How can information be collected, analysed and organised? Example of Application Ideas and information, verbal and written, are communicated in simple English to determine work requirements and interpret documentation and drawings Collect, organise, interpret and understand information from documentation and specifications to determine cutting tool dimensions Performance Level Australian National Training Authority 005 DRAFT 3

4 How are activities planned and organised? How is team work used within this competency? How are mathematical ideas and techniques used? How are problem solving skills applied? How is use of technology applied? Select and set up grinder and conduct sharpening activities in the correct sequence to complete within designated timeframes Effective communication and interpersonal techniques are used to verify and clarify work requirements. Mathematical ideas and techniques are used to estimate and measure dimensions Monitoring and adjusting grinder to surfaces to avoid overheating or burning of tool surfaces Select and use workplace technology to record and report identified faults or malfunctions of equipment RANGE STATEMENT The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording in the Performance Criteria is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.

6 EVIDENCE GUIDE The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package. Overview of assessment Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit Context of, and specific resources for assessment Method of assessment A person who demonstrates competency in this standard must be able to provide evidence that they can accurately determine cutting tool dimensions and select and set up appropriate grinding equipment to sharpen cutting tools using safe workplace practices and procedures Compliance with OH&S, environmental, and organisational/site policies and procedures, and State/Territory legislation applicable to sharpening cutting tools Determine cutting tool dimensions Select and set up grinder and attachments Safely sharpen cutting tools Apply effective communication techniques and safe work practices in the work area The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements The following resources should be made available: - workplace location or simulated workplace - materials and equipment relevant to sharpening cutting tools - specifications and work instructions Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Forest and Forest Products Industry Training Package Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge Assessment must be by direct observation of tasks, with questioning on underpinning knowledge and it must also Australian National Training Authority 005 DRAFT 6

7 reinforce the integration of key competencies Assessment methods must confirm the ability to access and correctly interpret and apply the essential underpinning knowledge Assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency, including those listed above Australian National Training Authority 005 DRAFT 7
