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.
Critical aspects of evidence
Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information
Apply safe handling requirements for equipments, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment, safety and environmental protection equipment.
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:
minimise the risk of injury to self and others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
As a minimum, de-frame and document five items of 2 and/or 3 dimensional framed artwork of various media and era
Work effectively with others
Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment
Resource implications
Artwork for dismantling, work instructions, tools, equipment, standard operating procedures and work area.
Method of assessment
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.
Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency which form a part of the job role.
Context of assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant dismantling equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
