 LMFCOR0011A Follow safe working policies and practices

(5) Method of Assessment

To ensure that the contingency management component (ability to deal with irregularities and
breakdowns) of competency is adequately assessed, evidence needs to be gathered across a
range of workplace operations and circumstances that the individual would be expected to deal
with in the workplace. This could be either in an actual workplace or in a simulation of realistic
workplace conditions.

When assessing entry-level workers, assessment techniques that allow collection of evidence
from relevant workplace experience should be used.

Techniques for assessment could include:

• observation
• simulation
• case studies
• interviews
• written tests
• workplace projects

(6) Context of Assessment

This unit should be assessed by a combination of workplace and realistic workplace simulations
and off-the-job assessment. The context of assessment should ensure that evidence relating to
the contingency management components (ability to deal with irregularities and breakdowns) of
the competency can be collected.

Evidence must include observation in the workplace as well as off-the-job techniques such as
interviews and simulations.

Conditions for simulations should:

• accurately simulate the range of activities and circumstances that the individual would be
expected to deal with in the workplace
• allow for discussion
• ensure that the relevant documents and resources are available
• in particular, evidence of ability to follow emergency procedures and contribute to
participative arrangements may be gathered through simulations
• the assessor should have recognised expertise in managing Occupational Health and Safety
in the industry or work in an assessment team with such a person

• work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative
approaches to optimise workflow and productivity
• use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area
and estimate material requirements
• use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate set-up, operating and maintenance
problems, avoid reworking and avoid wastage
• use the limited workplace technology related to lathe operations, including tools, equipment,
calculators and measuring devices

(4) Resource Implications

• access to the lathes as identified in the Range Statement

• standard operating procedures
• unprocessed materials

(5) 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.

(6) Context of Assessment

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

RANGE STATEMENT
The Range Statement provides advice to interpret the scope and context of this unit of competency,
allowing for differences between school shops and workplaces. It relates to the unit as a whole and
facilitates holistic assessment.

Work is to be carried out in accordance with statutory obligations, environmental legislation, relevant
health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements.

Work requires individuals to demonstrate discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the planning,
fabrication and installation of mirrors. This may be demonstrated either individually or in a team
environment.

Work is generally performed individually, with general supervision and may be part of a production
process.

Prepare and install mirrors involves the fabrication and installation of mirrors to satisfy customer/work
orders.

The following variables may be present for this particular unit.

Mirrors may include: OH&S requirements include:

• framed • relevant statutory requirements

• frameless • material safety management systems
• wall • hazardous substances and dangerous
