Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

AHCSPO303A - Operate a gravity table

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Set up and prepare gravity table for use

  1. A gravity table is and set up and prepared to job requirements and confirmed against work plan.
  2. Routine pre-operational checks of the gravity table are completed to manufacturer's specifications and enterprise requirements.
  3. Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) hazards in the workplace are recognised, risk assessed and minimised according to enterprise requirements.

Operate a gravity table to process seed

  1. The gravity table is operated in a safe and controlled manner and monitored for performance and efficiency.
  2. Risks to self, others and the environment are anticipated and minimisation strategies implemented accordingly.
  3. Suitable personal protective clothing and equipment is selected, used, maintained and stored according to OHS requirements.
  4. Environmental implications associated with machinery operation are identified, assessed and reported to the supervisor.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

In order to confer competency, evidence must prove that the candidate is able to:

set up and prepare gravity table for use

operate a gravity table to process seed, and

complete and report on seed cleaning operations.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

assemble a gravity table for operation

disassemble a gravity table after operation

correctly set the air flow appropriate for the task

assess the product input and outputs of the gravity table

make adjustments to the gravity table settings to maximise the output

operate the gravity table effectively

perform basic maintenance of gravity table

use literacy skills to read, interpret and follow organisational policies and procedures, follow sequenced written instructions, record accurately and legible information collected and select and apply procedures for a range of tasks

use oral communication skills/language competence to fulfil the job role as specified by the organisation, including questioning techniques, active listening, clarifying information and consulting with supervisors as required

use numeracy skills to estimate, calculate and record routine workplace measures

use interpersonal skills to work with and relate to people from a range of cultural, social and religious backgrounds and with a range of physical and mental abilities.

Required knowledge

seed biology and damage to seed by mechanical action

the principles of gravity separation

types of gravity tables available

the adjustment and effect of airflow, oscillation and deck angle

deck types and designs and their effects on operational effectiveness

machinery safety

machine capabilities and settings

cleaning strategies.

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole.

Gravity table operations may include:

all gravity type separators using the principles of stratification which involves dividing seed into a series of graded statuses by the use of air

shake and angle to achieve a separation of seed density or specific gravity

any variation of these machines, with or without additions, to enhance performance.
