Evidence Required

Competency is to be demonstrated by carrying out the effective application of the different types of levelling devices listed within the range statement relative to the work orientation

Critical Aspects of Evidence

It is essential that competence is observed in the following aspects

demonstrate compliance with Occupational Health and Safety regulations applicable to workplace operations

indicate compliance with organisational policies and procedures including Quality Assurance requirements

carry out correct procedures prior to and during application of levelling and boning processes

demonstrate safe and effective handling and operational use of levelling device

indicate care in accurately transferring levels to other locations

interactive communication with others to ensure safe and effective levelling operations

Prerequisite Relationship of Units

Underpinning Knowledge and Skills

workplace and equipment safety requirements

measurement and calculation

Quality Assurance

range of levelling devices

horizontalvertical concepts

work safely to instructions

communicate effectively

Resource Implications

The following resources should be made available

general construction materials appropriate to levelling

hand tools appropriate to levelling and lining

equipment appropriate to the activity processes

suitable work area appropriate to the activities
