Description
This unit covers supervising on-site implementation of conservation earthworks and defines the standard required to: implement measures that will achieve the optimum efficiency of the earthmoving operation; put into practice measures that construct structurally sound earthworks; control construction to achieve specifications; instigate measures that finish earthworks to specifications.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Plan efficient implementation of works
- 1.1. Plans and specifications are reviewed and related to the works site.
- 1.2. Economics of operation are maximised through the deployment of trained personnel and equipment selection.
- 1.3. Work sequences are planned and recorded in line with proposed work schedule.
- 1.4. Materials are ordered to complete proposed works in line with construction schedule.
- 1.5. Compliance with established regulatory planning and environmental legislation is maintained.
2. Direct implementation of planned works
- 2.1. Equipment and personnel deployment ensures structurally sound works in line with earthworks planned.
- 2.2. Job specifications and regulatory requirements are achieved in accordance with the plan or necessary modification.
- 2.3. Modified techniques are adopted to minimise the effect of site limitation in achieving job requirements.
- 2.4. Safe machine operations are monitored to ensure they meet relevant Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) requirements.
3. Monitor job specification
- 3.1. Progressive job checking results in achieving job specifications, contracts and targets.
- 3.2. Instructions to plant operators ensure high finishing standards to earthworks.
- 3.3. Modifications are made to job specifications in consultation with the landholder or works supervisor.

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
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 workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following:
implement measures that will achieve the optimum efficiency of the earthmoving operation.
put into practice measures that construct structurally sound earthworks.
control construction to achieve specifications
instigate measures that finish earthworks to specifications.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances.
