Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

CPCCDE4001A - Plan and prepare for activities on demolition sites

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Assess demolition site and scope of work.

  1. Demolition plan is reviewed and site inspected to evaluate size and complexity of demolition tasks.
  2. Concurrent work of other construction teams is assessed and communication channels established or confirmed.
  3. Site access and egress and traffic management plan are assessed, and additional provisions or changes negotiated as required.
  4. Provisions for site storage and amenities are assessed and additional provisions or changes arranged as required.
  5. General site work health and safety (WHS) and environmental requirements are confirmed and applied to planning.
  6. Regulatory compliance requirements are confirmed and applied to planning.
  7. HAZMAT audits are arranged prior to demolition work start date and findings are applied to planning.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

This unit of competency could be assessed by reviewing the planning and preparation for individual demolition activities in the workplace or a close simulation of the workplace environment, provided that simulated or project-based assessment techniques fully replicate construction workplace conditions, materials, activities, responsibilities and procedures.

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

A person should demonstrate the ability to plan and prepare for individual demolition tasks on two different large demolition projects, one of which must involve structures or installations above 15 metres, including:

interpreting and applying to planning:

contractual requirements

relevant legislation, regulations, codes and standards, including WHS, environmental and quality requirements

inspecting demolition sites for existing hazards and risks and applying relevant risk management strategies to planning

planning demolition tasks to ensure:

efficient use of resources

timely completion of tasks to required standards

preparing safe work method statements for different demolition tasks in consultation with relevant personnel

briefing team members to ensure understanding of requirements.

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.

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.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

learning skills to:

assimilate past experience to develop and implement solutions to problems

respond to change, such as differences in quality standards required by clients

numeracy skills to:

calculate resource requirements

schedule tasks

oral communication skills to:

conduct team briefings and direct staff

develop and maintain relationships with clients and other relevant personnel

reading skills to interpret contractual documentation

writing skills to prepare safe work method statements

Required knowledge

contract management strategies

customer service strategies

demolition procedures, techniques and safety requirements

demolition site inspection procedures

hazards and risks existing or arising on demolition sites and relevant risk management strategies

legislation, regulations, codes and standards relating to different stages of the demolition process

plant, tools and equipment required for demolition tasks, including:

permits and licences required

safe operating procedures

project management strategies

quality management strategies

team leadership strategies

Range Statement

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.
