3.4 | Sequence of tasks and activities relevant to own work is identified and adequacy of the associated safe work method statement is reviewed by conducting a job safety analysis. |
Required skills |
communication and interpersonal skills to: contribute to the discussion of workplace hazards and risks ask effective questions collaborate with colleagues relay information to others report on WHS issues language and literacy skills to understand plans and procedures, including WHS requirements, such as: safety signs and symbols safe work method statements safe working procedures |
Required knowledge |
construction terminology hazard identification and risk control related to tilt-up work job safety analysis (JSA) and safe work method statements (SWMS) requirements for planning, preparing and carrying out the tilt-up construction process as relevant to own work, role and responsibilities safety equipment used on construction work sites stages in the tilt-up construction process WHS standards, legislative requirements and codes of practice related to tilt-up work |
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | Competency is to be assessed only after completion of the General Induction Training Program specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Evidence must confirm understanding and knowledge of the following: relevant legal responsibilities, codes of practice and standards for tilt-up construction work the range of common tilt-up construction hazards and procedures for the assessment of risks and application of the hierarchy of control an understanding of job safety analysis and safe work method statements. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | The relevant WHS authority may have specific requirements concerning the expertise necessary to be a subject expert for assessment of this unit. Assessment must be made according to any such requirements. Procedures and documentation should cover those used in the workplace. Resources must be available to support the program including: relevant standards, regulations and code of practice for tilt-up construction Australian standards AS3850 and AS3600 participant materials and other information drawings and specifications tilt-up slab related plans safe load tables safe work method statements JSA materials. A range of assessment tools and resources should be used to suit the learning preferences or special learning needs of individual participants. |
Method of assessment | Assessment methods may include more than one of the following: practical assessment oral questioning written test work-based activities problem solving scenarios simulated project based activity. |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Stages of the tilt-up construction process cover: | design and manufacture handling, storage and transportation cranage and erection temporary bracing, stabilisation and incorporation of concrete panels demolition |
National code of practice refers to: | National Code of Practice for Precast, Tilt-Up and Concrete Elements in Building Construction. |
Skills training opportunities could include completing further training, including: | CPCCBC4022A Supervise tilt-up work CPCCCO3028A Carry out tilt panel construction CPCCRI3015A Perform advanced tilt-up slab erection. |
Regulatory information includes general WHS requirements, such as: | Australian standards AS3850 and AS3600 duty holder responsibilities emergency procedures relevant standards, regulations and codes of practice for tilt-up and pre-cast concrete construction training, supervision and risk management in the context of tilt-up and pre-cast concrete construction. |
Documentation, drawings and plans include: | design provisions and drawings erection and crane drawings and documentation JSA documentation marking plan and shop drawings prefabricators and engineers' inspection reports and statements safe work method statements specifications transport management plan work plan and/or WHS management plan. |
Equipment and tools include: | bracing cranes elevated work platforms manual tools mobile scaffolding portable electric and pneumatic tools props rigging equipment rigging gear safety net and static lines. |
Hazards include anything with the potential to cause injury, harm or ill health, such as: | environmental factors, e.g. wind, temperature, noise and lighting overhead or underground services trees, buildings and structures uneven or unstable ground unstable panels during lifting. |
Safe work method statement is a statement that: | describes how safety measures will be implemented to do the work safely describes the control measures that will be applied to the work activities identifies work activities assessed as having safety risk or risks includes a description of the equipment used in the work, the qualifications of the personnel doing the work, and the training required to do the work safely states the safety risk or risks. |
Job safety analysis is: | a technique that breaks a task into steps identifies the hazards and appropriate control measures for each step. |
