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 using any of the EWP's 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:

demonstrate compliance with Occupational Health and Safety regulations applicable to work place operations.

show compliance with organisational policies and procedures including quality assurance requirements.

correct procedures carried out prior to, during and after the use of Elevating Work Platform

demonstrate safe and effective operational use of plant, tools and equipment

demonstrate safe and effective work application while in set elevated position

interactive communication with other to ensure safe and effective workplace operations

(2) Pre-requisite Relationship of Units

Competency in this unit may be determined concurrently with other units relevant to the work orientation, based upon integrated project work.

Pre-requisites for this unit are:

BCG1001A Carry out OH&S requirements

BCG1005A Use hand and power tools

BCG1006A Use small plant and equipment

(3) Underpinning Knowledge and Skills

Knowledge

A knowledge of:

workplace and equipment safety requirements relative to EWP's

a range of EWP's

operation and maintenance of equipment

use of hand and power tools

drawings and specifications

communication processes - verbal and signalling

materials and material fixing

Skills

The ability to:

work safely to instructions

interpret drawings and specifications

use hand tools

use plant and equipment

fix materials

communicate effectively

(4) Resource Implications

The following resources should be made available:

appropriate Elevating Work Platform

plant and equipment appropriate to the EWP

hand tools and materials appropriate to the work application from the EWP

suitable work area appropriate to the operation of EWP

appropriate operation and manufacturer' s specification manual

(5) Method of Assessment

Competency shall be assessed while work is undertaken under direct supervision with regular checks, but may take the form of some autonomy when working as part of a team.

Assessment should be by direct observation of application to tasks and questioning related to underpinning knowledge.

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

(6) Context of Assessment

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

Competency is to be demonstrated by the safe and effective operation using any of the EWP's listed within the range of variables statement relative to the work orientation.
