This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to carry out routine cleaning and maintenance of draining systems.

It applies to individuals who work under general supervision and exercise limited autonomy with some accountability for their own work. They undertake defined activities and work in a structured context.

No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Element	Performance criteria
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1. Inspect drainage systems	1.1 Confirm the work to be undertaken 1.2 Check personal protective equipment for serviceability and correct fit 1.3 Identify work health and safety hazards associated with the activity and take appropriate steps to minimise risks to self and others 1.4 Inspect drainage system visually for blockages, leaks and operating faults
2. Maintain system components	2.1 Inspect components for wear or blockage 2.2 Service mechanical equipment 2.3 Replace simple components
3. Remove silt and weed growth	3.1 Clean silt from channels, drains, sumps and crossings 3.2 Remove weed growth 3.3 Flush drainage system 3.4 Observe water flow through channels and from outlets to confirm it is unobstructed
4. Record and report maintenance activities	4.1 Record blockage or leakage by type and location of the section of the system affected 4.2 Record and report damaged or faulty equipment 4.3 Record and report all routine maintenance activities 4.4 Check drainage system regularly

The candidate must be assessed on their ability to integrate and apply the performance requirements of this unit in a workplace setting. Performance must be demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts.

The candidate must provide evidence that they can:

inspect and maintain simple drainage system components

inspect components for wear

monitor and control weeds and silt build up

record and report damage, blockages and leakages

The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:

principles and practices of drainage system maintenance:

disposal procedures for chemical containers and residues, oils, grease and used parts

drainage system cleaning procedures

environmental impacts of drainage system maintenance

equipment used to clean and maintain drainage systems

manual, mechanical and chemical weed control methods

types of drainage systems

Assessors must satisfy current standards for RTOs.

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
