Unit of Competency AHCLPW303 - Construct access tracks
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to construct access tracks and clear vegetation on rural land.This unit applies to workers in land management who are required to implement erosion control principles and apply specialised earthmoving techniques to fine tolerances. Work is often carried out in varied conditions and landscapes that require operators to develop skills that are unique to this sector.All work is undertaken in accordance with relevant national, State, and local legislation and/or regulations. This unit applies to individuals who work under broad direction and use discretion and judgement in the selection and use of available resources.Licenses for vehicles and machinery may be required for this unit. Specific determination should be sought through the relevant State or Territory.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessors must satisfy current standards for RTOs.

finish track surface

clean worksite to organisational standards

operate machinery according to manufacturer and safe operating procedures

apply work health and safety practices in the context of own work

apply biosecurity measures in the context of own work

apply appropriate sustainability practices in the context of own work

The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:

erosion and sediment control standards, principles and issues that apply to the construction of the access track, including:

soils and soil formation

earthmoving principles

total catchment issues

how to manage peak water flows

subsurface and surface drainage principles and systems
