The situation

What has happened

Tuesday morning brings two deliveries within an hour of each other. A tipper arrives with 28 tonnes of graded sand for the raw material bay and a curtainsider arrives with 12 pallets of redispersible polymer powder on purchase order PO-26-2288. The sand delivery docket shows 27.4 tonnes. Two of the polymer pallets have torn stretch wrap and one bag on the top layer is split. The polymer store has room for ten pallets and the remaining two would need to go to the overflow area near the diesel tank, which the hazardous chemicals register says is not allowed. Jarrah Coulthard is on the forklift and Lucy Anand wants the stock records updated before lunch.

Your brief. Receive both deliveries safely, inspect them against the purchase orders and specifications, record lot numbers and quantities, resolve the shortfall and damage correctly, store the materials in compliant locations and update the stock records so the records match what is on the ground.

What to look for

Evidence guide

Evidence must show the student checked documents before unloading, controlled pedestrian and truck movements, recorded lot numbers and quantities accurately, identified the shortfall and damage, and made a storage decision consistent with the hazardous chemicals register rather than the convenient option. Stock register entries must reconcile with the delivery documents.

The student's evidence summary lists every record they created or changed in the systems named above, their notes and the tasks they ticked. Verify it against the deliverables and your own assessment tool.
