Performance Evidence

An individual demonstrating competency must satisfy all of the elements and performance criteria in this unit.

There must be evidence that, on at least one occasion, the individual has:

conducted pre-start checks on machinery used for grain conditioning

selected, fitted and used personal protective equipment

started, operated, monitored and adjusted process equipment to achieve required quality outcomes

taken corrective action in response to typical faults and inconsistencies

completed workplace records as required

applied safe work practices and identified work health and safety hazards and controls

safely shut down equipment

applied food safety procedures to work practices.

Knowledge Evidence

purpose and basic principles of the conditioning process

basic operating principles of equipment, including:

main equipment components

status and purpose of guards

equipment operating capacities and applications

the purpose and location of sensors and related feedback instrumentation

services required and action to take if services are not available

the flow of the conditioning process and the effect of outputs on downstream flour milling processes

quality characteristics to be achieved by the conditioning process

quality requirements of materials and effect of variation on conditioning process performance

types of grain and their qualities

microbiological considerations in conditioning grain

operating requirements and parameters and corrective action required where operation is outside specified operating parameters

typical equipment faults and related causes, including:

signs and symptoms of faulty equipment

early warning signs of potential problems

methods used to monitor the conditioning process, including inspecting, measuring and testing as required by the process

inspection or test points (control points) in the conditioning process and the related procedures and recording requirements

contamination and food safety risks associated with the conditioning process and related control measures, including potential risks associated with out-of-specification lying times of conditioned grain

common causes of variation and corrective action required

work health and safety hazards and controls

requirements of different shutdowns as appropriate to the conditioning process and workplace production requirements, including:

emergency and routine shutdowns

procedures to follow in the event of a power outage

isolation, lock out and tag out procedures and responsibilities

procedures and responsibility for reporting production and performance information

environmental issues and controls relevant to the conditioning process, including waste and rework collection and handling procedures related to the process

basic operating principles of process control, where relevant, including the relationship between control panels and systems and the physical equipment

routine maintenance procedures for operating a grain conditioning process

cleaning and sanitation procedures for operating a grain conditioning process.

Assessment Conditions

Assessment of skills must take place under the following conditions:

physical conditions:

a grain processing workplace or an environment that accurately represents workplace conditions

resources, equipment and materials:

personal protective clothing and equipment required to set up, operate and monitor grain conditioning equipment and processes

types of grain for conditioning

grain conditioning additives

sample workplace records

production schedule and batch instructions

conditioning process and related equipment and services

specifications:

grain conditioning orders

work procedures, including advice on safe work practices, food safety, quality and environmental requirements

information on equipment capacity and operating parameters.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
