What specific knowledge is needed to achieve the performance criteria | Knowledge and understanding are essential to apply this standard in the workplace to transfer the skills to other contexts and to deal with unplanned events The knowledge requirements for this competency standard are listed below awareness of irrigation andor drainage installation procedures and the care needed in laying soil profiles to accommodate and work around these installations awareness of the structural relationship between a wellconstructed soil profile and the achievement of enterprise standards for the quality and appearance of the turf to be established on the profile particularly in relation to the end use of the turf surface awareness of the environmental implications associated with disturbing and installing soil profiles such as disturbance level noise dust and water runoff and the exacerbation or prevention of the contamination of ground water salination erosion and interruption to existing native ecosystems awareness of the potential public nature of soil profile construction activities and the hazards and responsibilities associated with working in a publicly accessible situation the effect of adverse outdoor climatic conditions eg rain hail days of extreme heat andor wind or very high ultraviolet radiation which may prevent or impede construction programs or influence the selection of tools machinery and safety equipment to reduce the hazards presented Knowledge and understanding are essential to apply this standard in the workplace, to transfer the skills to other contexts, and to deal with unplanned events. The knowledge requirements for this competency standard are listed below: 1. awareness of irrigation and/or drainage installation procedures and the care needed in laying soil profiles to accommodate and work around these installations 2. awareness of the structural relationship between a well-constructed soil profile and the achievement of enterprise standards for the quality and appearance of the turf to be established on the profile, particularly in relation to the end use of the turf surface 3. awareness of the environmental implications associated with disturbing and installing soil profiles, such as disturbance level noise, dust and water run-off, and the exacerbation or prevention of the contamination of ground water, salination, erosion and interruption to existing native ecosystems 4. awareness of the potential public nature of soil profile construction activities and the hazards and responsibilities associated with working in a publicly accessible situation 5. the effect of adverse outdoor climatic conditions (e.g., rain, hail, days of extreme heat and/or wind, or very high ultraviolet radiation), which may prevent or impede construction programs, or influence the selection of tools, machinery and safety equipment to reduce the hazards presented.

What specific skills are needed to achieve the performance criteria | To achieve the performance criteria appropriate literacy and numeracy levels as well as some complementary skills are required These include the ability to participate in teams and contribute to team objectives communicate effectively with team members and supervisors read understand and interpret written instructions and work procedures measure distances and calculate depth area volume and capacity accurately minimise noise dust high activity vehicle traffic and water runoff to prevent nuisancelevel environmental disturbance To achieve the performance criteria, appropriate literacy and numeracy levels as well as some complementary skills are required. These include the ability to: 6. participate in teams and contribute to team objectives 7. communicate effectively with team members and supervisors 8. read, understand and interpret written instructions and work procedures 9. measure distances and calculate depth, area, volume and capacity accurately 10. minimise noise, dust, high activity vehicle traffic and water run-off to prevent nuisance-level environmental disturbance.
