identifying and applying relevant specifications to all work activities
identifying, addressing and reporting potential hazards and risks
selecting and checking for faults all plant, tools and equipment to carry out tasks
identifying, addressing and reporting environmental issues
works effectively with others to undertake and complete APGS that meets all of the required outcomes including:
preparing for and organising work activities to meet all task requirements
communicating clearly and concisely with others to receive and clarify work instructions
using a range of communication techniques and aids to advise others of work activity and exclusion zones
monitoring movements and hazards and identifying and communicating changes to the work environment during the work process
demonstrates completion of the use of automated paving guidance systems that safely, effectively and efficiently meets all of the required outcomes on more than one (1) occasion including:
setting up automated paving guidance system as per project specifications
operating automated paving guidance system
conducting shutdown operations
cleaning, checking, maintaining and storing total stations as per worksite requirements and manufacturer’s instructions
the conduct of APGS operations are to cover as a minimum:

demonstrate ability to adjust paver (six (6) times):
two (2) times horizontal (one (1) positive, one (1) negative)
Two (2) times vertical (one (1) positive, one (1) negative)
Two (2) times combination of above
The candidate must demonstrate knowledge in using automated paving guidance systems through:
accessing, interpreting and applying the organisation and site requirements and procedures for:
identifying and managing risks
identifying, addressing and reporting environmental issues
setting up work activity
work health and safety
selecting and checking for faults, tools and equipment to carry out tasks
applying effective techniques in using automated paving guidance systems
An assessor of this unit must satisfy the requirements of the NVR/AQTF or their successors; and Industry regulations for certification and licensing; and,
this unit must be assessed in the context of this sector’s work environment; and,
this unit must be assessed in compliance with relevant legislation/regulation and using policies, procedures, processes and operational manuals directly related to the industry sector for which it is being assessed; and,
assessment may be conducted in conjunction with the assessment of other Units of Competency; and,
assessment must confirm consistent performance can be applied in a range of relevant workplace circumstances; and,
assessors must demonstrate the performance evidence, and knowledge evidence as outlined in this Unit of Competency, and through the minimum years of current* work experience specified below in an Industry sector relevant to the outcomes of the unit; or,
where the assessor does not meet experience requirements a co-assessment or partnership arrangement must exist between the qualified assessor and an Industry subject matter expert. The Industry subject matter expert should hold the unit being assessed (or an equivalent unit) and/or demonstrate equivalence of skills and knowledge at the unit level. An Industry technical expert must also demonstrate skills and knowledge from the minimum years of current work experience specified below in the Industry sector, including time spent in roles related to the unit being assessed; and,
assessor and Industry subject matter expert requirements differ depending on the Australian Qualifications Framework Level (AQF) of the qualification being assessed and/or Industry Sector as follows:
Industry sector | AQF** Level | Required assessor or Industry subject matter expert experience |
Drilling, Metalliferous Mining, Coal Mining, Extractive (Quarrying) and Civil Construction | 1 | 1 Year |
2 | 2 Years |
Drilling, Coal Mining and Extractive (Quarrying) | 3-6 | 3 Years |
Metalliferous Mining and Civil Construction | 3-6 | 5 Years |
Other sectors | Where this Unit is being assessed outside of the Resources and Infrastructure Sectors assessor and/or Industry subject matter expert experience should be in-line with industry standards for the sector in which it is being assessed and where no Industry standard is specified should comply with any relevant regulation. |
*Assessors can demonstrate current work experience through employment within Industry in a role relevant to the outcomes of the Unit; or, for external assessors this can be demonstrated through exposure to Industry by conducting frequent site assessments across various locations.
**Where a unit is being delivered outside of a Qualification the first numeric character in the Unit code should be considered to indicate the AQF level
