Elements and Performance Criteria

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.
Impacts on the environment must include:
dust
energy use
excavation
hazardous material
material disposal
sediment
storage
stormwater quality
water use.
Impacts on public health and safety must include:
air pollution relating to:
dust
fumes
smell
change or damage to public infrastructure
hours of work
noise
vehicle movements
vibration
volume of traffic.

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 of demolition activities to minimise environmental and public health and safety impacts, and observing the supervision of the implementation of planned strategies in the workplace.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
A person should demonstrate the ability to plan and supervise the implementation of strategies to minimise environmental and public health and safety impacts on two different large demolition projects, one of which must involve structures or installations above 15 metres. The evidence shall demonstrate:
analysing potential impacts of demolition activities on the environment and on public health and safety
interpreting and applying legislation, regulations, codes and standards relating to protecting the environment and public health and safety
researching and developing strategies to minimise impacts of demolition activities on the environment and on public health and safety
monitoring demolition activities to ensure effective implementation of planned strategies.
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.
