Overview of assessment

This unit of competency could be assessed by observation of the finalisation of demolition activities and supervision of property handover in the workplace.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

A person should demonstrate the ability to oversee the finalisation of two different large demolition projects, one of which must include structures or installations above 15 metres, from the stage where all structures have been demolished, including underground structures, and up to satisfactory handover of the site to the client or their representative. The person should demonstrate the ability to:

interpret and apply:

contractual requirements

relevant legislation, regulations, codes and standards including WHS, environmental and quality requirements relevant to the finalisation of demolition tasks and property handover

plan demolition finalisation tasks to ensure:

efficient use of resources

timely completion of tasks to required standards

brief and direct team members to ensure timely completion of tasks to required standards

audit and monitor site for existing and arising hazards and risks and implement relevant risk management strategies

liaise with client and relevant stakeholders to build and maintain relationships and facilitate timely completion of project

prepare relevant documentation for property handover.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of this unit:

must be in the context of the work environment

must meet relevant compliance requirements.

Resource implications for assessment include:

an induction procedure

realistic tasks covering the mandatory task requirements

support materials appropriate to activity, including:

access to industry information relating to legislation, regulations, codes and standards

contractual information and work specifications

human resources and plant, tools and equipment appropriate to the tasks.

Method of assessment

Assessment for this unit must verify the practical application of the required skills and knowledge, using a combination of the following methods:

direct observation of tasks in real work conditions

questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application

review of relevant authenticated documentation from third parties, such as existing managers or specialist training staff.

Guidance information for assessment

This unit could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units relevant to the job function.

Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support.

Assessment processes and techniques should, as far as is practical, take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed.
