Unit of Competency SIFCCAC006 - Manage lift and reposition or deepen operations
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to assess burial sites for their suitability for lifting and repositioning or deepening. It applies to supervisors with responsibility for assessing all aspects of lifting and repositioning or deepening requests 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 cemetery environment that allows for visual inspection of gravesites and surrounds

tools, equipment and machinery, including personal protective equipment

relevant documentation, such as cemetery records

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.
