capacity and limitations of rigging and equipment including use of load charts

grouting bracing torquing stabilisation and fixing work practices

interpretation of plans drawings and specifications for tiltup work

National Code of Practice for Precast Tiltup and Concrete Elements in Building Construction OHS regulations and Australian standard Tiltup concrete construction as related to the supervision of tiltup work

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

This unit of competency could be assessed by demonstration of the successful supervision of a tiltup construction project

This unit of competency can be assessed in the workplace or a close simulation of the workplace environment provided that simulated or projectbased assessment techniques fully replicate construction workplace conditions materials activities responsibilities and procedures

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

It is essential that competence is demonstrated in the relevant aspects supervising the erection of one multi point precast tilt slab or one cast in situ tilt slab each of at least tonne

Competence requires full compliance with the National Standard for Construction Work and National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work Competence also needs to demonstrate a familiarity with and understanding of tiltup construction codes of practice standards regulations and approval gaining processes and their application

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability to

access and apply legislative requirements

identify OHS hazards and assess and control OHS risks associated with the tiltup construction process

prepare the site OHS management plan

plan prepare and carry out the tiltup construction process and implement state or territory legislative requirements and guidance material

identify potential hazards and interpret and apply information from plans specifications drawings and procedures

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This competency is to be assessed using standard and authorised work practices safety requirements and environmental constraints

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge will usually be conducted in an offsite context

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards requirements

Resource implications for assessment include

documentation that should normally be available in either a building or construction office

relevant codes standards and government regulations

office equipment including calculators photocopiers and telephone systems

computers with appropriate software to view D CAD drawings run costing programs and print copies

a technical reference library with current publications on measurement design building construction and manufacturers product literature

a suitable work area appropriate to the construction process

Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources and the provision of appropriate assessment support

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must

satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the Construction Plumbing and Services Training Package

include direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions with questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application

reinforce the integration of employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles

confirm that competency is verified and able to be transferred to other circumstances and environments

Validity and sufficiency of evidence requires that

competency will need to be demonstrated over a period of time reflecting the scope of the role and the practical requirements of the workplace

where the assessment is part of a structured learning experience the evidence collected must relate to a number of performances assessed at different points in time and separated by further learning and practice with a decision on competency only taken at the point when the assessor has complete confidence in the persons demonstrated ability and applied knowledge

all assessment that is part of a structured learning experience must include a combination of direct indirect and supplementary evidence

Assessment processes and techniques should as far as is practical take into account the language literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed

Supplementary evidence of competency may be obtained from relevant authenticated documentation from third parties such as existing supervisors team leaders or specialist training staff
