Performance Evidence
An individual demonstrating competency must satisfy all of the elements and performance criteria in this unit. There must be evidence that the individual has demonstrated the following steps of the bird receival and hanging process at least once:
- confirmed availability of materials including live poultry for hanging
- selected, fitted and used appropriate personal protective equipment
- conducted pre-start checks on machinery used for receiving and hanging birds
- started, operated, monitored and adjusted bird receival and hanging equipment to achieve required quality outcomes
- taken corrective action in response to typical faults and inconsistencies
- completed workplace records in required format
- applied safe work practices and identified work health and safety hazards and controls
- safely shut down bird receival and hanging equipment
- applied food safety procedures to work practices.
Knowledge Evidence
An individual must be able to demonstrate the knowledge required to perform the tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit. This includes knowledge of:
- basic principles of bird handling, including humane treatment of birds; conditions that stress birds; and environmental design features to minimise stress, such as airflow, humidity and temperature controls
- acceptable time from bird receival to bird processing and consequences of delays in processing on product quality
- the flow of the receival and hanging process on further processing or packing stages to produce a final product
- basic operating requirements of equipment used in the bird receival and hanging process and corrective action required where operation is outside specified operating parameters
- typical equipment faults and related causes, including signs and symptoms of faulty equipment and early warning signs of potential problems
- methods used to monitor the receival and hanging process, including monitoring that the receival process is paced to deliver birds to processing and/or packing areas without delay, bird condition is acceptable, the receival environment is appropriate and birds are shackled correctly
- consequences of poor receival and hanging on product quality
- work health and safety hazards and controls associated with the bird receival and hanging process
- environmental issues and controls relevant to the receival and hanging process, including procedures for disposing of dead or unfit birds
- requirements of different shutdowns as appropriate to the receival and hanging process and workplace production requirements, including emergency and routine shutdowns, and procedures to follow in the event of a power outage
- requirements for recording and reporting production and performance information
- typical workplace receival documentation and related load identification procedures.
Assessment Conditions
Assessment of skills must take place under the following conditions:
- a poultry production workplace or an environment that accurately represents workplace conditions
- resources, equipment and materials:
- personal protective clothing and equipment
- receival, and hanging process and related equipment and services
- birds to use in the process
- workplace information recording system
- work procedures, including advice on safe work practices, food safety, quality and environmental requirements
- information on equipment capacity, control points and operating parameters
- production schedule/batch instructions
- recording requirements and procedures.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
