Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes a participant’s skills and knowledge required to apply the principles of demolitions in Civil construction.

This unit is appropriate for those working in supervisory or technical specialist roles.

No licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Evidence is required to be collected that demonstrates a candidate’s competency in this unit. Evidence must be relevant to the roles within this sector’s work operations and satisfy all of the requirements of the performance criteria of this unit and include evidence that the candidate:

locates and applies relevant legislation, documentation, policies and procedures

implements the requirements, procedures and techniques for the safe, effective and efficient completion of Apply the principles of demolitions including:

interpreting and applying geological, hydrological and survey data

selecting and applying demolition techniques

selecting and assigning plant and equipment

demonstrates completion of the principles of demolition that safely, effectively and efficiently meets all of the required outcomes on more than one (1) occasion including:

identifying, obtaining and allocating the necessary resources are available for the safe, effective and efficient completion of the tasks

setting out tasks as required for the effective completion of the task

monitoring demolition tasks performance to ensure it achieves the required outcomes

initiating adjustments to work practice or job plan to ensure safe execution of work and achievement of required outcomes

applying procedures for monitoring demolition tasks performance to ensure it achieves the required outcomes

preparing written reports on demolition execution

The candidate must demonstrate knowledge in apply the principle of demolitions through:

slope management

demolitions plant and equipment capabilities

plant, equipment and tools maintenance

demolitions task resource requirements and procedures

works planning techniques

demolitions monitoring methods

engineering survey principles

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 is best assessed in the context of this sector’s work environment;

where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment may occur in a simulated environment provided it is realistic and sufficiently rigorous to cover all aspects of this sector’s workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills; 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:

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
