stimulus with a walk-through forming part of the response. These assessment
activities should include a range of problems, including
new, unusual and improbable situations that may have happened.
2. Resource Implications Specific resources for assessment
2.1 Evidence of competent performance should be obtained by
observing an individual in an information management role within the
workplace or operational or simulated environment.
3. Method of Assessment Competency in this unit may be assessed through:
3.1 Written Test
3.2 Interview
3.3 Portfolio

The unit will be assessed in a holistic manner as is practical and may be

integrated with the assessment of other relevant units of competency.
Assessment will occur over a range of situations, which will include
disruptions to normal, smooth operation. Simulation may be required to
allow for timely assessment of parts of this unit of competency. Simulation
should be based on the actual workplace and
will include walk through of the relevant competency components.
4. Context of Assessment 4.1 In all workplaces, it may be appropriate to assess this unit
concurrently with relevant teamwork or operation units.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

BRINE SALINITY Refers to the salt solutions ranging from about 3.5% (a
typical concentration of seawater, on the lower end of that of
solutions used for brining foods) up to about 26% (a typical
saturated solution, depending on temperature).
BRINE WELL Used to mine salt from caverns or deposits.
DEBRIS Solid Waste resulting from land-clearing operations. It
includes, but is not limited to, stumps, wood, brush, leaves,
soil, and road spoils.
DIKES A barrier used to regulate or hold back water from a river,
lake, or even the ocean.
EVAPORATOR AREA An area where the liquid state of matter is converted into a
gaseous state of matter in the presence of heat.
PACKAGING A materials used to wrap or protect goods.
SALT A white crystalline substance that gives seawater its
characteristic taste and is used for seasoning or preserving food.
SALT CRYSTALLIZER Provides high purity salt for chemical grade, pharmaceutical
or food grade salts.

SLUICE GATES Refers to a movable gate allowing water to flow under it.
Usually, a mechanism drives the sluice up or down.
