Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to interpret vision system plans, install equipment and conduct pre-production/event checks in accordance with the plans. The National Standard for Licensing Persons Performing High Risk Work applies to persons performing dogging and rigging work. Completion of the following units is required for certification at either basic, intermediate or advanced levels.CPCCLDG3001A Licence to perform doggingCPCCLRG3001A Licence to perform rigging basic levelCPCCLRG3002A Licence to perform rigging intermediate levelCPCCLRG4001A Licence to perform rigging advanced level.Sets and staging for some performances or events may fall within the definition of construction work. If so, people entering a construction site are required to complete the general induction training program specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction Training for Construction Work (Australian Safety Compensation Council, May 2007).Achievement of the unit 'CPCCOHS1001A Work safely in the construction industry' fulfils this requirement.

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 following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:
technical knowledge of the operating functions of a range of audiovisual equipment
correct interpretation of vision system plans
knowledge of occupational health and safety principles, procedures and regulations.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
The assessment context must provide for:
the installation and testing of a variety of vision systems, including sound, lighting and projection equipment
completion of installation and testing tasks within typical workplace time constraints
installation and testing of equipment according to more than one plan to ensure that skills can be adapted to different contexts and vision system requirements
use of industry-current equipment.
Method of assessment
Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess practical skills and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:
direct observation of installation and testing tasks conducted by the candidate
project or role play activities which allow the candidate to demonstrate skills in interpreting plans and choosing correct equipment
written or oral questioning to test knowledge of typical vision systems
written or oral questioning to test knowledge of occupational health and safety issues and regulations
review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the job performance by the candidate.
Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).
Guidance information for assessment
Assessment of this unit requires access to:
vision system plans
a range of standard industry-current vision systems
a venue where vision systems can be installed and tested.
