Performance Evidence

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

There must be evidence that the individual has implemented a rice flour grading process for at least three rice grain varieties, including:

accessed and interpreted workplace information to identify rice flour grading processing requirements

confirmed supply of necessary materials and services

conducted pre-start checks, started, operated, monitored and adjusted process equipment to achieve required outcomes

selected, fitted and used personal protective equipment

followed workplace health and safety procedures

monitored control points and conducted inspections to confirm process remains within specification

taken corrective action in response to out-of-specification results

monitored supply and flow of materials to and from the rice flour grading process

diagnosed common faults, and rectified or reported equipment failure within level of responsibility and according to workplace procedures

completed records according to workplace procedures

maintained work area to meet housekeeping standards.
