Evidence of the ability to:
haul underground cable to industry standards
restore site and complete documentation
comply with all related safety requirements and work practices.
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 Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) regulation requirements for Telecommunications Cabling Provider Rules
recognise the features and operating requirements of hauling equipment
identify legislation, codes of practice and other formal agreements that impact on hauling
outline the manufacturer’s requirements for safe operation of hauling equipment
specify health and safety requirements relating to the hauling and site conditions
identify typical issues and challenges that occur on the worksite.
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 installation of underground cable may be conducted
installation equipment currently used in industry
relevant regulatory and equipment documentation that impacts on cable installation activities.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
