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 identifies the critical aspects, knowledge and skills to be demonstrated to confirm competency for this unit. This is an integral part of the assessment of competency and should be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, the Range Statement, and the Assessment Guidelines of the Training Package.

Critical aspects of evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Location, interpretation and application of relevant information, standards and specifications

Compliance with site safety plan, OH&S regulations and State/Territory legislation applicable to workplace operations

Compliance with organisational policies and procedures including quality requirements

The conduct of site based dump truck operations which are to be under both wet and dry conditions and include:

transporting soil, rock and material,

static and mobile dumping,

discharging on slopes, and

discharging over edges

where at least one load is prone to hangup and one to free flow

The application of emergency procedures

The conduct of authorised operator maintenance

Communication and working effectively and safely with others

Relationship to other units

Pre-requisite units are:

BCCCM1001C Follow OH&S policies and procedures

Competency in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role

Specific knowledge required to achieve the performance criteria

A knowledge of

Dump truck types, characteristics, technical capabilities and limitations

Basic principles of soil technology for civil works

Site and equipment safety requirements

Dump truck operational techniques related to essential tasks

Processes for interpreting engineering drawings and sketches

Operational, maintenance and basic diagnostic procedures

Site isolation and traffic control responsibilities and authorities

JSA's/Safe work method statement

The context of assessment

The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated construction site

Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements

Methods of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Building and Construction industry's Civil Construction Training Package and relevant NOHSC standards where they apply

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge

Assessment must be by direct observation of tasks, with questioning on underpinning knowledge

Assessment methods must confirm the ability to access and correctly interpret and apply the essential underpinning knowledge

Assessment may be applied under project related conditions and require evidence of process

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency, including those listed above

Specific resource requirements for this unit

The following resources should be made available:

workplace location or simulated workplace

an operational dump truck
