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
Assessment must be carried out in a manner that recognises the cultural and literacy requirements of the assessee and is appropriate to the work performed. Competence in this unit must be achieved in accordance with food safety standards and regulations.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of ability to:
identify routine maintenance tasks for machine or equipment
monitor operation and identify need for maintenance tasks
schedule maintenance tasks and communicate requirements with affected personnel
select and use appropriate hand tools to undertake routine maintenance
assess readiness for returning machine or equipment to operation or referring for further attention
complete maintenance documentation
apply safe work practices and identify OHS hazards and controls.

Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must occur in a real or simulated workplace where the assessee has access to:
personal protective clothing and equipment
tools, equipment and supplies used in minor routine preventative maintenance
routine maintenance and lubrication schedules and procedures
equipment to be maintained
housekeeping standards and procedures
maintenance information recording system and procedures.

Method of assessment
This unit should be assessed together with core units and other units of competency relevant to the function or work role.

Guidance information for assessment
To ensure consistency in one's performance, competency should be demonstrated on more than one occasion over a period of time in order to cover a variety of circumstances, cases and responsibilities, and where possible, over a number of assessment activities.
