EVIDENCE GUIDE
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment section in Section B of the accreditation submission.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria of this unit and include demonstration of:
calculate the mass and dimension of work function pertaining to the job role using fractions, percentages and mixed numbers
demonstrate the calculation of a load limit
interpret and analyse a workplace mathematical symbol
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Performance is demonstrated consistently over a period of time and in a suitable range of contexts
Resources for assessment include:
a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulated practical and knowledge assessment, and/or
access to an appropriate range of relevant operational situations in the workplace
In both real and simulated environments, access is required to:
relevant and appropriate materials and equipment
applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals
Method of assessment
As a minimum, assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate assessments using written, practical and oral assessments
Practical assessment must occur:
through activities in an appropriately simulated environment consistent with current industry practice, and/or
in an appropriate range of situations in the workplace
