Evidence Guide

Underpinning skills and knowledge

Assessment must include evidence of the following knowledge and skills:

general knowledge of the bump in/bump out process for different types of production, including typical procedures and processes and the roles and responsibilities of different personnel

general knowledge of the typical physical elements used for different types of production

typical locations for different physical elements within a production venue

safe manual handling techniques and the broader safety issues associated with the movement of physical elements

relevant organisational and/or legislative Occupational Health and Safety requirements

packing materials and techniques used for different types of equipment

techniques for loading and stowing equipment for safe transportation

the range of tools commonly required during the bump in/bump out process

literacy skills sufficient to read simple work instructions, equipment lists and safety directions

numeracy skills sufficient to count/tally equipment and other physical elements.

Linkages to other units

This unit has linkages to a range of other general and specialised technical units, and combined assessment and/or training with those units may be appropriate, for example:

MEM18.1A B - Use hand tools

Critical aspects of evidence

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:

knowledge of safe manual handling techniques for various types of equipment

ability to move, pack and load equipment under instruction using safe manual handling techniques.

Method and context of assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

practical demonstration of skills through the packing, loading and positioning of physical elements required in a given production

involvement of and interaction with a team during the bump in/bump out process.

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

direct observation of the candidate packing, loading or unloading equipment during a bump in/bump out

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of equipment types and features, safety issues

case studies or problem solving exercises to assess the candidate's ability to respond to different operational situations and contexts

review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the job performance by the candidate.

Resource requirements

Assessment of this unit requires access to:

a venue or location for bump in/bump out

a range of equipment typically used for a production

transportation into which equipment can be loaded.
