List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Determine job requirements | 1.1 | Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) |
| 1.2 | Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times |
| 1.3 | Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs |
| 1.4 | Identify job requirements from specifications, job sheets or work instructions |
|
2 | Prepare woolskins for wool removal | 2.1 | Identify or confirm appropriate woolskin process |
| 2.2 | Assess hair loosening by machine or by manual process using sweating, enzyme or chemical painting processes |
| 2.3 | Check effectiveness of wool removal at completion of process |
|
3 | Pull wool | 3.1 | Assess preparation for manual or machine operation |
| 3.2 | Remove wool from skins by machine or manually |
| 3.3 | Check outcome of the process to ensure effectiveness |
| 3.4 | Direct wool and skins to correct areas for next process or storage |
|
4 | Maintain records | 4.1 | Maintain documentation at each stage of the process to expedite movement through the various phases of treatment |
| 4.2 | Complete records |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:
reading and following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), safe work practices, industry codes and standards
applying relevant standards
identifying and performing woolskin preparation on at least two (2) occasions
conducting sweating, enzyme, or chemical painting processes in accordance with procedures on at least two (2) occasions
using machine or manual processes to loosen and pull wool to meet specifications on at least two (2) occasions
documenting all stages of the process
maintaining accurate records.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
relevant Australian Standards
industry and product processes and equipment
characteristics and hazards of chemicals and other materials used on woolskins or in the process
preparation procedures and fellmongering procedures
quality standards and manual handling procedures
work health and safety (WHS) and environmental aspects of relevant organisation processes
relevant federal and state or territory legislative or regulatory requirements
recording and reporting procedures.
Assessors must:
satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator
have vocational competency in performing fellmongering processes, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.
Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
