This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to set up, operate and maintain water delivery systems for composting.

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. Prepare to set up a water delivery system	1.1 Confirm details of location 1.2 Select and use hoses, tools and equipment and components 1.3 Identify appropriate water sources on site 1.4 Identify workplace health and safety hazards associated with task 1.5 Select and use appropriate personal protective equipment 1.6 Measure and mark out water delivery lines 1.7 Set up water delivery system
2. Operate a water delivery system	2.1 Commence water delivery 2.2 Set water application rate 2.3 Check all pipes, hoses and all joints and confirm they are secure and leak free 2.4 Check and operate pumps
3. Check the efficiency of a water delivery system	3.1 Check the water application rate and distribution 3.2 Inspect water delivery system for operating faults and dry areas 3.3 Look for variations from required rate or settings, leaks, operating faults and dry areas at any stage in process 3.4 Carry out remedial action 3.5 Record the amount of water delivered to location

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:

identify hazards and adopt safe work practices

interpret site water management plan and site operating plan or map

observe faults and variations from required settings

operate pumps

record water application data

set out and operate watering systems

The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:

principles and practices compost water delivery systems

characteristics and operation of joints, hoses, valves and sprinkler components

components of water delivery system

methods and techniques of water delivery

procedures for safe use of equipment, such as powered and hand tools, as used in water delivery system maintenance

reporting and recording requirements

standard industry risk-control measures to minimise risk associated with setting up and operating a water delivery system

workplace health and safety and environmental legislation and enterprise requirements

Assessors must satisfy current standards for RTOs.

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.
