Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit applies to soil conservation officers and expert plant operators who supervising on-site implementation of conservation earthworks.
This unit covers supervising on-site implementation of conservation earthworks and defines the standard required to: implement measures that will achieve the optimum efficiency of the earthmoving operation; put into practice measures that construct structurally sound earthworks; control construction to achieve specifications; instigate measures that finish earthworks to specifications.
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: implement measures that will achieve the optimum efficiency of the earthmoving operation. put into practice measures that construct structurally sound earthworks. control construction to achieve specifications instigate measures that finish earthworks to specifications. |
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 skills |

Required knowledge |
erosion and sediment control standards and principles natural areas topsoil protection and rehabilitation principles appropriate supervision techniques erosion control and design principles sediment control principles earthmoving principles principles for machine operation engagement of subcontractors/equipment, skills and expected outcomes work sequence knowledge equipment most suitable to the constructing of erosion and sediment control works quality assurance systems, processes and practices staff deployment, supervision and training OHS and environmental legislation, codes of practice and enterprise requirements. |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. | |
Types of project may include: | earthworks required as part of erosion control projects farm dam construction access track construction. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plans and specifications are reviewed and related to the works site. | |||
| Economics of operation are maximised through the deployment of trained personnel and equipment selection. | |||
| Work sequences are planned and recorded in line with proposed work schedule. | |||
| Materials are ordered to complete proposed works in line with construction schedule. | |||
| Compliance with established regulatory planning and environmental legislation is maintained. | |||
| Equipment and personnel deployment ensures structurally sound works in line with earthworks planned. | |||
| Job specifications and regulatory requirements are achieved in accordance with the plan or necessary modification. | |||
| Modified techniques are adopted to minimise the effect of site limitation in achieving job requirements. | |||
| Safe machine operations are monitored to ensure they meet relevant Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) requirements. | |||
| Progressive job checking results in achieving job specifications, contracts and targets. | |||
| Instructions to plant operators ensure high finishing standards to earthworks. | |||
| Modifications are made to job specifications in consultation with the landholder or works supervisor. |
