Unit of Competency MEM05024B - Perform welding supervision
Description This unit covers instructing and qualifying welders in accordance with weld procedures, and maintaining quality and safety procedures.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application Competencies in this unit are based on wide knowledge of welding science, processes, procedures and technical requirements. Individuals working in this field would hold at least one certificate satisfying the requirements of Australian Standard 1796 Certificate 1-9. The supervision, training and qualification of welders in welding procedures is defined by recognised codes and standards e.g. Australian Standard 2214 and Australian Standard 1796 Certificate 10.Band: BUnit Weight: 12
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide appropriate supervision to welding tasks and outcomes. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.

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

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.

This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with applying a wide knowledge of welding science, processes, procedures and technical requirements to the supervision process or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.

Method of assessment

Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.

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

Look for evidence that confirms skills in:

individuals working in this field would hold at least one certificate satisfying the requirements of Australian Standard 1796 Certificate 1-9.

welding to the procedure being supervised

providing training to welders on welding procedures

communicating to welders on welding requirements

planning of weld procedures

writing workplace welding procedures, recording information on proformas and other workplace documents/reports

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of:

welding science, principles and effects of heat treatment

welding terms, codes and symbols

welding processes, parameters and relation to weld quality

welding procedures defined by code and technical requirements

non-destructive testing

any applicable industry standards, national/Australian standards, NOHSC guides, State/Territory regulatory codes of practice/standards

use and application of personal protective equipment for welding supervision

safe work practices and procedures

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.

Procedure

As defined by the relevant codes and/or standards

Documentation

As defined by the relevant codes and/or standards

Traceability

The materials used in a nominated weld can be traced to their source in accordance with standard operating procedures

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.
