PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1

Determine site functions and operations

1.1

Layout of storage facilities, work flow and activities undertaken in each zone are identified

1.2

Hazards are identified, risks are assessed and control measures are implemented

1.3

Type of storage facilities, their purpose and associated risk factors are identified

1.4

Inventory lists are accessed through record management system

1.5

Storage separations and co-storage applications are identified

2

Monitor storage operations

2.1

Inventory data is confirmed to match goods/freight and applicable storage requirements

2.2

Storage areas are supervised to ensure movement of personnel and goods/freight are in accordance with workplace procedures

2.3

Storage facilities are checked to ensure appropriate operational capacity

2.4

Integrity of goods/materials are monitored to ensure appropriate quality is maintained

2.5

Discrepancies/changes to storage requirements and/or inventory lists are noted and action is undertaken in accordance with workplace procedures

2.6

Appropriate action/s are initiated in response to breaches of operational procedures or to an emergency/incident

2.7

Operational actions and investigative outcomes are documented in accordance with workplace procedures

applying relevant legislation and workplace procedures

communicating and working effectively with others

completing relevant documentation

monitoring equipment performance

operating and adapting to differences in equipment in accordance with operating procedures

reading, interpreting and following relevant instructions, procedures and signs

using information on products and stock to determine, plan and organise processes used for monitoring storage facilities.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

Australian codes and regulations, permit and licence requirements relevant to workplace activities

equipment applications, capacities, configurations, safety hazards and control mechanisms

operational work systems, equipment, management and site operating systems

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

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.

Resources for assessment include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals

relevant materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry.
