Overview of assessment requirements

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit will be able to perform the outcomes described in the Elements to the required performance level detailed in the Performance Criteria The knowledge and skill requirements described in the Range Statement must also be demonstrated For example knowledge of the legislative framework and safe work practices that underpin the performance of the unit must be demonstrated

Critical aspects of evidence to be considered

The demonstrated ability to

comply with OHS regulations applicable to workplace operations and consistent with state or territory legislative requirements

communicate roadworks information clearly to team members and others

plan and supervise safe work practices in a range of environments

understand emergency procedures and appropriate responses

transfer skills to changing circumstances and environmental conditions

provide job specifications to maintain sealed roads

Context of assessment

Competency is demonstrated by performance of all stated criteria with particular attention to the critical aspects of evidence and the knowledge and skills elaborated in the Evidence Guide and within the scope of the Range Statement

Assessment must take account of the endorsed Assessment Guidelines in the Local Government Training Package

Assessment of the performance requirements in this unit should be undertaken in an actual workplace or simulated environment

Assessment should reinforce the integration of the key competencies for the particular AQF level Refer to the key competency levels at the end of this unit

Relationship to other unitsprerequisite or corequisite units

To enable holistic assessment this unit may be assessed with other units that form part of the job role

This unit of competency is dependent upon acquiring relevant prerequisite underpinning knowledge in the road construction industry

Method of assessment

Competency should be assessed through direct simulated or actual workplace activities and questions related to underpinning knowledge

Competency in this unit may be determined concurrently based upon project work

Competency may be assessed while work is undertaken under limited guidance checking at various stages of the process and at the completion of the activity against the Performance Criteria and specifications

Evidence required for demonstration of consistent performance

Evidence should be collected over a set period of time that is sufficient to include an appropriate range and variety of situations
