Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills required to prepare work sites. The ability to follow work instructions, use a range of equipment and tools to prepare a safe work site and subsequently to restore the site to the required condition is essential to satisfactory performance.This unit applies to those working as field and operational staff performing a wide range of functions that support construction, maintenance and operations processes.The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to, particularly those related to WHS and manufacturer specifications.Those undertaking this unit would work under supervision, performing routine tasks, in mostly familiar contexts.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Competency should be assessed in an actual workplace or in a simulated environment, with access to equipment and infrastructure appropriate to the outcome. Competency should be demonstrated over time to ensure the candidate is assessed across a variety of situations.

Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.
