Assessment requirements

Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to LMTGN2005B Perform minor maintenance

Performance Evidence

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
• applying relevant standards
• starting and stopping machines and undertaking machine maintenance according to specifications, on at least two (2) occasions
• recognising fault conditions
• monitoring operating performance of machine, including machine production readings, against machine specifications
• making minor adjustments to rectify minor machine faults or problems
• completing all required tasks within job role for maintaining machine operations
• applying workplace procedures
• recording and reporting machine or product faults.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

• safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
• relevant Australian Standards
• procedures and guidelines for safe operation and maintenance of machines
• typical fault conditions and related fault-finding procedures
• basic machine maintenance and repair techniques
• cleaning and lubricating techniques
• technical specifications manuals
• quality standards and practices
• workplace procedures
• recording and reporting practices.

Assessment Conditions

• 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 minor machine maintenance, 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.
• The unit is applicable to all TCF sectors and assessment must ensure it is delivered to suit the industry it is being applied to.
