Plan concrete work and brief team

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit of competency supports those who plan and prepare for concreting tasks. The person may be a nominated member of a team, or the team supervisor of concreters working on residential, commercial or civil construction sites.

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to assess the size and scope of a concreting job, identify the resources required to complete the project on time and within budget, and communicate requirements to team members in preparation for concreting work to commence.

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

Prerequisites

CPCCOHS2001A

Apply OHS requirements, policies and procedures in the construction industry

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

This unit of competency could be assessed by performing the mandated tasks in the workplace or a close simulation of the workplace environment, provided that simulated or project-based assessment techniques fully replicate construction workplace conditions, materials, activities, responsibilities and procedures.

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

A person should demonstrate the ability to:

predict the number of resources and time required to complete three separate concrete projects, each measuring a minimum of 100 square metres, and identify skill requirements for each project

identify and source appropriately skilled workers to complete the concreting work

brief the concreting team on the work to be completed and quality requirements of the finished work.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of this unit:

must be in the context of the work environment

may be conducted in an off-site context, provided it is realistic and sufficiently rigorous to cover all aspects of workplace performance, including task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills

must meet relevant compliance requirements.

Resource implications for assessment include:

an induction procedure

realistic tasks or simulated tasks covering the mandatory task requirements

relevant specifications and work instructions

support materials appropriate to activity.

Method of assessment

Assessment for this unit must verify the practical application of the required skills and knowledge, using a combination of the following methods:

direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions

questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application

review of relevant authenticated documentation from third parties, such as existing supervisors, team leaders or specialist training staff.

Guidance information for assessment

This unit could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units relevant to the job function.

Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support.

Assessment processes and techniques should, as far as is practical, take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed.

Submission Requirements

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

types of concrete materials

properties and behaviour of concrete in different environmental conditions

numeracy skills to calculate dimensions of pour and resource requirements
