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 preparation and installation of the various pipe types as listed in the range of variables statement relative to the work orientation.

(1) Critical Aspects of 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 during construction

safe and effective operational use of tools, plant and equipment and communications to undertake safe pipelaying

(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 including relevant legislation regulations and codes.

competence equipment.

hand tools and equipment.

materials and handling methods.

measurements

levelling

hand signals

Quality Assurance

workplace communication

Skills

The ability to:

work safely to instructions

use power tools and hand tools

handle material

select material

measure

level

apply Quality Assurance

communicate effectively

(4) Resource Implications

The following resources should be made available:

general construction materials relevant to civil construction works

hand and power tools, plant and equipment appropriate to the civil construction process

suitable work area appropriate to the civil construction process

suitable plan/specifications relevant to the work orientation

(5) Method of Assessment

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

Competency in 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 various stages of the job application 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.
