Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the following is essential:
compliance with relevant legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and organisation policies and procedures for maintaining a safe work environment
working and communicating effectively and positively with others involved in the work
applying, within authority, the requirements of the job or work role in relation to:
use of signage and labelling in the workplace
feedback is provided to the work group on the effectiveness of the activity
achieving work quality goals
completing work area housekeeping requirements
modify activities to cater for variations in organisation context and environment.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
assessment of the competency should take place in a safe working environment in a passenger motor vehicle manufacturing plant or simulated environment using tools/equipment/machinery required for the production process without undue disruption to the production process
assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of organisation relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge
assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application
assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process
assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.
