Assessment requirements

Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to MEM50004B Maintain quality of environment by following marina codes

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least two (2) occasions and include:

  • following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
  • identifying and conforming with marina/slipway codes and local environmental regulations to minimise risk of pollution
  • communicating observations of the effects of the management plan and recommending implementation improvements
  • identifying potential sources of pollution
  • identifying work tasks and appropriate area to perform work
  • minimising risks of pollution and containing using appropriate measures
  • collecting and disposing of pollutants according to SOPs
  • following workplace procedures for marina and slipway management.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate the required knowledge for this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

  • safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • communication procedures
  • marina and slipway environmental management
  • identification of pollutants
  • procedures to minimise risk of pollution
  • procedures for containment of pollution
  • applicable environmental legislation
  • applicable marina codes and regulations.

Assessment Conditions

  • Assessors must:
  • have vocational competency in maintaining quality of environment by following marina codes at least to the level being assessed with relevant industry knowledge and experience
  • satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 or its replacementand comply with the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011, its replacementor equivalent legislation covering VET regulation in a non-referring state/territory as the case requires
  • Where possible assessment must 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 that reflects 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
  • Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications
  • 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.
