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
Locate, interpret and apply information relevant to the requirements of the goods to be moved or stored
Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment
Plan layout of storage areas
Interpret regulations and workplace order requirements
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:
minimise the risk of injury to self or others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
Establish and maintain storage areas for:
raw materials
production outputs
Use a range of non-regulated materials handling devices
Work effectively with others
Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource Implications
Storage area, manual materials handling equipment, products/materials for storage.

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.

Context of Assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
