Evidence of the ability to:
prepare site for aerial cable support construction, ensuring all relevant authorities have been notified and approvals obtained prior to commencement
install aerial support structures using pole and wall supports, applying all related health and safety requirements and work practices
use rigging procedures, methods and equipment for working safely at heights
restore site and complete documentation.
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 as they apply to aerial cabling
recognise the features and operating requirements of cable supports and installation equipment
outline the legislation, codes of practice and other formal agreements that impact on aerial cable supports
outline the requirements for safe operation of equipment
describe the safety precautions required when working at heights
specify other health and safety requirements relating to the activity and site conditions
identify typical issues and challenges that occur on the work 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 construction of aerial cable supports may be conducted
aerial support installation equipment currently used in industry
relevant regulatory and equipment documentation that impacts on aerial cable installation activities.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
