Description
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required for tilt-up work induction training within the construction industry. Licensing requirements will apply to this unit of competency depending on the regulatory requirements of each jurisdiction.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Comply with tilt-up construction and risk management processes.
  • 1.1. Identify the relationship between each stage of the tilt-up construction process and the following stage, and typical faults, problems, hazards and possible effects if design and safety requirements are not met.
  • 1.2. Identify basic principles of risk management and duty holders responsible.
  • 1.3. Identify the minimum requirements for a safe work method statement for each task as outlined in the national code of practice, and the duty holder responsible for its preparation and compliance.
  • 1.4. Identify the minimum requirements for a work plan and/or OHS management plan for tilt-up construction, as outlined in the national code of practice.
  • 1.5. Identify available skills training opportunities as relevant to own work, role and responsibilities.
2. Access and use information relating to safe tilt-up construction.
  • 2.1. Identify and use regulatory information relevant to own work, role and responsibilities.
  • 2.2. Identify roles and responsibilities of self and others as relevant to own work and role in tilt-up construction.
  • 2.3. Identify and interpret general work procedures, documentation, drawings and plans for carrying out the tilt-up construction process as relevant to own work, role and responsibilities.
  • 2.4. Identify general design and safety requirements for equipment and tools used in the tilt-up construction process as relevant to own work, role and responsibilities.
3. Maintain safety of self and others.
  • 3.1. Communicate with others to establish that key design and safety requirements have been met for preceding stages of tilt-up construction.
  • 3.2. Use general procedures for responding, rectifying and reporting faults, problems and hazards as relevant to own work, role and responsibilities.
  • 3.3. Identify the methods and procedures used to control tilt-up construction hazards, including the content of the work plan and/or OHS management plan and safe work method statements as relevant to own work, role and responsibilities.
  • 3.4. Identify the sequence of tasks and activities relevant to own work and review the adequacy of the associated safe work method statement by conducting a job safety analysis.
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.
Stages of the tilt-up construction process cover:
design and manufacture
handling, storage and transportation
cranage and erection
temporary bracing, stabilisation and incorporation of concrete panels
demolition
National code of practice refers to:
National Code of Practice for Precast, Tilt-Up and Concrete Elements in Building Construction.
Skills training opportunities could include completing further training, including:
CPCCBC4022A Supervise tilt-up work
CPCCCO3028A Carry out tilt panel construction
CPCCRI3015A Perform advanced tilt-up slab erection.
Regulatory information includes general OHS requirements, such as:
Australian standards AS3850 and AS3600
duty holder responsibilities
emergency procedures
relevant standards, regulations and codes of practice for tilt-up and pre-cast concrete construction
training, supervision and risk management in the context of tilt-up and pre-cast concrete construction.
Documentation, drawings and plans include:
design provisions and drawings
erection and crane drawings and documentation
Job Safety Analysis documentation
marking plan and shop drawings
prefabricators and engineers' inspection reports and statements
safe work method statements
specifications
transport management plan
work plan and/or OHS management plan.
Equipment and tools include:
bracing
cranes
elevated work platforms
manual tools
mobile scaffolding
portable electric and pneumatic tools
props
rigging equipment
rigging gear
safety net and static lines.
Hazards include anything with the potential to cause injury, harm or ill health, such as:
environmental factors, e.g. wind, temperature, noise and lighting
overhead or underground services
trees, buildings and structures
uneven or unstable ground
unstable panels during lifting.
Safe work method statement is a statement that:
describes how safety measures will be implemented to do the work safely
describes the control measures that will be applied to the work activities
identifies work activities assessed as having safety risk or risks
includes a description of the equipment used in the work, the qualifications of the personnel doing the work, and the training required to do the work safely
states the safety risk or risks.
Job safety analysis is:
a technique that breaks a task into steps
identifies the hazards and appropriate control measures for each step.
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
Competency is to be assessed only after completion of the General Induction Training Program specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence must confirm understanding and knowledge of the following:
Relevant legal responsibilities, codes of practice and standards for tilt-up construction work;
the range of common tilt-up construction hazards and procedures for the assessment of risks and application of the hierarchy of control; and
the use of job safety analysis and safe work method statements.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
The relevant OHS authority may have specific requirements concerning the expertise necessary to be a subject expert for assessment of this unit. Assessment must be made in accordance with any such requirements.
Procedures and documentation should cover those used in the workplace.
Resources must be available to support the program including:
relevant standards, regulations and code of practice for tilt-up construction
Australian Standards AS 3850 and AS 3600
participant materials and other information
drawings and specifications
tilt-up slab related plans
safe load tables
safe work method statements
Job Safety Analysis materials.
A range of assessment tools and resources should be used to suit the learning preferences or special learning needs of individual participants.
Method of assessment
Assessment methods may include more than one of the following:
practical assessment
oral questioning
written test
work-based activities
problem solving scenarios
simulated project based activity.
