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.

Competency is to be demonstrated by the safe and effective operation of particular small plant listed within the range of variables statement relative to the work orientation.

(1) Critical Aspects of Evidence

It is essential that competence is observed in the following aspects:

compliance with Occupational Health&Safety regulations and State/Territory legislation applicable to workplace operations

compliance with organisational policies and procedures including Quality Assurance requirements

correct procedures carried out prior to and during the application of construction process

safe and effective operational use of tools, plant and equipment and effective communication

(2) Pre-requisite Relationship of Units

This unit of competency is dependent upon acquiring the relevant pre-requisite competencies in basic industry and basic stream skills.

(3) Underpinning Knowledge and Skills

Knowledge

A knowledge of:

workplace and equipment safety requirements

portable power tools applicable to the construction process

hand tools and a range of small plant and equipment

materials

materials handling relative to small plant and equipment

Quality Assurance

workplace communication processes

Skills

The ability to:

work safely to instructions

use power tools and hand tools relevant to the construction process

handle material

apply Quality Assurance

communicate effectively

(4) Resource Implications

The following resources should be made available:

general construction materials appropriate to the construction process

hand and power tools appropriate to the construction process

small plant and equipment appropriate to the construction process

suitable work area appropriate to the construction process

appropriate OH&S resources

(5) Method of Assessment

Competency should be assessed through direct observation and questions related to underpinning knowledge.

Competency in this unit may be determined concurrently, based upon project work.

Competency shall be assessed while work is undertaken under general guidance, checking at various stages of the process and at the completion of the activity, against the performance criteria and specifications.

(6) Context of Assessment

Competency shall be assessed in the normal or simulated workplace environment and in accordance with safe work procedures.

Assessment shall include those aspects that are consistent with the work environment of this unit.

Competency shall be assessed while work is undertaken autonomously, within a team environment.
