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.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of ability to:
apply workplace information to calculate zero hour
amend daily schedule bin allotments and bin allocations
monitor work progress and respond to update schedule
use communication systems and equipment
confirm resources and personnel are available to meet amended schedule
demonstrate workplace procedures for reallocating cane bin deliveries to harvesters
maintain workplace records
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must occur in a real or simulated workplace where the assessee has access to:
Transport system and associated information and communication systems and equipment
Relevant codes of practice and industry standards
Workplace information required to assess, adjust and monitor work progress against schedule
