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.
Overview of assessment requirements | A person who demonstrates competency in this unit will be able to perform the outcomes described in the Elements to the required performance level detailed in the Performance Criteria. The knowledge and skill requirements described in the Range Statement must also be demonstrated. For example, knowledge of the legislative framework and safe work practices that underpin the performance of the unit must be demonstrated. |
Critical aspects of evidence to be considered | The demonstrated ability to: comply with OHS regulations applicable to workplace operations and consistent with state or territory legislative requirements communicate roadworks information clearly to team members and others plan and supervise safe work practices in a range of environments understand emergency procedures and appropriate responses transfer skills to changing circumstances and environmental conditions provide job specifications to maintain sealed roads. |
Context of assessment | Competency is demonstrated by performance of all stated criteria, with particular attention to the critical aspects of evidence and the knowledge and skills elaborated in the Evidence Guide, and within the scope of the Range Statement. Assessment must take account of the endorsed Assessment Guidelines in the Local Government Training Package. Assessment of the performance requirements in this unit should be undertaken in an actual workplace or simulated environment. Assessment should reinforce the integration of the key competencies for the particular AQF level. Refer to the key competency levels at the end of this unit. |
Relationship to other units(prerequisite or co-requisite units) | To enable holistic assessment this unit may be assessed with other units that form part of the job role. This unit of competency is dependent upon acquiring relevant prerequisite underpinning knowledge in the road construction industry. |
Method of assessment | Competency should be assessed through direct simulated or actual workplace activities and questions related to underpinning knowledge. Competency in this unit may be determined concurrently, based upon project work. Competency may be assessed while work is undertaken under limited guidance, checking at various stages of the process and at the completion of the activity against the Performance Criteria and specifications. |
Evidence required for demonstration of consistent performance | Evidence should be collected over a set period of time that is sufficient to include an appropriate range and variety of situations. |

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
