identifying and interpreting specifications, data sheets, supplier catalogues and manuals for relevant tools/tooling information

undertaking stock control and ordering tools/tooling as required

performing manual handling and packing and storing engineering specialist tools/tooling

cleaning and maintaining engineering tools/tooling and protecting in accordance with manufacturers’ specifications and procedures, as required

distributing tools/tooling and completing enterprise documentation in accordance with SOPs, as required.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate the required knowledge for this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)

types and applications of engineering tooling and specialist engineering tools

methods of storing and protecting tools/tooling

ordering procedures

inventory systems

procedures for protecting store against unauthorised entry and use of tools/tooling.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must:

have vocational competency in undertaking tool store procedures at least to the level being assessed with relevant industry knowledge and experience

satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 or its replacement and comply with the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011, its replacement or equivalent legislation covering VET regulation in a non-referring state/territory as the case requires

Where possible assessment must occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment that reflects realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills

Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
