Required Skills
Required skills |
Specific skills are required to achieve the performance criteria in this unit, particularly for the application in the various circumstances in which this unit may be applied. This includes the ability to carry out the following as required to implement site services and infrastructure systems: apply legislative, organisation and site requirements and procedures access, interpret and apply: technical information briefings and handover details site/legislative requirements records and reports apply hazard identification and risk management processes apply work planning and coordination requirements and procedures apply training needs analysis procedures interpret and apply manufacturer instructions apply maintenance and modification systems implementation requirements and procedures |
Required knowledge |
Specific knowledge is required to achieve the performance criteria of this unit, particularly its application in a variety of circumstances in which the unit may be used. This includes knowledge of the following as required to implement site services and infrastructure systems: legislative, Australian standards and site specific requirements emergency response and disaster planning processes and techniques audit review process and techniques site procedures site design relating to site services and infrastructure systems energy sources, including electrical, hydraulic, compressed air, diesel safety design features of site services and infrastructure systems computer based systems training programs fire fighting systems and precaution rules safety design features for maintenance of site services and infrastructure systems maintenance and modification systems stores systems roadway maintenance and drilling protection systems reticulation systems specifications for site services and infrastructure |
Evidence Required
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 | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to worksite operations and satisfy all of the requirements of the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge and the range statement of this unit and include evidence of the following: knowledge of the requirements, procedures and instructions for implementing site services and infrastructure systems implementation of procedures and techniques for the safe, effective and efficient implementing of site services and infrastructure systems the identification of the relevant information and scope of the work required to meet the required outcomes the identification of viable options and the selection of options that best meet the required outcomes working with others to undertake and complete the implementation of site services and infrastructure systems consistent successful implementation of site services and infrastructure systems |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | This unit must be assessed in the context of the work environment. Where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment may occur in a simulated environment provided it is realistic and sufficiently rigorous to cover all aspects of workplace performance, including task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the participant. For example, language, literacy and numeracy demands of assessment should not be greater than those required on the job. Customisation of assessment and delivery environment to sensitively accommodate cultural diversity. Aboriginal people and other people from a non English speaking background may have second language issues. Assessment of this competency requires typical resources normally used in a civil works environment. Selection and use of resources for particular worksites may differ due to site circumstances. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities. Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required. |
Method of assessment | This unit may be assessed in a holistic way with other units of competency. The assessment strategy for this unit must verify required knowledge and skill and practical application using more than one of the following assessment methods: written and/or oral assessment of the candidate's required knowledge observed, documented and/or first hand testimonial evidence of the candidate's: implementation of appropriate procedures and techniques for the safe, effective and efficient achievement of the required outcomes identification of the relevant information and scope of the work required to meet the required outcomes identification of viable options and the selection of options that best meet the required outcomes consistently achieving the required outcomes first hand testimonial and documentary evidence of the candidate's: working with others to undertake and complete the implementation of site services and infrastructure systems provision of clear and timely required support and advice on the implementation of site services and infrastructure systems |
