The Evidence Guide identifies the critical aspects, knowledge and skills to be demonstrated to confirm competency for this unit. This is an integral part of the assessment of competency and should be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, the Range Statement, and the Assessment Guidelines of the Training Package.
Critical aspects of evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Location, interpretation and application of relevant information, standards and specifications
Compliance with site safety plan, OH&S regulations and State/Territory legislation applicable to workplace operations
Compliance with organisational policies and procedures including quality requirements
Communication and working effectively and safely with others
Selection and use of fire fighting equipment to extinguish a simulated mechanical fire
Evacuation of a site through simulated response to an emergency complying with workplace procedures
Relationship to other units
Competency in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role.
Specific knowledge required to achieve the performance criteria
A knowledge of:
Site and equipment safety requirements
Personal protective equipment an clothing
Signage
Basic fire fighting equipment
Fires
Basic first aid procedures
Accidents and injuries
Company procedures
Regulations
OH&S policies and procedures
Induction procedures
Emergency response and evacuation procedures
Materials Safety Data Sheets and materials handling methods
Project quality requirements
Communication devices

JSA's/Safe work method statements
Specific key competencies, underpinning and employability skills required to achieve the performance criteria
These include a number of processes that are learned throughout work and life, which are required in most jobs. Some of these are covered by the national key competencies, although others may be added. The details below highlight how these competencies are to be applied in the attainment of this unit.
Application of the key competencies in this unit are to satisfy the nominated level in which:
Level 1 - relates to working effectively within set conditions and processes;
Level 2 - relates to the management or facilitation of conditions or processes; and
Level 3 - relates to the design, development and evaluation of conditions or process.
How will the candidate apply the following key competency in this unit? The candidate will need to:
Collect, analyse and organise information
Collect, organise, interpret and understand the information required for the preparation and application of OH&S policies and procedures, including work instructions, quality assurance procedures, manufacturers' instructions, material safety data sheets and equipment instructions Level 1
Communicate ideas and information
Communicate ideas and information in simple English to enable confirmation of work requirements, passage of information and requests to other workers during operations and the reporting and recording of work outcomes Level 1
Plan and organise activities
Plan and organise activities associated with the preparation and application of OH&S policies and procedures, including the scheduling and use of equipment, materials and tools to avoid backtracking and rework Level 1
Work with others and in a team
Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using co-operative approaches to optimise satisfaction and productivity Level 1
Solve problems
Establish safe and effective work processes which anticipate likely problems and blockages and systematically work around these to avoid or minimise reworking and avoid wastage Level 1
Use mathematical ideas and techniques
Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly calculate time to complete tasks, calculate material requirements and establish quality checks Level 1
Use technology
Use workplace technology related to determining requirements, the planning and application of OH&S policies and procedures, including the use of calculators, computers, mechanical equipment and the reporting/recording of results Level 1
The context of assessment
The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace
Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints
Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context
Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements
Methods of assessment
Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Building and Construction industry's General Construction Training Package
Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance together with application of underpinning knowledge
Assessment must be by direct observation of tasks, with questioning on underpinning knowledge and it must also reinforce the integration of key competencies
Assessment methods must confirm the ability to access and correctly interpret and apply the essential underpinning knowledge
Assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process
Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances
Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency, including those listed above
Specific resource requirements for this unit
The following resources should be made available:
workplace location or simulated workplace
materials relevant to following OH&S policies and procedures
equipment appropriate to following OH&S policies and procedures
specifications and work instructions
