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 |
Demonstrates knowledge of: machine operation and program selection characteristics and hazards of chemicals and dispensing systems safe handling of laundry chemicals safety and environmental aspects related to workplace and machine and equipment operation and manual handling, including consumable or hazardous materials workplace procedures OHS practices, including hazard identification and control measures procedures for clean up of spills quality practices practices for recording and reporting |
Demonstrates skills to: use and handle chemicals safely maintain quality requirements for each stage of the process communicate effectively within the workplace apply defined procedures receive and transfer information read, interpret, and follow information on work specifications , standard operating procedures and work instructions, and other reference material maintain accurate records sequence operations meet specifications clarify and check task-related information carry out work according to OHS practices |
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. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts. | |
Legislative/regulatory requirements | All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements. |
Washing requirements may include: | chemical types and dosage temperature settings water levels washing extractor program settings |
OHS practices | OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit, and may include: manual handling techniques standard operating procedures personal protective equipment safe materials handling taking of rest breaks ergonomic arrangement of workplaces following marked walkways safe storage of equipment housekeeping reporting accidents and incidents other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise |
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.
