Elements and Performance Criteria

Work involves selection, preparation and stowage of tooling and equipment, preparation of transporters and competition vehicle and loading and unloading of tooling, equipment and the competition vehicle
Preparation of the competition vehicle may include, but is not limited to removing fluids including fuel, disconnecting battery/power supply, downloading data, gear position or other requirements that may be necessary for transportation by a third party via means such as road freight, air, rail or sea

OH&S requirements include State/Territory and Commonwealth legislation, material safety management systems, controlling body requirements, manufacturer specifications and local safe operating procedures
Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations (including environmental requirements), health regulations, manual handling procedures and team insurance requirements
Work requires individuals to demonstrate discretion, judgement and problem-solving skills in the loading and unloading of tooling, equipment and the competition vehicle
Competence may be demonstrated in workplaces involved with competition vehicles or in a simulated environment

Tooling and equipment must include a competition vehicle, transporters and associated support equipment and may include lifting and materials handling equipment
Specific transportation devices, components and covers may include, but is not limited to anti-rub devices, blanking plugs (e.g. exhaust), guards, air filter covers, vehicle covers, transportation tyres and wheels

Personal protective equipment is to include closed-in shoes and may include long trousers, handling gloves and other equipment as per team procedures, legislation and OH&S requirements

Controlling body rules, category rules and supplementary regulations
Event scheduling and location details
Team procedures relating to competition vehicle transportation and security
Task instructions including worksheets, checklists, plans, drawings and designs
Team procedures relating to reporting and communication
Team procedures relating to the use of tooling and equipment
Manufacturer/component supplier specifications and application procedures for test equipment and material
Australian Design Rules and transportation legislation, (where applicable)

Critical aspects of evidence
Interpret and apply team requirements, controlling body and category rules and supplementary regulations
Correctly apply and use safety equipment and personal protective equipment

Follow task instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:

minimise the risk of injury to self or others
prevent damage to competition vehicle or equipment
achieve required outcomes within team time and quality standards

Correctly prepare, load and unload a competition vehicle and support equipment at least twice, in situations where there are variations in:

weather
day or night
terrain conditions
load lists
Work with and around other team members
Work effectively with others
Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment

Underpinning knowledge
Storage and transportation of hazardous chemicals and dangerous goods
Competition vehicle transportation preparation methods
Competition vehicle security principles
Load distribution principles
Loading and unloading techniques
Securing methods and equipment
Record keeping techniques
OH&S principles and requirements relating to manual handling and loading heavy equipment

Specific key competencies, underpinning and employability skills required to achieve the performance criteria
These include a number of processes that are learned throughout work and life, which are required in most jobs. Some of these are covered by the national key competencies, although others may be added. The details below highlight how these competencies are to be applied in the attainment of this unit.

Application of the key competencies in this unit are to satisfy the nominated level in which:

Level 1 - relates to working effectively within set conditions and processes;
Level 2 - relates to the management or facilitation of conditions or processes; and
Level 3 - relates to the design, development and evaluation of conditions or process.
How will the candidate apply the following key competency in this unit? The candidate will need to:

Collect, analyse and organise information
Collect, organise and understand information related to storage and transportation of dangerous goods and hazardous chemicals, team tool and equipment requirements and event scheduling and location details.
(Level 2)

Communicate ideas and information
Communicate ideas and information to enable organisation of tooling and equipment and reporting of progress against schedule.
(Level 1)

Plan and organise activities
Plan and organise activities including loading and unloading sequence to avoid backtracking or workflow interruptions.
(Level 1)

Work with others and in a team
Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity.
(Level 1)

Use mathematical ideas and techniques
Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements and estimate material requirements required for the work.
(Level 1)

Solve problems
Use checking and inspection techniques to maximise space utilisation.
(Level 1)

Use technology
Use workplace technology related to lifting equipment.
(Level 1)

Resource implications
Access to a competition vehicle, transporters and associated support equipment, which may include lifting and materials handling equipment as identified in the Range Statement, team procedures and securing equipment guidelines

Method of assessment
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace 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 competence

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