demonstrate use of specialised hand or power tools and equipment normally used for excavation, pipe, conduit installation and site restoration safely
complete the works and documentation
apply related work health and safety (WHS) requirements and work practices associated with excavation, enclosure installation and site restoration.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
describe the following elements of civil construction:
construction plant, tools and equipment operation
enclosure construction methods
foundations
plans
identify legislation, codes of practice and other formal agreements that impact on the work activity
identify the manufacturer’s requirements for safe operation of equipment
identify specific WHS requirements relating to the activity and site conditions
identify typical issues and challenges that occur on site.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the telecommunications – cabling field of work and include access to:
sites where enclosure construction may be conducted
construction equipment currently used in industry
