inappropriate filling materials being selected and used
equipment failures
effect of weather on curing times.
variations in materials contamination of materials
separation of filling and parent materials.
Variables:
Key variables to be monitored include
understanding of the nature of the repairs to be carried out
consistency in the application of repair techniques or processes
ambient temperatures
repair material compositions and consistency
work surface cleanliness and condition.
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.
