Overview of assessment
This unit of competency could be assessed by observation of practical demonstration in the workplace using load shifting equipment.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
A person should demonstrate the ability to:
manage and move a range of demolition recyclable and waste materials in two different contexts, using relevant combinations of the following types of equipment:
dozers
earthmoving equipment
forklifts
loaders:
front-end
rear-end
tailgate
trucks:
articulated trucks
open-bodied, including hook lift, pump, and vacuum
rigid
windrow turners
locate, interpret and apply relevant information, standards and specifications relating to the management of demolition recyclable and waste materials
comply with site safety plan and requirements of WHS legislation, regulations and codes of practice applicable to workplace operations
comply with organisational policies and procedures, including quality requirements
communicate and work effectively and safely with others
follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to safely and effectively use the load shifting equipment listed above for their appropriate application, ensuring:
there is no damage to tools or equipment or injury to persons
all work is completed to specification
compliance with regulations, standards and organisational quality procedures and processes.
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
relevant specifications and work instructions
tools and equipment as listed appropriate to applying safe work practices
support materials appropriate to activity
workplace instructions relating to safe work practices and addressing hazards and emergencies
information relevant to each task, such as safety data sheets, work plans and approved specifications, forms and procedures manuals.
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
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 supervisors, team leaders 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.
