Evidence Required
Competency is to be demonstrated by the safe and effective preparation and installation of the various pipe types as listed in the range of variables statement relative to the work orientation.
(1) Critical Aspects of Evidence
It is essential that competence is observed in the following aspects:
compliance with Occupational Health and Safety regulations and State/Territory legislation applicable to work place operations
compliance with organisational policies and procedures including Quality Assurance requirements
correct procedures during construction
safe and effective operational use of tools, plant and equipment and communications to undertake safe pipelaying
(2) Pre-requisite Relationship of Units
This unit of competency is dependent upon acquiring the relevant pre-requisite competencies in basic industry and basic stream skills.
(3) Underpinning Knowledge and Skills
Knowledge
A knowledge of:
workplace and equipment safety requirements including relevant legislation regulations and codes.
competence equipment.
hand tools and equipment.
materials and handling methods.
measurements
levelling
hand signals
Quality Assurance
workplace communication
Skills
The ability to:
work safely to instructions
use power tools and hand tools
handle material
select material
measure
level
apply Quality Assurance
communicate effectively
(4) Resource Implications
The following resources should be made available:
general construction materials relevant to civil construction works
hand and power tools, plant and equipment appropriate to the civil construction process
suitable work area appropriate to the civil construction process
suitable plan/specifications relevant to the work orientation
(5) Method of Assessment
Competency should be assessed through direct observation and questions related to underpinning knowledge.
Competency in this unit may be determined concurrently, based upon project work.
Competency shall be assessed while work is undertaken under general guidance, checking at various stages of the process and at the completion of the activity against the performance criteria and specifications.
(6) Context of Assessment
Competency shall be assessed in the normal or simulated workplace environment and in accordance with safe work procedures.
Assessment shall include those aspects that are consistent with the work environment of this unit.
Competency shall be assessed while work is undertaken autonomously, within a team environment.
Assessment may be intermittent checking at various stages of the job application with the performance criteria, or may be at the completion of the process.
Guidelines will be in line with statutory requirements, enterprise specific policies and procedures and codes of practice.
