Overview of assessment

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

Evidence of the ability to

undertake pre construction checks to ensure safe working environment

construct foundations according to engineering specifications

select site for hoisting equipment ensuring location is safe for the operator and the construction

preassemble structure at ground level ensuring completion of each assembled component

assemble and mount a telecommunications radio structure including temporary and permanent guy anchors

install functional and protective earthing systems following security and safety procedures

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure

site where telecommunications radio structures may be constructed

rigging and safety equipment currently used in industry

relevant regulations standards specifications and manuals

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge The following examples are appropriate for this unit

direct observation of the candidate assembling and mounting a telecommunications radio structure

oral or written questioning of the candidate to assess OHS requirements and work practices associated with constructing a telecommunications radio structure

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector workplace and job role is recommended for example

ICTCBLA Construct aerial cable supports

ICTCBL3020A Construct aerial cable supports.

Aboriginal people and other people from a nonEnglish speaking background may have second language issues

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and assessment support when required

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the oral communication skill level and language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed

In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge Questioning techniques should not require language literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency
