Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to locate burial sites, arrange their preparation, conduct final inspection prior to burial, and arrange and carry out reinstatement requirements. It applies to cemetery staff responsible for coordinating burial sites according to work health and safety, relevant legislation and workplace policies and procedures.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Skills must be demonstrated in the workplace or in a simulated environment that is as industry realistic as possible. In a simulated environment, it is essential that assessment is conducted:

using suitable facilities, equipment and resources, including:

a range of burial sites within a cemetery or other burial environment

lowering or lifting equipment, burial markers and personal protective equipment

documentation, including work orders and site identification details

under industry operating conditions where there is:

integration of tasks with possible interruptions to work typical of the job role

speed and timing requirements that reflect commercial operating conditions

interaction with relevant personnel

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