Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Analyse order to identify work requirements | 1.1. Order is analysed to identify work requirements within Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) regulations, environmental and safe working requirements/practices, Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), and housekeeping requirements 1.2. Order requirements are interpreted 1.3. Required schedules for dispatch are identified 1.4. Products from order are identified 1.5. Workplace and product knowledge is used to plan sequence of work 1.6. Appropriate materials handling equipment is selected within timeframe for the dispatch |
2. Prepare goods for dispatch | 2.1. Goods are prepared for dispatch within OHS regulations, environmental and safe working requirements/practices, SOP, and housekeeping requirements 2.2. Goods for dispatch are selected, checking against product knowledge, labels and other identification systems 2.3. Products are sorted, assembled and placed in storage or dispatch zones, in accordance with schedule 2.4. Orders are placed in storage or dispatch zones in accordance with schedule 2.5. Order is checked against dispatch schedule and order form |
3. Dispatch product | 3.1. Product is dispatched within OHS regulations, environmental and safe working requirements/practices, SOP, and housekeeping requirements 3.2. Load requirements are communicated to carrier 3.3. Products are loaded for dispatch using appropriate materials handling equipment 3.4. Damaged product are identified and processed during loading 3.5. Checks are made with the carrier to confirm the load has been secured |
4. Finalise documentation | 4.1. Finalisation of documentation is completed within OHS regulations, environmental and safe working requirements/practices, SOP, and housekeeping requirements 4.2. Final check of documentation is completed 4.3. Security seals are attached as required |

Evidence Required
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 | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Evidence should be relevant to the work. It should satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include consideration of: the required knowledge and skills tailored to the needs of the specific workplace applicable OHS regulations, environmental and safe working requirements/practices, SOP and housekeeping requirements applicable aspects of the range statement practical workplace demonstration of skills in storing and dispatching waste paper |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | A workplace assessment must be used to assess: the application of required knowledge on the job the application of skills on the job, over time and under a range of typical conditions that may be experienced in storing and dispatching waste paper Access to the full range of equipment involved in storage and dispatch operations in a pulp or paper mill is required |
Method of assessment | A combination of assessment methods should be used. The following examples are appropriate for this unit: observation of applied skills and knowledge on the job workplace demonstrations via a mock-up or simulation that replicate part/s of the job answers to written or verbal questions about specific skills and knowledge third-party reports from relevant and skilled personnel written evidence e.g. log sheet entries, checklist entries, test results Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and in keeping with the language and literacy capacity of the learner and the work being performed. This includes conducting an assessment in a manner that allows thoughts to be conveyed verbally so that the learner can both understand and be understood by the assessor (e.g. use plain English and terminology used on the job) A holistic assessment with other units relevant to the pulp and paper industry, mill and job role is recommended Additional information on approaches to assessment for the pulp and paper industry is provided in the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package |
