Performance Evidence
Evidence is required to be collected that demonstrates a candidate’s competency in this unit. Evidence must be relevant to the roles within this sector’s work operations and satisfy all of the requirements of the performance criteria of this unit and include evidence that the candidate:
- locates and applies applicable legislation, documentation, policies and procedures
- works effectively with others to undertake and complete concreting work on concrete bridges that meets all of the required outcomes including:
- communicating clearly and concisely with others to receive and clarify work instructions
- using a range of communication techniques and systems such as signage to advise others of work activity and exclusion zones
- demonstrates completion of undertaking concreting work on concrete bridges that safely, effectively and efficiently meets all of the required outcomes on more than one (1) occasion including:
- pouring and consolidating poured concrete using approved compaction or vibration methods
- completing concrete placing, finishing and curing to the finished form, on a concrete multi-span bridge with a minimum length of twenty metres (20) for each:
- casting in situ decks
- concrete footings/pile caps/abutments
- piers and headstocks
Knowledge Evidence
The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of the following in applying the undertake concreting work on concrete bridges through:
- applying legislative, organisational and site requirements and procedures for:
- risk assessment and management
- site and equipment safety requirements
- bridge construction and sequencing
- steel reinforcement characteristics
- concrete characteristics and properties
- concreting principles
- structural technology
- working in confined spaces
- working at heights and over water
- project quality requirements

- interpreting engineering drawings
- equipment types, characteristics, technical capabilities and limitations
- operational, maintenance and basic diagnostic procedures
- site isolation and traffic control responsibilities and authorities
- safety data sheets and materials handling methods
- JSA/JSEA/safe work method statements
Assessment Conditions
- An assessor of this unit must satisfy the requirements of the NVR/AQTF or their successors; and Industry regulations for certification and licensing; and,
- this unit must be assessed in the context of this sector’s work environment; and,
- this unit must be assessed in compliance with relevant legislation/regulation and using policies, procedures, processes and operational manuals directly related to the industry sector for which it is being assessed; and,
- assessment may be conducted in conjunction with the assessment of other Units of Competency; and,
- assessment must confirm consistent performance can be applied in a range of relevant workplace circumstances; and,
- assessors must demonstrate the performance evidence, and knowledge evidence as outlined in this Unit of Competency, and through the minimum years of current* work experience specified below in an Industry sector relevant to the outcomes of the unit; or,
- where the assessor does not meet experience requirements a co-assessment or partnership arrangement must exist between the qualified assessor and an Industry subject matter expert. The Industry subject matter expert should hold the unit being assessed (or an equivalent unit) and/or demonstrate equivalence of skills and knowledge at the unit level. An Industry technical expert must also demonstrate skills and knowledge from the minimum years of current work experience specified below in the Industry sector, including time spent in roles related to the unit being assessed; and,
- assessor and Industry subject matter expert requirements differ depending on the Australian Qualifications Framework Level (AQF) of the qualification being assessed and/or Industry Sector as follows:
