Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessment must confirm the ability to establish and maintain a shower unit without a breach of safety, damage to the equipment, injury to personnel or pollution to the environment. Consistency in performance Competency should be demonstrated over time in a real or simulated field environment, to allow the individual to be assessed in a number of realistic scenarios to ensure consistency of performance. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Context of assessment Competency should be assessed in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment. Specific resources for assessment Access to mobile field shower system; personal protective equipment (face mask, goggles, hearing protection, impervious clothing and/or apron, gloves and boots); digging equipment (shovels and picks); tool kit (socket set, hammer, shifter and ph/chlorine sensor remover); chemicals; mixing container; measuring container; and a forklift/crane. |
