All the hazards given in a relevant mineral beneficiation process are identified and described and explanations of what actions must be taken to mitigate the associated risks are included.
The physical ability to conduct risk assessments in mineral processing environments is demonstrated following all the required procedures and standards.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 2:
A description list of all the relevant stakeholders that have specific responsibilities regarding occupational health, safety and environment in a typical mineral processing operation is compiled.
All the key regulatory responsibilities of each of the stakeholders are clearly stated with relevant examples.
The regulatory responsibilities of a Process Controller are described giving detailed examples of how these responsibilities are executed on the site where the learners is employed.
The processes for enforcing regulatory and organisational requirements are identified and described and a factual indication of the consequences of non-compliance is given.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 3:
The meaning and importance of inspections are clearly explained and the purpose and importance of conducting the different types of inspections are given in accordance with the relevant regulatory requirements.
The different types of inspections that a Process Controller must do are listed and examples of how these inspections are executed on the work site are given.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 4:
The sources of occupational health, safety and environmental information are listed and it is indicated what kind of information will come from each of the sources.
Given a range of typical health, safety and environmental information, the implications of the information is explained and how it will be dealt with is indicated.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 5:
All equipment is identified and the types of equipment are indicated using a flow diagram the equipment is and physically identified on a working plant.
The flow of material through the processes is correctly identified and described, and all potential bottlenecks are indicated for a range of mineral beneficiation processes.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 6:
All the calculations required for the effective control of various metallurgical processes are correctly executed using a scientific calculator.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 7:
Descriptions, photos, video material and/or sketches are used, and the various pieces of basic equipment used in the metallurgical processes are illustrated, and all equipment is correctly identified and named.
Descriptions of the purpose of the equipment are aligned with the manufacturer’s manual and explanations of how the equipment works indicate all the key steps as set out in the standard operating procedures.
The potential consequences when the equipment is not operating optimally are clearly stated and all occupational health and safety risks are identified.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 8:
Basic alarm conditions are correctly identified and the appropriate actions are initiated.
All systems are safely accessed and the navigation between the various sections of the given plant is done according to standard operating procedures.
Plant status/integrity at various stages of the operation is identified according to the given specifications.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 9:
The required documentation and log books are accurately and neatly completed.
The control system is correctly accessed and all required reports are extracted.
All required data is captured into the system accurately and correctly.
All required communications that must be handled by the control room are executed using appropriate protocols and interpersonal behaviours, and in accordance with the standard operating procedures.
The on-going operation of the plant is maintained for at least one shift.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 10:
Interpretation of sample results is accurate and all deviations from the standard are accurately identified.
Appropriate adjustments are made to deal with the identified deviations.
All equipment and process issues during the operation are indicated in the sample results.
Identification of what can be done to deal with situations where the production targets are not being met is feasible and in line with standard operating procedures.

Integrated Assessment:
Integrated Formative Assessment:
The skills development provider will use the Curriculum to guide them on the stipulated internal assessment criteria and weighting. They will also apply the scope of practical skills and applied knowledge as stipulated by the internal assessment criteria. This formative assessment leads to entrance into the integrated external summative assessment.

Integrated Summative Assessment:
An external integrated summative assessment, conducted through the relevant Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) Assessment Quality Partner, is required for the issuing of this qualification. The external integrated summative assessment will focus on the Exit Level Outcomes and associated assessment criteria.
