Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Align work site practices with erosion and sediment control principles
   • Erosion and sedimentation legislation is adhered to at the work site as a part of contract works.
   • Procedures relating to erosion and sediment control are applied on the work site to align with industry standards.
2. Implement erosion and sediment control principles in the workplace
   • Breaches of erosion and sediment control legislation are noted and reported.
   • Industry practices for erosion and sediment control are applied in the work place.

Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following assess risks from erosion and sediment at a site assemble structures to prevent erosion and control sediment at a site carry out sediment control activities in accordance with legislation and stakeholder requirements confirm that erosion and sediment control meets enterprise requirements
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances
