Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit applies to workers who are required to carry out the actions specified on erosion and sediment control plans.

This unit covers the construction/installation and maintenance of a range of measures specified on erosion and sediment control plans and defines the standard required to: select and prepare equipment; confirm the details of work; identify survey pegs and site indicators; construct earthworks in line with the plan; install erosion and sediment control products and materials; carry out repairs and maintenance procedures.

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

Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.




Evidence Required

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.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following:

select and prepare equipment

confirm the details of work

identify survey pegs and site indicators

construct earthworks in line with the plan

install erosion and sediment control products and materials

carry out repairs and maintenance procedures.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances.

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.

Required knowledge

materials cartage pollution control

sequence of working and timing/duration

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) issues relating to the equipment and the site

equipment used

construct, install and maintain includes materials, quantity and where to source them on site

construction/installation techniques for all measures on the plan

limitations of structures including timing of maintenance, structure life cycle, specifications and standards

environmental impacts and procedures for erosion and sediment control.

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole.

Erosion control measures may include:

site management

land shaping

batter stabilisation

banks and channels

level spreader

revegetation

waterways

check dams

bank and channel linings

grade stabilising structures

outlet protection structures

stormwater detention measures

dust control

Sediment control measures may include:

sediment basins

sediment traps

sediment filters

excavated sediment traps

straw bale

stormwater inlet sediment traps

sediment fence

straw bale

geotextile fabric

vegetation strips.

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.

Observation Checklist

Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice Yes No Comments/feedback
Erosion and sediment control plan and schedule of works match site conditions. 
Survey pegs and site indicators are identified on site. 
Equipment and tools are matched to program works and terrain on site. 
Work readiness of selected equipment and tools are verified in line with contractor policy. 
Materials are selected to complete proposed works in line with construction schedule. 
Earthworks are constructed in accordance with details specified in the plan and to industry standards. 
Erosion and sediment control products and materials are installed in accordance with manufacturer's recommendation and industry guidelines and plans.
