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.

Competency is to be demonstrated by the safe and effective operation of the particular hand and power tools listed within the range of variables statement relative to the work orientation.

(1) Critical Aspects and Evidence

It is essential that competence is observed in the following aspects:

compliance with Occupational Health and Safety regulations and State/Territory legislation

applicable to work place operations.

compliance with organisational policies and procedures including Quality Assurance requirements.

correct procedures carried out prior to and during the application of construction process.

safe and effective operational use of tools, plant and equipment, and effective communication.

(2) Pre-requisite Relationship of Units

This unit of competency is dependent upon acquiring the relevant pre-requisite competencies in basic industry and basic stream skills.

(3) Underpinning Knowledge and Skills

Knowledge

A knowledge of:

workplace and equipment safety requirements and relevant OH&S legislation

portable power tools

hand tools and equipment

materials

materials handling whilst operating tools

Quality Assurance

Skills

The ability to:

work safely to instructions

apply appropriate hand eye coordination in the use of tools

handle material during operation of tools

select material

apply Quality Assurance

communicate effectively

(4) Resource Implications

The following resources should be made available:

general construction materials appropriate to the construction process

plant and equipment appropriate to the construction process

suitable work area appropriate to the construction process

appropriate OH&S resources

(5) Method of Assessment

Competency should be assessed through direct observation and questions related to underpinning knowledge.

Competency of this unit may be determined concurrently, based upon project work.

Competency shall be assessed while work is undertaken under general guidance, checking at various stages of the process and at the completion of the activity against the performance criteria and specifications.

(6) Context of Assessment

Competency shall be assessed in the normal or simulated workplace environment and in accordance with safe work procedures.

Assessment shall include those aspects that are consistent with the work environment of this unit.

Competency shall be assessed while work is undertaken autonomously, within a team environment.

Assessment may be intermittent checking at the various stages of the job application in accordance with the performance criteria, or may be at the completion of the process.

Guidelines will be in line with statutory requirements, enterprise specific policies and procedures and codes of practice.
