Performance Evidence

Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standards defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:

inspect and service the air braking systems of two different vehicles or machinery, including:

one air disc braking system

one air drum braking system.

Knowledge Evidence

Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to inspecting and servicing air braking systems, including procedures for:

managing and controlling brake dust

working with stored energy

environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of brake dust released from air braking systems

identification and function of major air braking components, including:

air compressor, filters, air drier, receivers and tanks

drive belts

spring brake chambers, hoses and adjusters

discs, pads, drums and linings

brake valves

brake lights

trailer brake valves

basic operation of air braking systems, including:

mechanical

pneumatic

inspection procedures for air braking systems, including:

component wear analysis

air system assessment

service and adjustment procedures for air braking systems, including:

brake adjustment

parking and emergency brake adjustment

post-service testing procedures for air braking systems, including static and dynamic testing.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.

Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the air braking systems that they have worked on, e.g. repair orders.

Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.

The following resources must be made available:

automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace

workplace instructions

manufacturer air braking system specifications

two different vehicles or machinery with air disc and air drum braking systems requiring servicing

tools, equipment and materials appropriate for inspecting and servicing air braking systems.
