Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Develop an analysis plan with supervisor
  • Liaise with client or sample provider to determine test requirements and sample characteristics
  • Match sample provided to accompanying documentation and report any discrepancies in accordance with workplace procedures
  • Confirm suitable sample preparation methods, quantification and analytical techniques with supervisor
       
Element: Reduce the complexity of the sample
  • Obtain a representative analytical portion of the laboratory sample
  • Prepare validation checks for analytical portions
  • Use workplace procedures to simplify the sample matrix
  • Conduct tests to ensure that sample preparation is complete
       
Element: Apply quantification method
  • Add modifiers to remove or minimise interferences
  • Conduct preliminary analysis to estimate analyte concentration
  • Match the concentration of analyte in the sample with the working range of the instrument
  • Prepare calibration standards to suit quantification method
  • Set up and optimise instruments to suit sample and test requirements
  • Measure analyte response for standards, validation checks and samples
  • Conduct sufficient measurements to obtain reliable data
  • Return instruments to standby or shutdown condition in accordance with workplace procedures
       
Element: Process, analyse and record data
  • Confirm data is the result of valid measurements
  • Perform required calculations and ensure results are consistent with estimations and expectations
  • Record results with the appropriate accuracy, precision units and uncertainty
  • Analyse trends in data and/or results and report out-of-specification or atypical results promptly to appropriate personnel
  • Troubleshoot analytical procedure or equipment problems which have led to atypical data or results
  • Follow procedures to ensure traceability of sample from receipt to reporting of results

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.
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.
