Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency covers the response to, and management of, a major sustainability non-conformance which may have arisen through the action, or non-action, of the organisation or its value chain members, or due to a change in the external environment. A major non-conformance is one which could have severe business impacts. It may be applied to an entire organisation, part of a large organisation, or part or all of a value chain.This unit covers the recognition of a major non-conformance and then the devising and implementation of a strategy and tactics to contain the situation, not allowing it to accelerate or cascade and minimise the adverse consequences while doing what can be done to remedy the situation. The organisation’s environment, for the purpose of this unit, is considered to include the ecology it impacts, the economic impacts on the organisation and the social impacts of the organisation.Typical situations might include a:process or equipment failure somewhere along the value chain which has the potential to cause adverse sustainability impactschange in legislation or regulation which will see the organisation in breachchange in requirements from a customerchange in supply quality from a suppliersocial attitude change which affects in either a positive or negative manner business prospects or the business operating environment.A manager or senior technologist who has a significant sustainability responsibility work role would typically undertake it. Skills covered by this unit may be applied individually or in a team context.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. The unit should be assessed holistically and the judgement of competence shall be based on a holistic assessment of the evidence. The collection of performance evidence is best done from a report and/or folio of evidence drawn from: a single project which provides sufficient evidence of the requirements of all the elements and performance criteria multiple smaller projects which together provide sufficient evidence of the requirements of all the elements and performance criteria. Assessment should use a simulated major non-conformance based on real/realistic incidents which have occurred in that or other industries. Assessment should be run using a ‘war gaming’ model where the simulated non-conformance has a defined start and additional information becomes available as the exercise progresses. This may be a ‘desk top’ exercise and is best run with the team of individuals who would need to respond and may occur in an ‘incident room’ or could be run using digital communication and information. The incident should be progressively elaborated as the exercise progresses, and may, or may not be completed within one day. Knowledge evidence may be collected concurrently with performance evidence or through an independent process such as workbooks, written assessments or interviews (provided a record is kept). Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate. Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance of the unit and should not be assessed separately. Assessors must satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment as set by the VET regulator. The assessor must demonstrate both technical competency and currency. Technical competence can be demonstrated through: relevant VET or other qualification/Statement of Attainment AND/OR relevant workplace experience Currency can be demonstrated through: performing the competency being assessed as part of current employment OR having consulted with an organisation providing relevant environmental monitoring, management or technology services about performing the competency being assessed within the last twelve months. |
