Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to organise surveying field services. The unit covers planning field activities to allow for contingencies and risks, and allocating resources. The unit also covers conducting organised field service tasks relating to measuring and marking surface positions, and documenting and reporting project results. It requires some client consultation.The unit supports those who work in support positions for surveying, cartography, mapping and geographic information systems (GIS).Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements concerning the use of vehicles apply to this unit in most States. Relevant state and territory regulatory authorities should be consulted to confirm those requirements.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

The following must be present and available to learners during assessment activities:

equipment:

data measuring and recording equipment

communications equipment

computer and relevant software

safety equipment, including personal protective equipment (PPE) for field work

vehicle as required

specifications:

organisational policies, procedures and documentation relating to work health and safety

maps and site drawings

relationships with team members and supervisor:

work in a team

relationships with client:

client consultation required.

Timeframe:

as specified by project requirements.

Assessor requirements

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) current at the time of assessment.

communicate clearly with others to clarify and report project information

comply with organisational requirements when using and storing the equipment specified in the assessment conditions, and completing records and documentation

comply with health and safety requirements to:

identify potential hazards and apply risk control measures

inspect equipment to ensure it is in safe working order.

A person demonstrating competency in this unit must demonstrate knowledge of:

basic techniques for planning field services and organising a small work team

industry requirements and standards for determining and marking surface positions

organisational requirements relating to resource allocation, equipment use, and health and safety when working in the field

types and uses of spatial data obtained from:
