Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Prepare for drainage system installation activities
  • The construction site for the drainage system and construction method is identified according to the site and drainage system plans and enterprise work procedures.
  • Materials, tools, equipment and machinery are selected according to drainage system design requirements and enterprise work procedures.
  • Pre-operational and safety checks are carried out on tools, equipment and machinery according to manufacturer's specifications and enterprise work procedures.
  • Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) hazards are identified, risks assessed and risk controls implemented.
  • Suitable safety and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) are selected, used and maintained.
       
Element: Co-ordinate installation work
  • Enterprise work team, contractors and design consultants are identified and work tasks are co-ordinated in a sequential, timely and effective manner in consultation with the supervisor.
  • Installation of the drainage system is undertaken according to OHS requirements and with due consideration of the environmental implications and relevant legislation and regulations.

Element: Prepare the site for installation of drainage system
  • Symbols and terminology are interpreted to ensure the concept of the drainage system plan is clearly understood according to industry practice.
  • Layout of services is identified, depths checked against the site or drainage system plan and discrepancies are reported to the supervisor and the relevant authority.
  • Survey, measurement and marking out of the site and confirmation of soil characteristics relevant to the planned drainage system are completed according to plan specifications and enterprise work procedures.
       
Element: Undertake installation of drainage system
  • Excavations are completed without damage to services, facilities, features and established plants according to plan specifications and enterprise work procedures.
  • The drainage system is installed according to the drainage system plan and enterprise work procedures.
  • The drainage system is tested for configuration, flow rates and capacity consistent with the drainage system plan and according to enterprise work procedures.
  • The supervisor is consulted and remedial action is taken when the drainage system operation does not meet the plan specifications.
       
Element: Complete installation of drainage system
  • Earthworks are finished off to the plan specifications and enterprise work procedures.
  • The site is restored and waste material is removed from the site and disposed of in an environmentally aware and safe manner according to enterprise work procedures.

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

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

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

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following:

interpret site specifications and drainage system plans

prepare for installation activities

set out, survey, test and excavate the installation site

measure materials

set out drainage system works

install and test the drainage system

level and align earthworks.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances.

Submission Requirements
