The situation

What has happened

A delivery of ten lengths of 75 by 75 by 6 millimetre grade 300 angle arrived under purchase order PO-26-1179 without the mill test certificate the order required. Kel Mackenzie has placed it in the quarantine rack under receipt REC-26-0886. Bay 1 want the angle for the stringers on a rail platform job, which is code work, so the material cannot be issued until the certificate is on file and the heat numbers are checked. At the same time a second delivery of flux cored wire has come in with a batch certificate, and the forklift used to unload steel has just been found with an expired operator licence in the training matrix.

Your brief. Follow the material receipt and traceability procedure to check the delivery, manage the quarantined angle, request the certificate, update the register, communicate the hold to the workshop and raise the forklift licence issue, so that traceable material is only issued when it is properly certified.

What to look for

Evidence guide

Check that the student compared every field of the delivery with the purchase order, kept the angle in quarantine rather than issuing it under workshop pressure, wrote a certificate request that gives the supplier enough to act, and recognised that an expired forklift licence means the forklift must not be used by that person. The manual handling plan should use mechanical aids first and team lifts second.

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.
