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.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Controlled mediums include one (1) or more of the following:

process chilling

secondary refrigerants, including:

glycol

brine

air

water

ice

Test equipment includes one (1) or more of the following:

measuring instruments/equipment for checking:

temperatures

properties

noise and vibration levels

multimeter

ampmeter

insulation resistance tester

Preventative maintenance tasks include one (1) or more of the following:

check/adjust fan belts

check/clean filters

check/clean heat exchangers (evaporator and condenser)

overhaul of major system components

cleaning of major system components

testing operation of all safety devices

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.
