Elements and Performance Criteria

RANGE STATEMENT
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Procedures
Procedures may be written, verbal, computer-based or in some other form. They include:
all work instructions
standard operating procedures
formulas/recipes
batch sheets
temporary instructions
any similar instructions provided for the smooth running of the plant

For the purposes of this Training Package, 'procedures' also includes good operating practice as may be defined by industry codes of practice (e.g. Responsible Care) and government regulations

All work will comply with procedures
Modification/design requirements
Modification/design requirements may include (but is not restricted to) the following factors:
production,
facility,
OHS
sustainability
Design concepts
Design concepts may include (but are not restricted to) the following requirements:
process,
material,
quantity,
cost and
outcome
Design limitations
Design limitations may be determined from (but are not restricted to) the following as applicable:
codes,
regulations and
technical documentation
Design
Design activities relate to processes which are based on established principles and practices, and that require modifications determined by experience and analysis
Activities may involve (but are not limited to):
design research and consultation with internal or external specialists
assessment and evaluation of design concepts
design implementation and testing of modifications
Applicable regulations and legislation
Applicable regulations and legislation may include (but are not limited to):
occupational health and safety legislation and regulation relevant to workplace activities
relevant Australian design standards
workers' compensation legislation and regulation
environmental legislation and regulations
industry codes of practice
Australian (or other) Standards
Appropriate action
Appropriate action includes:
determining problems needing action
determining possible fault causes
rectifying problem using appropriate solution within area of responsibility
following through items initiated until final resolution has occurred
reporting problems outside area of responsibility to designated person
Health, safety and environment (HSE)
All operations to which this unit applies are subject to stringent HSE requirements, which may be imposed through state, territory or federal legislation, and these must not be compromised at any time. Where there is an apparent conflict between Performance Criteria and HSE requirements, the HSE requirements take precedence

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
Assessment for this unit of competency will be in a work environment or a simulated work environment.
Assessment must confirm appropriate knowledge and skills to:
establish design/modification requirements
assess design and modification options
organise implementation of design/modification
ensure work meets specifications
apply workplace health and safety policies in work operations
maintain accurate records

Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment. This requires access to real or appropriately simulated situations involving the design of equipment and system modifications for applications within a manufacturing context.

This includes real or simulated work areas, materials, equipment, and information on work specifications, manufacturer's instructions, relevant safety procedures and regulations, quality standards, organisation procedures and customer requirements.

Method of assessment

Guidance information for assessment
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
