Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:
reading and following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), safe work practices and other reference material
applying relevant standards
complying with all relevant safety requirements, including safe use of waterproofing agents, hand and power tools, and electrical equipment
interpreting work orders and following work instructions
interpreting equipment and materials instructions for the waterproofing process
preparing product to be waterproofed and setting up waterproofing equipment
performing waterproofing process according to workplace procedures to meet quality standards on at least two (2) occasions
testing product to determine if waterproofing was effective, and obtaining approval for further treatment, if necessary
performing normal operator maintenance of work area to enable work to be conducted safely and efficiently
documenting and communicating work-related information, including reporting of faults and other problems
applying workplace procedures.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
relevant Australian Standards
specific work health and safety (WHS) requirements associated with the use of volatile or toxic products
explosion and fire hazards associated with volatile solvents
waterproofing principles and techniques
types of canvas in common use
waterproofing agents commonly used
relevant quality standards for waterproofing processes
environmental requirements of relevant industry and workplace procedures
general housekeeping policies and procedures
WHS practices, including hazard identification and control measures

recording and reporting practices.
Assessors must:
satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator
have vocational competency in waterproofing canvas products, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.
Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
