Assessment requirements

Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to LMTLA2004A Perform linen rewash

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 and other reference material
• complying with relevant standards
• recognising, identifying and assessing the range of common stains normally encountered
• using machines and related equipment, including dispensing and dosing systems according to directions
• selecting and determining appropriate rewash requirements for at least two (2) applications
• preparing and using chemicals safely
• completing linen rewash safely and efficiently, to quality standards, on at least two (2) occasions
• monitoring process operation
• applying workplace procedures.

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
• characteristics of stains, their relevant identification procedures and removal techniques
• machine operation, program selection and monitoring procedures:

• manual handling
• safe handling of chemicals
• preparation of chemical products
• preparation of dispensing systems
• quality control requirements

• characteristics and hazards of chemicals and dispensing systems
• infection control policies and procedures
• workplace procedures
• work health and safety (WHS) and environmental aspects related to workplace and machine and equipment operation and manual handling, including consumable or hazardous materials
• practices for recording and reporting.

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 linen rewash, 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.
