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 complete a desktop assessment of the land for actual and potential ASS risk based on currentproposed land use site data and compliance issues collect and use field and test data to identify strategies to remediate and manage the site document an ASS management plan and effectively communicate it to the landowner relevant consent authority and contractors support implementation of ASS management plan by reports on materials management and remediation and site rehabilitation
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
